Your VM should now properly run with the static IP address you have specified (192.168.247.40 in my case).Adjust the hostname in /etc/hostname as needed.Adjust your host definitions in /etc/hosts as needed.Edit the network interface definitions in /etc/network/interfaces and adjust them so that your entry for the primary network interface looks similar to this:.Create a backup of the file /etc/network/interfaces.Power up the VM and within the VM change the IP settings from dynamic to static IP:.

NOTE: Network Adapter is set to VMnet2 now.

Only the new NAT network entry will be used for the VM. NOTE: the subnet is determined by the previous DHCP setup! Add a new network interface (VMnet2 in my case) with the following settings:.Remove or disable the existing network interfaces (VMnet0 and VMnet1 in my case you may see different names): Open the Virtual Network Editor (top menu Edit->Virtual Network Editor).Adjust the network settings using VMWare Virtual Network Editor for hosting VM with static IP:.IMPORTANT: note down this subnet information! In my case the ethernet interface was shown as 'ens33' with the DHCP setup being configured for the subnet. In the console / terminal window issue the ifconfig command to retrieve the network interface configuration. Power up the VM (if it is not running) and note the DHCP IP settings.The current configuration is displayed like this one: Once your VM is created open the VM properties.iso file of the just downloaded Ubuntu image. Create a new virtual machine(VM) using the.The version used here is: Ubuntu Server 16.04.3 LTS Please see the APIC product documentation for details. For the latter, the network configuration commands of the respective component need to be used. the IBM DataPower component and the APIC Management Server component). the Developer Portal component) are implemented on Linux, and a similar approach can be followed for the others (e.g.

This procedure to configure VMWare images with static IP addresses is useful when setting up IBM API Connect (APIC) on VMWare. NOTE: VMWare Workstation 12 and Ubuntu Linux was used for this setup.
