😁 How to configure Kali Linux to use a static IP address

In this article, we'll cover:
1. What is a static IP address used for?
2. Manually assigning IP addresses bypassing DHCP in a router
3. What are the Address, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS server when setting up a static address?
4. Setting up a static IP address in Kali Linux (in Xfce)
5. Setting up a static IP address in Network Manager in Kali Linux (in GNOME)
6. Setting up a static IP address in Kali Linux (in Cinnamon)
7. Setting up a static IP address in the Kali Linux command line

A static IP address is a fixed, permanent address that is assigned to a specific device for a long period of time.

This address does not change when the device is rebooted or reconnected to the network – it remains unchanged until the administrator decides to change it manually.
