#265521 — Edit NIC Address

Morning Group,

With the latest Debian I'm trying to find the file to edit to change
the IP address of a remote box, can anybody point me in the correct
direction please?

I can SSH into this box, but cannot find the file to edit.

Thank you,

David.

Traditionally it would be in /etc/network/interfaces used by ifupdown. Mine is in
/etc/systemd/network/eth0.network because I'm using systemd-networkd. Where
NetworkMangler users keep theirs I have no information. If you can search files in
the /etc/ tree for string 192.168. or 10.0. or 172.16. likely you'll find it.

Thank you for the replies.

After doing a grep search for 192.168.205 I was given the
directory /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Wired connection
1.nmconnection::address1-192.168.205.42/24

I can go to the directory /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

But I cannot find the file to edit.

Can anybody help me please?

David.

Use the Networkmanager (nmcli, nmtui) to edit it.

nmcli connection show

nmcli connection edit <UUID>

"print" gives all attributes
set <attribute>
changes it.

save to write it and then 
nmcli connection up <uuid> to apply it.

The file is in /run/NetworkManager/system-connections if you haven't 
placed a configuration file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections

I copy the files from /run/NetworkManager/system-connections to 
/NetworkManager/system-connections after first boot.

the debian wiki has some information and here:

Try this: ls "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Wired connection
1.nmconnection"

Or this: ls /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Wired\ connection\
1.nmconnection

The spaces in the name create an annoyance.

I can go to the directory /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

There are various ways to configure it.
Files in /etc/network, systemd-networkd, NetworkManager, etc.

I use nmtuI (from a terminal) for jobs like this. I think it is 
installed by default.


I'd bet you'll be terminated when the change activates

Right now we have strong indications that the remote box
is not a default install. My advice to Original Poster is to contact
the people who know more about the (remote) machine. They even might
be the best persons for making the IP-address change. 



> I'd bet you'll be terminated when the change activates

And I would like to know how to reconnect after the change.

Yeah, it might not be possible, so I hope O.P. can revert the change.

Awareness of timezone differences is another good reason
to reply below previous text.

Thank the group by sharing knowledge how it went.
