"address" is the IP you want the RPi will assume (in the proper range, as described above). If for example your LAN is configured to have IP adresses in the range x.x.x.1 to x.x.x.255, you will put x.x.x.0 in the network line. Only the address and netmask data are strictly required.

In the file you must insert the following lines: Put a hash at the beginning of the line to disable it or delete it: In the interfaces file look for a line such as: We need root privileges, so we use sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces You can edit the file with any text editor such as nano or vim. You only need to modify the file /etc/network/interfacesīefore you do, backup the current version of the interfaces file, if there is already one sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.sav To achieve this there are a few quick steps to be followed. Using a static IP can be very useful in case you wish to easily access your RPi without need to get its IP address every time it boots or reconnects to the network (i.e. Please help to merge the articles, or discuss the issue on the talk page.

So I could work on the machine from my laptop, I enabled remote root SSH access (disable this later).This page is may need to be merged with other page(s) including Configuring a Static IP address on your Raspberry Pi. There are no non-root users, so you login as root with no password, which you’ll want to immediately change with passwd. With my microSD card ready I plugged in my micro-HDMI adapter and HDMI cable and a USB keyboard and booted into Debian. I flashed the image onto a 32 gig microSD card with Balena Etcher for OSX. I started with the Tested Images and downloaded the proper xz-compressed image for each machine type. The instructions are fairly similar for each, so I’m going to focus on the Raspberry Pi 4. Setting up and configuring these is pretty straightforward, but I thought I’d add my notes for easier reference. I primarily ran Rasberry Pi OS Lite, but with the release of Debian 11 there are official Raspberry Pi images available with for a minimal installation. In my home lab I have a several Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 3 B+, and Raspberry Pi Zero W devices. Installing Debian 11 on a Raspberry Pi Zero/3/4 Getting Started
