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

Alice AUSTIN

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.

  • 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?

  • After setting static ip to my EVE NG it was facing issue with internet connetivity so i changed EVE NG VM ethernet settings to bridge connection and its working well..thanks for sharing commands to change static ip on EVE NG

  • I smashed the like button, but now my mouse isn't working anymore. Do you have a tutorial for that?

  • Pretty important note, linux is case sensitive.

  • THANKS!! was using a local lab with QEMU (qcow2 image), getting DHCP. then I moved to a ESXI server converted to vmdk but dont have a DHCP server.
    now i could set a static ip!

  • 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.

  • Thank you for the info! Easy to follow and was able to update my EVE-NG management IP.

  • Thanks i by mistake pressed enter on the DHCP and was foundering how to reset this, to get static ip setup. Great video and straight to the point!

  • Instead of taking me to subnet mask it takes me to proxy or direct click
