[Cialug] Raspbian Jessie & Static IPs

[L. V. Lammert]

OK, . . looks like Raspbian Jessie is completely broken when it comes to
static IPs!

Using /etc/network/interfaces no longer works (any entry must have "auto"
on the interface, which both pulls a DHCP address AND uses the static
value in the file).

There are examples of using static entries in /etc/dhcpcd.conf, such as:

interface eth0
        static ip address 206.197.251.243/24
        static routers 206.197.251.254

interface eth1
        static address 10.0.0.243/24
        static routers 10.0.0.254

interface eth2
        static address 10.0.1.254/24

However, this is also a non-starter - interfaces ONLY get a DHCP address.

Trying now with removing dhcpcd5 entirely, but then I will have to install
something else for a dhcp server. Sheesh.

Has anyone been successful in configuration a static network?

	TIA!
