Sir, In both cases i can configure the static IP. But for first method that is by using dhcpcd file, static IP is assigned only when a device is connected to the port. I used ifconfig to view the IP but inet addrs is not shown until i connected my laptop to eth1 port of Rpi.
But this problem is not present in the second method. In the second method, i have already disabled the dhcpcd by sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd. Static IP is assigned to eth1 port even if i haven't connected my laptop.
Using the nolink option might work but it seems illogical to want to use the dhcp client to set a static IP address instead of the interfaces file.
Please see the default /etc/network/interfaces file in the Stretch OS.
Quote:
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd
# For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf'
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
Here mentioned that for setting static IPs consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf. If it is illogical why the official document inform us to consult dhcpcd.conf for static IPs.
