I have both of my BAMT rigs set to static IP's, but I didnt use SSH to do it (although those instructions should work, I instead hooked it up to a monitor and set it that way.  Its the one thing I do through the GUI, everything else I command line.  I would recommend doing it that way.

thanks very much.   plug a monitor that way, it is working.   but if you manager over 50  or 100 or 200 rigs.   it is more complicated.


any easier way to set the bamt to static ip?


Best.

after making changes in a usb based filesystem like bamt you will want to call "sync" command should ensure everything is written then do a "coldreboot" call to restart should maintain from that.

SSH into your unit, then set the static IP like this.

Code:

iface eth0 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

After that, do as suggested and do a sync so it saves the settings.

Also use your router just set a permanent lease (That's what I did) thus no change needed on OS but IP never changes :-)

if your have many rigs, it will get you mad.. .haha.   it is good idea for little rigs.

Not necessarily.  Its one of those do it once and never have to worry about it things.  You set the router to assign an IP address to a certain MAC address and every time you plug that machine in, the DHCP would assign it that address, even if you re-install the OS.

Wonder how many you qualify as "many"  I have about 5 perm leases in my router right now.  Depends on router maybe some may not function well with this.  But either way you should get it to stick if sync coldreboot is used on system or do the router thing....assume you got it now?

i've tried sync,

and coldreboot.  but it still failed.

Well I dont know, maybe with the special litecoin build there were some things taken out and thats why its not working.  It has worked for me, but I use regular BAMT, even for litecoin mining.
