I am getting the following message after changing dhcp to start with the following settings:

Address 192.168.1.24
network mask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

*Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces
*Reconfiguring network interfaces...

what does deprecated mean? I have searched the blogs and none is helping

  • Use sudo service networking restart or sudo restart networking, because old syntax becomes deprecated which means it comes out of using.

  • @Given To clarify, 'deprecated' in terms of commands means that the referenced command is no longer officially supported and has been replaced with a newer command string. This is usually because script libraries and code has changed to invoke new functions not implemented in the old command string.

  • @Given Yes, enter network 192.168.0.0/24 - this enables access to the entire subnet.

Deprecated means that it's not used anymore instead you can use other commands like:

sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0

replace eth0 with your interface

or 

sudo service network-manager restart
