Configuring the Internet Interfaces
Automatic Configuration
Raspbian does a good job of configuring wireless networks automatically. By default, DHCP is
configured so that the Pi will receive an IP address when a network cable is plugged it to the
Ethernet port or when a wireless network is connected.
To use the graphical network tool, right click on the icon on the right side of the task bar, and
click "WiFi Networks (dhcpcdui) Settings". Then, select the interface desired (wlan0 or eth0) to
disable the DHCP and set your own IP, if necessary.
To connect to a wireless network, click on the icon, select the desired network, and enter the
password.
Hovering over the icon will bring up a status of wlan0 and eth0 that also shows the IP address.
Manual (text-based) Configuration
At this time, the network configuration works out of the box so there's really nothing to configure,
but in case something goes awry, here's the basics of what can be played with and a known-
working configuration to compare with.
A configuration file, interfaces, configures both wired and wireless devices. Enter the following
command into a terminal to edit the interfaces file.
COPY CODEsudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
Replace "nano" with "leafpad" if you prefer graphics. Here's what our Pi 3 is using:
COPY CODE# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd
# For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf'
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
