I run networkmanager together with cockpit on Debian Buster. I have one physical interface and three VLANs on top of it. All of them are configured to have static IPs (ipv4.method: manual). However, on top of the configured static IP (without gateway I must say), the interface ALWAYS receives an additional IP via DHCP. How can I prevent this from happening?

UPDATE

I followed the advice of not using network manager but I still receive a DHCP address on top of my statically configured IP. My config is like this:

#/etc/network/interfaces
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug ens192
iface ens192 inet static
  address 10.29.10.253/24
  gateway 10.29.10.254

auto ens192.21
iface ens192.21 inet static
  address 10.29.21.253/24

And the result looks like this

# ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

    inet6 fe80::20c:29ff:fe92:adb/64 scope link

I am not familiar wirh cockpit (probably something similar to webmin). In most cases the NetworkManager is not recomended for server, it is more suitable for workstation with GUI. So the primary advice is to uninstall NetworkManager. But in that case you have to install the ifupdown package, to be able to configure the interfaces.

If NetworkManager in use, you may configure it to ignore an interface as described here .
