Configuring a Static IP Address on the Raspberry Pi
A static IP address will ensure that the Raspberry Pi will always have the same IP address. Without a static IP address the DHCP service on your router will randomly assign IP addresses from its IP range. A fixed IP address will make it easier to remotely connect to the Raspberry Pi.
In this example, the IP address for the Raspberry Pi will be set to 192.168.0.17.
