Setting a Static IP address with Raspbian Jessie Lite on the Raspberry Pi

`dhcpcd` method

Edit /etc/dhcpcd.conf as follows:

Here is an example which configures a static address, routes and dns.

interface eth0 
static ip_address=10.1.1.30/24 
static routers=10.1.1.1 
static domain_name_servers=10.1.1.1 

interface wlan0 
static ip_address=10.1.1.31/24 
static routers=10.1.1.1 
static domain_name_servers=10.1.1.1

`ip_address` is the address and size from the command above (or another unused address on the same network), 
 `routers` is the address of your router (or gateway), 
`domain_name_servers` is the DNS address(es) from /etc/resolv.conf. (see man dhcpcd.conf).

There is a good article on dhcpcd at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/dhcpcd The Fallback profile is an alternative to static IP.
