Cant use static ip (vmware)

[Member cnyx]

Good day.
I have fresh install on VMWARE. Net card is bridged. Antix get ip from router by DHCP, but i want use static IP manualy.
Before run ceni

$ ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0c:29:c6:ee:1e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.200.90/24 brd 192.168.200.255 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::20c:29ff:fec6:ee1e/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Then run
sudo ceni
configure IP, GW, DNS and apply settings and get error

ifup: configuring interface eth0=eth0 (inet)
/bin/run-parts --exit-on-error --verbose /etc/network/if-pre-up.d
run-parts: executing /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools

/sbin/ip link set dev eth0   up
 /sbin/ip route add default via 192.168.200.1  dev eth0 onlink 
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
ifup: failed to bring up eth0
W: up eth0 failed due to error at /usr/sbin/ceni line 1516.

Press Enter key to continue ...
$ ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0c:29:c6:ee:1e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.200.90/24 brd 192.168.200.255 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet 192.168.200.9/24 brd 192.168.200.255 scope global secondary eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::20c:29ff:fec6:ee1e/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

but if i reboot, then antix have IP by DHCP, not static.
If i turn off “connman” on booting, then dont work DNS.
How use static IP without troubles?
Than you.

Hi,

I had this same issue it appears to be because ifup and ifdown can;t run because the nic isn’t listed in /run/network/ifstate

in my case tdoing sudo cat /run/network/ifstate
showed:

lo=lo
I used nano to add:
eth0=eth0
and alls good , internet searches seem to suggest this is is because if up may not have been used to bring the interface up.
