Hey everyone Thank you so much for everyone's input and help.
After following everyone's advice, I got it working my making use of these steps (for future use): System: Ubuntu 18.04 server Matlab 2012B Steps: #To setup the dummy interface 1. sudo modprobe dummy #To see if the dummy interface is loaded 2. sudo lsmod | grep dummy #Add the link eth0 to the dummy interface 3. sudo ip link add eth0 type dummy #to make sure the link exists 4. ip link show eth0 #Assign MAC address to eth0 5. sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 0c:c4:7a:9a:ca:e6 #assign IP address to eth0 6. sudo ip address change dev eth0 10.0.0.1 #Link up to eth0 7. sudo ip link set dev eth0 up #cjeck that the link is up 8. ifconfig And it is working now.
