How to set static IP on command line or adb shell?

Question

I can't seem to use netcfg on Nougat. If I use ifconfig ip is not updating.
If there is another method to change IP on command line or adb shell, I am all ears.

Answer 1

You can try using ip command.

How it compares to ifconfig

Edit: To set up an IP address you can use:

ip address add 192.168.0.77 dev eth0

or the long form

ip addr add 192.168.0.77/24 broadcast 192.168.0.255 dev eth0

look up current config using

ip addr show

Answer 2

In you terminal, run these commands:

adb root 
adb shell
$ ifconfig eth0 192.168.138.2  # to fix your address 
$ netcfg  # show address
