static_ip.conf

File Location And Role

The file can be found at /data/etc/static_ip.conf. At first boot, it is created from the template file /boot/static.conf, if present, or otherwise from /etc/static.conf, if present.

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.

If set, will be used as the default gateway (e.g. 192.168.1.1).
