Ubuntu Linux Static IP Configuration

I have an Intel Corporation 80003ES2 LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller. How do I set a static IP address settings for my Ubuntu Linux server as follows:
DEVICE name : eth0
Type: static
IP ADDRESS : 10.10.29.66
NETMASK : 255.255.255.192
ROUTER IP: 10.10.29.65
Broadcast: 10.10.29.127
How do I setup a static IP address under a Ubuntu Linux 14.04 or 16.04 LTS server?

Ubuntu Linux server stores all network configuration options in /etc/network/interfaces configuration file. You need to open this file using a text editor such as vi or gedit or nano. In this tutorial you will learn how to assign a static IP to Ubuntu server operating system.

How to set a Static IP in Ubuntu Linux

Open the terminal command line application or ssh into remote server. Type the following command:
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
OR
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
Make the changes as follows:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
 address 10.10.29.66
 netmask 255.255.255.192
 network 10.10.29.65
 broadcast 10.10.29.127
 gateway 10.10.29.65
# Google dns server for our network
 dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

Save and close the file. Restart networking on Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS or older:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
If you are using systemd based Ubuntu Linux version such as 16.04 LTS or above, enter:
$ sudo systemctl restart networking
Here is another configuration from one of my servers:

How do I verify a static IP configuration on Ubuntu?

To see new IP address, enter:
$ sudo ip a show
To see new routing table, enter:
$ sudo ip r
Try to ping a network IP or domain name:
$ ping 8.8.8.8
$ ping satohost.com
Verify dns too:
$ host satohost.com
$ dig google.com

A note about enabling an IPv6 static address on Ubuntu

Edit /etc/network/interfaces file, enter:
$ sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
Append/edit as follows after inet (IPv4) config:

### Start IPV6 static configuration
iface eth0 inet6 static
#pre-up modprobe ipv6
	address 2400:6180:100:d0::7c:c001
	netmask 64
	gateway 2400:6180:100:d0::1
	dns-nameservers 2001:4860:4860::8888 2001:4860:4860::8844 8.8.8.8
### END IPV6 configuration

Restart the networking service:
$ sudo systemctl restart networking
Verify it as described here:
# ifconfig eth0
# ip -6 address show eth0
# ping6 google.com
