# Configuring Static IP Addresses With Networkd

To configure a static IP address using the new NetPlan tool, the file should look like this: IPv4 address (192.168.1.2), Gateway (192.168.1.1), DNS Servers (8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4)

Run the commands below to create a new network configuration file

`sudo nano /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml`

Then configure IPv4 addresses as shown below… take notes of the format the lines are written…

_For more information, see netplan(5)._

```yaml
network:
 version: 2
 renderer: networkd
 ethernets:
   ens33:
     dhcp4: no
     dhcp6: no
     addresses: [192.168.1.2/24]
     gateway4: 192.168.1.1
     nameservers:
       addresses: [8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4]
```

Exit and save your changes by running the commands below

`sudo netplan apply`

You can add IPv6 addresses line, separated by a comma.. example below.

```

Save your changes, apply and you’re done.
