static IP setup in stratum-1 HOWTO

[wis1 at comcast.net]

For setting a static IP, the "Stratum-1-Microserver HOWTO" punts to the
reference "[EAT-STATIC] Tutorial - How to give your Raspberry Pi a Static IP
Address"
(http://www.modmypi.com/blog/tutorial-how-to-give-your-raspberry-pi-a-static
-ip-address). This page describes modifying the file
"/etc/network/interfaces".

 

this file contains, for the stock, current Raspberry PI OS (uname -a: "Linux
raspberrypi 5.4.51-v7l+ #1333 SMP Mon Aug 10 16:51:40 BST 2020 armv7l
GNU/Linux"):

 

$ cat /etc/network/interfaces

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

 

# Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd

# For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf'

 

# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:

source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

$

 

It is clearly involved with 'dhcpdc', but how? The implication (unstated) is
that If the static IP data is manually put in this file and 'dhcpdc'
disabled, 'ifup' and 'ifdown' will use this file and function properly. Am I
understanding correctly?

 

Thanks,
