IP and Network configuration

Enable the SSH Server

In Raspian Jessie it should be activated allready. If not enable the SSH server by opening the raspi-config: 

$ sudo raspi-config

In 8. Advanced Options you can activate SSH.

Static IP Address

Look up your gateway: 

$ netstat -r -n

Find you IP address: 

$ ifconfig

or: 

$ ip addr

Give the Raspberry Pi a static IP address. Open the interfaces file: 

$ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Add these lines: 

  # Ethernet
  iface eth0 inet dhcp
  allow-hotplug eth0
  auto eth0:1
  iface eth0:1 inet static
    address 192.168.0.199
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.0.1

Or: 

  # Ethernet
  allow-hotplug eth0
  iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.0.199
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.0.1
    dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1

Save and quit, ctl+o, Return, ctl+x.

Disable the DHCP-Client:
In Raspbian Wheezy: 

$ sudo service dhcpcd stop
$ sudo update-rc.d -f dhcpcd remove

In Raspbian Jessie: 

$ sudo service dhcpcd stop
$ sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd

Restart ethernet: 

$ sudo ifdown eth0:1
$ sudo ifup eth0:1

Or/and reboot: 

$ sudo reboot

Login over SSH

One can login from your computer with: 

$ ssh pi@192.168.0.199

or with XWindows support: 

$ ssh -XY pi@192.168.0.111

PW: raspberry
Or install an VNC server: VNC
