<title>IPv4 Configuration</title>
<para>
By default, NixOS uses DHCP (specifically, <command>dhcpcd</command>) to
automatically configure network interfaces. However, you can configure an
interface manually as follows:
<programlisting>
<link linkend="opt-networking.interfaces._name__.ipv4.addresses">networking.interfaces.eth0.ipv4.addresses</link> = [ {
address = "192.168.1.2";
prefixLength = 24;
} ];
</programlisting>
Typically you’ll also want to set a default gateway and set of name
servers:
<programlisting>
<xref linkend="opt-networking.defaultGateway"/> = "192.168.1.1";
<xref linkend="opt-networking.nameservers"/> = [ "8.8.8.8" ];
</programlisting>
</para>
<note>
<para>
Statically configured interfaces are set up by the systemd service
<replaceable>interface-name</replaceable><literal>-cfg.service</literal>.
The default gateway and name server configuration is performed by
<literal>network-setup.service</literal>.
</para>
</note>
<para>
The host name is set using <xref linkend="opt-networking.hostName"/>:
<programlisting>
<xref linkend="opt-networking.hostName"/> = "cartman";
</programlisting>
The default host name is <literal>nixos</literal>. Set it to the empty string
(<literal>""</literal>) to allow the DHCP server to provide the host name.
