Raspberry Pi Setting Static IP Address
There are two ways to set a static IP address for our Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.
The first is to use the MAC (Media Access Control) address value and set the IP address using your router software.
The MAC address can be found by using the ifconfig in terminal mode and press enter. Here is a video on this procedure.
The second method to set the IP address is to use the DHCP client daemon (dhcpcd).
sudo service dhcpcd status
This command will show you if the dhcpcd is running. If not then use the following commands to start and run the service at startup.
sudo service dhcpcd start
sudo systemctl enable dhcpcd
Edit the DHCP Client Daemon by using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file.
interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.1.134/24
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1
Note: /24 represents the mask of 255.255.255.0
Save the changes with ‘Ctrl + O’ and then press the enter key.
Close the configuration file with ‘Ctrl + X’.
Restart to adopt the newly assigned static IP address in the network: sudo reboot

This low-cost small computer plugs into a computer monitor. A keyboard and a mouse can be attached via USB ports.
The Raspberry Pi has quickly become a fixture in the industrial environment when utilizing the internet of things. (IoT)
We will be utilizing this computer to poll and log information from our PLCs using Modbus and MQTT protocols.
Node-RED will be the IoT enabling software that will allow us to utilize this hardware.
