Marked as a beta test – operation and reliability may still change here. Shows the device's network connections and lets you add or remove fixed (static) IP addresses.

Network settings

Network settings

For each connection, the following is shown: name, device (e.g. eth0) and status, plus a list of the assigned addresses with their method (manual = statically assigned, auto = obtained automatically via DHCP).

  • Remove IP address (bin icon): only visible for manually assigned addresses, and only if the connection has more than one address – so a connection is never left completely without an address.
  • Add IP address (plus icon) opens a small form:
    • IP address: e.g. 192.168.1.50.
    • CIDR suffix: the netmask as a number, e.g. 24 for a typical 255.255.255.0 mask. Together this gives 192.168.1.50/24.
    • Clicking the save icon adds the address.

Caution

An incorrectly assigned IP address can cause the SmartPi to become unreachable on the network. If in doubt, do not remove the existing means of access (e.g. via DHCP) until a working static address has been confirmed.
