By default, our system’s IP address in Debian is obtained through DHCP, however, you can modify it and assign it a static IP address using the following steps:

1. Edit the following file with nano, /etc/network/interfaces.

```auto
nano /etc/network/interfaces

```

Change

```auto
#The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dchp

```

With the following.

```auto
#The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.200
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

```

Save and Exit

1. Enable the interface.

```auto
ifup eth0
reboot

```
