Simple network question, static IP address configuration?

Question

Computer networks

Good day,

I have a very simple question, tell me how to proceed.

For example, there is a virtual server on ubuntu. It is configured as dhcp. I want to enter a static address like this (example):
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

But when I look at the DHCP configuration, broadcast 192.168.1.254 is entered instead of gateway. Those. it turns out that I need to enter in a static config on the server?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Nothing.
Broadcast will be automatically calculated based on the subnet mask.
You need to manually enter ip address, subnet mask, default gateway.
