[SOLVED]Netctl Static ip configuration

[SkyboyLP]

Hey guys i have another question

I want to setup a static ip with netctl so i can access my raspberry pi from the internet via ssh.
There is a example ethernet-static config.
But my issue is that i dont know what all these values mean

Can someone please explain what these mean and how i figure out the values i need to enter?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
Description='A basic static ethernet connection'
Interface=eth0
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
Address=('192.168.0.86/24')
#Routes=('192.168.0.0/24 via 192.168.1.2')
Gateway='192.168.0.1'
DNS=('8.8.8.8' '8.8.4.4')
')

2nd Question pls write how I can setup a static ip with netctl.

If you don't know what those mean, wouldn't it be simpler to use the example dhcp profile, and do:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ip addr')
to find the mac address then set an IP address reservation on your router, if it uses dhcp?

Description - the connection name for logging purposes
Interface - what device to hook
Connection - keep it as ethernet
IP - keep as static
Address - what IP you want the pi to use
Gateway - your router IP
DNS - self-explanatory

Or use networkd
