To connect the RevPi to a network without DHCP, a static IP address must be configured for the device.

Via Cockpit #

✓ RevPi Bookworm or higher is installed on the RevPi.

✓ There is a network connection via DHCP between the RevPi and your PC.

▷ Start Cockpit.

▷ Select Networking in the menu.

▷ Select under Interfaces the network used.

▷ Select IPv4 or IPv6 to edit.

▷ Select the Manual option under Addresses.

▷ Under Address, define a static IP in the format 255.255.255.0:
Example: 192.168.1.100

▷ Define the subnet mask under Prefix length:
Example: 24

▷ Configure the IP address of the router under Gateway:
Example: 192.168.1.1

▷ Save the connection and reboot the RevPi.

Via NetworkManager #

✓ RevPi Bullseye (06/2023) or higher is installed on the RevPi.

▷ Set up desktop mode for the RevPi
or establish a network connection via DHCP at first and log in via a terminal.

▷ Start the NetworkManager in the terminal with:

sudo nmtui
Note

From the RevPi Bookworm (08/2025), users need to enter their password when executing commands with sudo.

▷ Create a new connection via the NetworkManager:

  • Type: Ethernet

  • Device: eth0 or eth1

  • IPv4 Configuration: Manual

▷ Under Addresses, define a static IP in the format 255.255.255.0 and subnet mask /24:
Example: 192.168.1.100/24

▷ Configure the IP address of the router under Gateway:
Example: 192.168.1.1

▷ Configure the DNS server address under DNS servers:
Example: 192.168.1.1

▷ Save the connection and reboot the RevPi.
