+# Set a static IP address with nmtui on Raspberry Pi OS 12 'Bookworm'
+
+https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/set-static-ip-address-nmtui-on-raspberry-pi-os-12-bookworm
+
+So setting a static IP via the command line is a little different.
+
+First, get the interface information---you can get a list of all interfaces with `nmcli device status`:
+
+```
+$ nmcli device status
+DEVICE         TYPE      STATE                   CONNECTION
+eth0           ethernet  connected               Wired connection 1
+lo             loopback  connected (externally)  lo
+wlan0          wifi      disconnected            --
+
+```
+
+In my case, I want to set an IP on `eth0`, the built-in Ethernet.
+
+I can get all the current information about that port with `nmcli device show eth0`, and I can edit the connection using the terminal UI (`nmtui`):
+
+```
+$ sudo nmtui edit "Wired connection 1"
+
+```
+
+This brings up a connection editor, where you can highlight "IPv4 CONFIGURATION" and change it from `<Automatic>` to `<Manual>`, and then use `<Show>` to show all the settings.
+
+Go through each setting adding in at least an IPv4 address, Gateway, and DNS Server, for example:
+
+![nmtui edit wired eth0 Ethernet connection for static IP address](https://www.jeffgeerling.com/sites/default/files/images/nmtui-edit-wired-eth0-connection-raspberry-pi.jpg)
+
+Then go down to the bottom and select 'OK'.
+
+This saves the static IP configuration, but doesn't _apply_ it immediately. To apply the changes, you need to restart NetworkManager:
+
+```
+$ sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
+
+```
+
+Then if you run `nmcli device show eth0`, you should see the new IP address (the old one might still be attached to the interface at the same time until you reboot):
+
+```
+pi@deskpi1:~ $ nmcli device show eth0
+GENERAL.DEVICE:                         eth0
+...
+IP4.ADDRESS[1]:                         10.0.2.78/24
+IP4.ADDRESS[2]:                         10.0.2.90/24
+
+```
+
+You can also configure a static IP entirely via `nmcli` without using the UI; see [this article on nmcli`](https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-configure-a-static-ip-address-on-rhel-8/) from Cyberciti.biz.
