How to change server interface (eth0) IP

Good afternoon,

I've been at this a while and can't find a way to do this.. I've deployed the OVF (ova) of OpenVPN Access Server. It's default to dynamic IP which is fine, however I cannot find a way to change to it static and set an IP... The only thing I can change in configuation/network settings is "Hostname/IP address" but it doesn't seem to be changing the interface address and still doesn't respond on the IP I am setting there....?

Am I missing something obvious??

I've also tried ip addr adr to add the correct IP and then ip addr del to remove the old one, and it reverts...

Thanks,

-Corey

Perfect, this worked! Not sure why I didn't think about netplan... I kept seeing articles referring to /etc/openvpn files, and I don't even have that directory..

Thank you!!
