DNS when using Static IP

DNS when using Static IP

[Tarek El-Sherbiny]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 486 bytes --]

Hi.

I'm trying to set my IP config to a static address.

iface eth0 inet static
     address 192.168.55.45
     network 192.168.55.0
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     broadcast 192.168.55.255
     gateway 192.168.55.1
     dns-nameservers 192.168.10.2

But I don't get the DNS server address to be included in /etc/resolv.conf

If I run in dchp mode, then the resolv.conf is updated with my DNS address.
Is there something I'm missing here in my setup?

Hello,

What image did you start from, if any?
i.e., core-image-minimal, core-image-sato, etc…
Is connman included?

No connman is not included.  Shall I include it and try?

Not really, I just wanted to get a better overview of the issue that you are facing.
What image did you started from, if any?

Re: DNS when using Static IP

[Mike Looijmans]

When using DHCP, busybox's udhcpc script will write the DNS entries that 
the server returned into the resolv.conf file.

In this case, I think you'll have to "provide" resolv.conf in some other 
way, there's nothing in ifup/ifdown that will modify resolv.conf based 
on keywords in the interfaces file.

Mike.

I have created  resolv.conf  manually using vi but every time I do a reboot
the file comes back empty. and the dns function is not working.

What is the best solution to this?

FWIW, in Debian-based systems, which is where ifupdown comes from, you
need to install the resolvconf package in order to handle
dns-nameservers entries. I don't know whether that's compatible with
busybox' implementation of ifupdown, though.

Andreas
