Editing the Interfaces File
• Lines 1 and 2 are for the loopback interface and should not be changed.
• Lines 4 and 5 configure the Ethernet port to use DHCP. If a DHCP server is available, this will
be the default address and will be assigned by the router. If DHCP is not desired, comment out
lines 4 and 5. (To comment a line out, place a “#” character at the beginning of the line.)
• Lines 7–10 are used to configure an alias on the Ethernet port so that a static IP address can be
used. The default address as shipped is 192.168.1.200 and the netmask is 255.255.255.0. The
static IP address can be changed to match the user’s network.
