Assigning a static IP address to the EVM

There might be certain cases where we might want to assign a static IP address to the EVM.

Usually we pass ip=dhcp to the kernel command line. This will result in the kernel booting up with an IP address from the dhcp server. An example of this would be

console=cio ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=158.218.100.25:/opt/min-root-c6x rw

To boot up the EVM with a static ip address change the command line to

console=cio ip=157.217.104.33 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=157.217.104.35:/opt/min-root-c6x rw

This will result in the EVM booting up with an IP address 157.217.104.33
