+**Debian Specific Static IP Address Setup**
+
+Get the interface name by looking at 
+
+```
+ip a
+```
+
+Example - here the interface we are targeting is enp1s0
+
+```
+~$ ip a

+
+We will be updated the interfaces file int he networking dir.  
+Before we do anything we always make a backup copy 
+
+```
+sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.bak
+```
+
+looking at the interface file its shows that the interface is set to dynamic
+
+** Orginal interface file
+
+```
+# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
+# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
+
+source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
+
+# The loopback network interface
+auto lo
+iface lo inet loopback
+
+# The primary network interface
+allow-hotplug enp1s0
+iface enp1s0 inet dhcp
+# This is an autoconfigured IPv6 interface
+iface enp1s0 inet6 auto
+```
+
+We will update the ***face enp1s0 inet dhcp***
+
+section to look like this 
+
+Example of updated file
+```
+# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
+# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
+
+source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
+
+# The loopback network interface
+auto lo
+iface lo inet loopback
+
+# The primary network interface
+allow-hotplug enp1s0
+iface enp1s0 inet static
+    address 192.168.50.20
+    netmask 255.255.255.0
+    gateway 192.168.50.254
+    dns-nameservers 192.168.50.254 8.8.8.8
+# This is an autoconfigured IPv6 interface
+iface enp1s0 inet6 auto
+```
+
+After you have made this edit you can restart the service to get the new IP address
+
+```

+
+The network is now available via the updated ip address... HOWEVER did you see the old IP is still there?
+
+```
+inet 192.168.50.80/24 brd 192.168.50.255 scope global secondary dynamic noprefixroute enp1s0
+       valid_lft 86372sec preferred_lft 75572sec
+```
+
+Easiest way of dealing with this... 
+
+```
+sudo reboot
+
+```
+
+And when the machine comes back up, ssh using the newly statically assigned IP address.

+**Setup Hostname**
+
+Log into the hostname (ssh)
+
+Run the following command
+
+```
+sudo hostnamectl set-hostname NewHostName
+```
+
+Also need to update the hosts name
+
+```
+sudo vi /etc/hosts
+```
+
+***Example of old host file***
+
+```
+127.0.0.1       localhost
+127.0.1.1       old-hostname.vocus.co.nz old-hostname
+
+# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
+::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
+ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
+ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
+```
+
+***Example of updated host***
+
+```
+127.0.0.1       localhost
+127.0.1.1       New-hostname.vocus.co.nz New-hostname
+
+# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
+::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
+ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
+ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
+
+```
+
+While hostnamectl typically applies the changes immediately, some services or applications might still be referencing the old hostname. You can restart network services or reboot the system for a complete refresh, although often it's not strictly necessary.
+To restart network services:
+
+```
+sudo systemctl restart network-online.target
+```
+
+or just reboot
+
+```
+Sudo Reboot
+```
