static_ip.conf

File Location And Role

The file lives at /data/etc/static_ip.conf. It can be provisioned using /boot/static_ip.conf and uses /etc/static_ip.conf as a default.

If the file is present at all, values defined by it are used to control the static IP configuration of the system.

File Format

This is a simple shell script that should contain only NAME="value" lines. The file is sourced by the network init script.
