Because many home networks do have a working DHCP server (typically the
internet modem/router) it makes sense to have this as a *default*
configuration. It just works for so many users.
I'm using as static network right now, as I'm sure many other
debian-user readers do. It is a basic functionality of every software
designed to manage your network, including Network Manager.
In order to switch to static one has to figure out:
1. How is networking configured on this particular device
If you can't figure it out ask the ones providing the
device/software. In case of Raspbian / Armbian it is *not* Debian
(the clue is in the name).
2. What is the *correct* method to alter its configuration
This is usually quite straightforward once you figured out 1.
Kind regards,
Andrei
