    Configure Static IPs

    nmcli con

    In your career you will need to work with a variety of hardware and device names. In this lab, for this generation of hardware, the network interface DEVICE will normally be eth0. If you observe a different interface DEVICE id for the primary interface adjust the scripts to make use of that DEVICE id.

    nmcli con mod System\ eth0 ipv4.method manual ipv4.addresses 10.0.1.10/24 ipv4.gateway 10.0.1.1 ipv4.dns 10.0.0.2 ipv4.dns-search ec2.internal

    Verify That the Address Is Now Set Manually, Not Dynamically

    nmcli con show System\ eth0 | grep ipv4

  3. Challenge
