All our servers have static IP addresses because it's more fail reliable as does not depend on a DHCP server.
Gentoo
If you want to use the iproute2 module, make sure you emerge this package or networking will fail!!
File: /etc/conf.d/net.eth0 (or /etc/conf.d/net if the first does not exist)
config_eth0=( "209.87.56.xx/24" ) routes_eth0=( "default via 209.87.56.254" )
If you want to set a static IP to 2 or more bonded network cards, your config would look like this:
modules=( "iproute2" ) iproute_eth0=( "null" ) iproute_eth1=( "null" ) slaves_bond0="eth0 eth1" ipaddr_bond0=( "209.87.56.16/24 brd 209.87.56.255" ) iproute_bond0=( "default via 209.87.56.254" )
SUSE Linux
Use yast.
Fedora Core
The networking file depends which version of Fedora Core you are using.
Fedora Core 1: /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
Fedora Core 2+: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Add these values to the file and remove all dhcp settings.
IPADDR=209.87.56.xx NETWORK=209.87.56.0 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=209.87.56.254
