=OPS535 Pre-Lab: Host installation and virtual network setup=
==Overview==
This lab will guide you to set up a lab environment on your local computer hardware. This local resources (host, VMs, and network) we will be used as the staging environment for the labs and assignments of the course. You will note that it does not provide detail instructions on how to go about performing these tasks, as they are all things you should already know from previous courses. If you need to refresh your
memory, you are encouraged to look back at the OPS235 and OPS335 notes.
===Pre-Requisites===
*SELinux is set to enforcing.
*The machine must be fully updated.
*Do install iptables-services on your CentOS virtualization host, but do not install iptables-serviceson guest VMs. In this course we will use both iptables and firewalld as for our firewall.
*Install libvirt and virt-manager. Set the virtualization service to start automatically when the machine boots.
*Reboot your machine
* Leave the default virtual network in place for now. We will replace it in a later lab.
* Create a second virtual network called private.
**Address: 192.168.[x].0/24, where x is determined by adding 100 to the network number NN assigned to you on blackboard. E.g. if your network number is 9, your private network will be 192.168.1099.0/24.
**DHCP disabled.
**Set it as an isolated network. It will only be used for your lab machines to communicate with each other.
