I am trying to set up a static ip for my Home Assistant (Supervisor) installation. It is installed in a VirtuaBox on my Win 10 PC and appears to perform correctly. It will launch when I enter http://homeassistant.local:8123 in Chrome and it displays the ipaddress as 192.168.0.16/24.
However my Arris SBG10 router does not display that adress in the Attached Client List. And entering 192.168.0.16/8123 does not launch Home Assistant.
Since The router does not recognize 192.168.0.16, how can I make it a fixed ip address?
I already chatted with Arris, but they did not have an answer and assigned me a Case Number: 2107-20951
Arris Surfboard SBG10
SN A455G5344101904
MAC C8 63 FC 4C 9B 69
then home assistant should obtain an ip address from your dhcp server from your router…
you should be able to find it using the mac address shown on the bridged lan interface in virtual box…
easiest would be to make a reservation for that mac address
I did find the same ip and changed it to static. Interesting that it still does not show in the router list of active ip’s.
Question: why does the ip show as 192.168.0.16/24? What is the 24 for?
On my arris if the ip is fixed from the source it won’t show in the table. There should be a page under dhcp that you can enter the mac address and the ip you want to assign. Then you should see it in the table.
24 is a reference to the section range of ip addresses you are using. It’s not something you need to set.
That’s true for any dhcp server. If the server/router is not the one assigning the IP, possibly a static one by association with the MAC address, it just doesn’t know about it.
Note that if one follows the route of assigning a static IP on the host itself, he must be careful to use an IP not in the range assigned to the DHCP, or you might end-up with 2 devices withe same IP and lots of headaches.
