$ sudo nano /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml

Then replace your configuration, for example, the following lines:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# For more information, see netplan(5).
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    ens160:
     dhcp4: no
     addresses: [192.168.1.137/24]
     gateway4: 192.168.1.1
     nameservers:
       addresses: [8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4]

Apply changes:

$ sudo netplan apply

In case you run into some issues execute:

$ sudo netplan --debug apply

[NOTE]:

  • /24 is equivalent with 255.255.255.0
  • ens160 is your ethernet name, you can get it using $ ifconfig
  • Ubuntu 16.04 and 14.04 network-interface configuration have a different method.
  • The file is in YAML format: Use spaces, no tabs.
