Internal Scanner Static IP Configuration

The FP Internal scanner uses cloud-init to get it’s IP address configuration.

Reference: https://netplan.io/examples

The FP Internal Scanner appliance uses the: /etc/netplan/60-coda-init.yaml file. In order to set the static IP you need to edit it.

In order to check current netplan configuration you can run:

sudo netplan get

Default configuration should be using DHCP, if you would like to revert to DHCP then this is the file structure:

network:
  version: 2
  ethernets:
    eth0:
      dhcp4: true

If changes are required then please edit the /etc/netplan/60-coda-init.yaml:

sudo vi /etc/netplan/60-cloud-init.yaml

Change the existing config to the following structure:

Note: to edit in vi you need to press INSERT Key or CTRL + i

network:
  version: 2
  ethernets:
    eth0:
      addresses:
        - 192.168.159.166/24
      nameservers:
        addresses: [192.168.159.1, 8.8.8.8]
      routes:
        - to: default
          via: 192.168.159.1

Save the file by pressing ESC Key + :wq

To apply the new configuration after you have edited the file please initiate a netplan try/apply.

sudo netplan try
sudo netplan apply

 References and Notes [Optional]:

Also note netplan application priority:

Netplan's configuration files use the YAML format. All /{lib,etc,run}/netplan/*.yaml are considered. Lexicographically later files (regardless of in which directory they are) amend (new mapping keys) or override (same mapping keys) previous ones. A file in /run/netplan completely shadows a file with same name in /etc/netplan, and a file in either of those directories shadows a file with the same name in /lib/netplan.
