Tried setting static ip

Question

I tried to set a static ip using the method below, but it didn't work. So on reboot I changed the settings back, disabled networking and reenabled dhcpcd but now I don't get any ip. Can anyone help??

Network Interfaces method

Configure a static network adddress on your Pi in /etc/network/interfaces

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.1.1.30
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 10.1.1.1

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
        address 10.1.1.31
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 10.1.1.1
    wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

address is the address from the command above (or another unused address on the same network), netmask 255.255.255.0 corresponds to network size/24. gateway is the address of your router (or gateway).

You can also specify dns-nameservers, but this is generally not necessary. The broadcast is automatically derived from address and netmask and need not be specified. For more detail see https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration

You can set either or both eth0 or wlan0

Then disable the DHCP client daemon and switch to standard Debian networking:

sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd
sudo systemctl enable networking

Reboot for the changes to take effect:

sudo reboot

I had the same problem only 30 minutes ago and fixed it this way:

Open /etc/dhcpcd.conf

sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf

There you can set the IP address as well:

interface eth0
static ip_address=10.1.1.30/24
static routers=10.1.1.1

After a reboot, I had the IP address I wanted for the RPi.
