Set Static IP Address on EVE-NG: Restart the setup process

Find out how to switch from DHCP to a Static IP address on EVE-NG. If your EVE-NG installation was not able to get an IP address via DHCP, then you can restart the EVE-NG setup process and manually configure a static IP address using the steps below.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Login to the EVE-NG VM (default: username: root / password eve)

2. Remove the saved EVE-NG config file: rm -f /opt/ovf/.configured

3. Restart the setup process: su -

4. Go through the setup process (select a static IP address using the spacebar)

5. After the reset process is finished, your EVE-NG will be set up with the new static IP address.

Hey Jon - was building out an eve-ng instance (I am a long time GNS3 user and wanted to give Eve another chance). I was configuring a static IP and EVE lets you hit enter even if there is no IP entered. Anyone long story short this video was super helpful in getting it fixed quickly. Keep up the good work.

Hello, I need help setting up my virtual network editor. It was working but all of a sudden i could not log in with the IP i was using. Not sure how to set up my VMnet nics, I just want to keep it simple and just pick up an IP using DHCP or get it dynamically.

Hello Jon, Quick question, I am tring to rese EV-NGt root password, EVE FAQ mentions to use the same command : rm -f /opt/ovf/.configured, to reset the password, however, since I am not able to login I get stuck in the user/pass propmt, any idea?

Hey Jon, already changed to Static but i cant open on browser, even i put the right ip on the address bar. it says The Site can't be reached, is there something wrong. Tell me what gateway ip you refer in the video. coz i use 192.168.18.1 (Modem) but still cant reach

Pretty important note, linux is case sensitive.
