When I change network from dhcp to static, it will periodically change IP to the dhcp configuration and ignore the configuration of /etc/network/interface.
So I want to remove the dhcp-client, however when I remove it in Ubuntu, I encounter this problem. Can you give me some help ?
$ sudo apt-get remove dhcp-client

this is my interface file content:
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.0.7
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.0.1
# This is an autoconfigured IPv6 interface
iface eth0 inet6 auto
/etc/network/interfaces
and restarting networking, I kept seeing hosts disappear. As I hadn't commissioned the systems, I was able to reboot them, which solved the problem.
