static IP setup in stratum-1 HOWTO

[Paul Theodoropoulos]

The /etc/network/interfaces file, _in its default state upon 
installation_, is written for use with dhcpcd. You can modify it however 
you like though. I don't use dhcpcd, so:

root@ A-ntpVIZ: ~ # systemctl stop dhcpcd && systemctl disable dhcpcd
root@ A-ntpVIZ: ~ # 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

#auto wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet static
#      address 192.168.1.44
#      netmask 255.255.255.0
#      gateway 192.168.1.253
#      wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
#      wireless-power off
#      dns-nameservers 192.168.1.44 192.168.1.13

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
       address 192.168.1.44
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       gateway 192.168.1.253
       dns-nameservers 192.168.1.44 192.168.1.13

That's really all you need.
