How To Configure Static IP address on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS using VirtualBox

October 30, 2017 by Rick Hernandez Leave a Comment

We will be configuring Ubuntu 16.04 LTS using VirtualBox to set up two Network interfaces.

1) NAT
2) Host-only Adapter

The NAT one will provide internet access to the virtual machine and the Host-only Adapter will provide us with SSH support from our ssh client.

We don’t want just anyone trying to ssh to the virtual machine from our network this is why we will be using two adapters. Go ahead and set up the adapters in VirtualBox.

Step 1
Step 2

Once you have both of those steps configured startup the machine and open up this file.

Talk soon,

Rick H.
