How to configure the Linux kernel address?

There are several ways to configure the Linux kernel address.

  1. Using command line parameters: It is possible to configure the kernel address by using command line parameters at startup. For example, in the GRUB boot loader, you can edit the kernel line and add parameters such as ip=192.168.0.10 to set the kernel address as 192.168.0.10.
  2. To use a configuration file, you can configure the kernel address by editing it. Configuration files are typically located in /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg- in most Linux distributions.
  3. Use network management tools: You can configure the network address using network management tools. For example, Netplan can be used in Ubuntu and NetworkManager can be used in CentOS.
  4. Using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): DHCP can be used to automatically assign IP addresses. In most Linux distributions, DHCP is enabled by default and can be configured by editing configuration files or using network management tools.

Regardless of which method is used to configure the kernel address, a system restart or a restart of the network service is required for the configuration to take effect.
