# Assigning a Static IP If DHCP is Disabled

Assign a static IP address to the interfaces, if DHCP is not enabled.

## Procedure

1. Login to a node using the following credentials:

   Login: root

   Password: cvadmin

   Note

   This password can be changed during setup.

2. Navigate to the following folder:

       /opt/commvault/MediaAgent

3. Execute the following command to generate an input configuration file:

       ./cvconfignw.py genconfig or -g $[output configuration file path]

4. Edit the configuration file to add the device name, IP, gateway and name server details.

       [network]
       device =
       ipaddr =
       gateway =
       nameserver1 =
       nameserver2 =
       netmask =

   Where:

   `device` is the network interface name, surrounded by parenthesis ( ).

   For example:

   The entries in this file should be similar to the following:

       [network]
       device =$[enpsf3]
       ipaddr =$[101.102.103.104]
       gateway =$[101.100.100.100]
       nameserver1 =$[103.99.99.1]
       nameserver2 =$[104.99.99.2]
       netmask =$[100.100.100.1]
       device =$[enpsf5]
       ipaddr =$[20.20.226.297]
       gateway =$[101.100.100.100]
       nameserver1 =$[103.99.99.1]
       nameserver2 =$[104.99.99.2]
       netmask =100.100.100.1

   Note

   You would have to repeat the entries to define the data protection and storage pool networks.

5. Execute the following command to apply the settings:

       ./cvconfignw.py configure or -c $[config file path]

6. Repeat these steps in the other nodes.

## What to Do Next

- Setup a block consisting of 3 nodes to ensure that the correct nodes are identified and configured when the setup is run. For more information, see Setting up a Block.
