Default dhcp on ArchLinux for Utilite

[pvouzis]

On the installation tab of http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7 ... le/utilite it says that

"The innermost ethernet port (eth0) is configured by default to get an IP via DHCP."

Does this mean that by installing that image the eth0 interface will be DHCP only and by default? Will I be able to switch it to static by a configuration file such as:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 172.30.0.95
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 172.30.0.1')

I have the Utilite Value which has only one interface (eth0) and I am wondering whether I will be able to configure a static IP if I want to?

You won't be able to using Debian network configuration. You need to learn Arch, and specifically look into netctl as that is the default network manager. This is not Debian.

Look at the static example in /etc/netctl/examples
Now edit /etc/netctl/eth0
