Static ip

igloo · December 31, 2018 at 11:00 AM

Hi,

i have orangepi lite and i'm running latest libreelec 9.1 update. i'm using a cheap usb-lan and it hasn't a preset mac address so at each boot there is a new mac.

i solved this using this post procedure adapted to lan interface :

Code

(
sleep 10
/usr/sbin/ip link set dev eth0 down
/usr/sbin/ip link set dev eth0 address 11:22:33:44:55:66
/usr/sbin/ip link set dev eth0 up
)&

after that the mac is unchanged and appears with ifconfig but with ip still no success from both command line or gui , so i tried with fixed mac from u-boot with these commands

Code

setenv -f ethaddr 11:22:33:44:55:66

saveenv

the command is successfull and at u-boot prompt if i type

Code

printenv
.....
ethaddr 11:22:33:44:55:66
.....

the correct mac is displayed. but the fixed ip still doesn't work. am i missing something? is there something else that should be done with connman ?

Does your router (or whatever is running as your DHCP server) definitely always give the same DHCP leased IP address to the same MAC address? Not all routers do.

I don't think so, and i can't configure static ip based on mac from router or i still haven't found it yet. The problem seems related to kodi. here are two reboots :

1st one :

Code

libreelec:~ # ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 9E:D4:F0:86:E7:48

snd reboot :

and in Kody interface, in system info i have another MAC address : 52:03:B0:93:41:AA, but sometimes it is the correct assigned MAC.

Remove the autostart.sh script and clean boot, then run "journalctl -b 0 --no-pager | paste" after startup and share the URL.

Sorry for replying so late,

the problem is solved , but from outside both kodi and Libreelec. Since the chip used in my usb dongle is a well-known RTL8153 i used the flashtool from realtek and assigned a mac address (which was marked 00:00:00:00:00:00 before flash) now i have have a normal static ip without the need for the autostart.sh, but i did not change the u-boot assignment.

May be the problem was related to kodi.
