h1. Kickstart Static IP

The default kickstart templates that come with Foreman have support for setting a static IP.  

In order to enable that, you need to edit the PXE template and add &static=yes to the

end of each instance of foreman_url('provision'), like in this example below:

<pre>

default linux

label linux

kernel <%= @kernel %>

<% if @host.operatingsystem.name == 'Fedora' and @host.operatingsystem.major.to_i > 16 -%>

append initrd=<%= @initrd %> ks=<%= foreman_url('provision')%>&static=yes ks.device=bootif network ks.sendmac

<% elsif @host.operatingsystem.name != 'Fedora' and @host.operatingsystem.major.to_i >= 7 -%>

append initrd=<%= @initrd %> ks=<%= foreman_url('provision')%>&static=yes network ks.sendmac

<% else -%>

append initrd=<%= @initrd %> ks=<%= foreman_url('provision')%>&static=yes ksdevice=bootif network kssendmac

<% end -%>

IPAPPEND 2

</pre>

There's an open feature request #5458 to make this more user friendly.
