Configuring a Static IP Address on a Run-Time Image

By default, all run-time images created in Target Designer are configured to use DHCP. You cannot configure a run-time image with a static IP address in Target Designer.

After a run-time image is deployed, you can set a static IP address by using the Net Shell (Netsh) utility.

To configure a static IP address on a run-time image

  1. Open a command prompt on the run-time image.

  2. Type the following Netsh syntax:

    netsh interface ip set address <interface name> static <ip address> <mask> <default gateway> <gateway interface metric> 
    

    For example, to set a static IP address of 192.168.1.10 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0, type the following command:

    netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 1
    

    After configuring the static IP address, you can make additional configurations with Netsh, including setting addresses for multiple network interfaces or configuring routers.
