Thanks Slimdevices team for the great product! I need to assign static IP address to Squeezebox Controller. Reasons: 1. I'm not running DHCP server in my network 2. SBC will wake up from sleep faster since it doesn't have to obtain DHCP address. In fact 6 seconds faster in my setup. 3. it may help to eliminate SBC GUI freeze of wheel unresponsiveness when navigating through menus and suddenly it is time to renew DHCP lease. 4. it is easier to track devices with static IPs 5. I just want to know if it is possible to do this
I enabled SSH on SBC, SSHed in and looked around. It looks like I just need to modify two files. In /etc/network/interfaces I need to replace iface myssid inet dhcp script /etc/network/udhcpc_action with iface myssid inet static address <static IP address> network <network address> netmask <network mask> gateway <default gateway IP address> script /etc/network/udhcpc_action And I need to put DNS server IP address into /etc/resolv.conf Is this right approach to achieve what I need? How to stop DHCP client since we don't need it anymore? Will these setting be preserved through SBC firmware upgrade? If everything goes sour would SBC factory reset restore these files? I would appreciate Slimdevices folks response or anyone who is familiar with Busybox setup. I saw lots of posts here asking about how to assign static IP to SBC but no real solution yet. Thank you for SSH access!
