My Setup:

• RHEL 9 spinning on Vbox with a wireless home router

Steps to Assign Static IP:

1. Note the IP address that your home router has provided using this command: nmcli or ip a.

   

2. You can view more information from the output of the command below: nmcli connection show enp0s8

   

   Note IP4.ADDRESS and IP4.GATEWAY assigned.

3. Update static IP [IP4.ADDRESS noted in step 2] using the command below:

   nmcli con mod enp0s8 ipv4.method manual ipv4.addr "192.168.0.108/24"

1. Check updated setting in below file under ipv4 section:

   /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/enp0s8.nmconnection

   

2. Restart network services:

   nmcli con down enp0s8

   nmcli con up enp0s8

1. Now check status with command nmcli:

   

2. Try to ssh from mobaxterm or putty:

   

   Voilà!

Revert to Dynamic ip configuration:

Run the following commands:

nmcli con mod enp0s8 ipv4.method auto

nmcli con mod enp0s8 ipv4.address ""

Restart Network Services:

nmcli con down enp0s8

nmcli con up enp0s8

Done!

Examine the ipv4 section of the config file now.

/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/enp0s8.nmconnection

I hope you found this useful!
