This lab is very much under construction. Please do not start it until this warning is removed.
Objectives
- Use the Fedora GUI program to configure network interfaces with static IP configuration and host name resolution
- Use the
findcommand to locate the configuration files modified by the GUI network configuration program - To examine some of the Linux's TCP/IP configuration files in the
/etc/directory - To configure a Fedora host with static network configuration without a GUI tool
- To use and interpret the
netstatcommand to troubleshoot and monitor network services - To configure the linux firewall
iptablesto allow/disallow/forward different types of network traffic using simple rules
Reference
- man pages for find, ifconfig, ping, netstat, NetworkManager, nslookup, iptables, arp
- Online reading material for week 8.
Required materials
- Fedora 12 Live CD or a classmate on the same pod
- USB flash drive, 64 MB or more in size (Warning: the contents of this drive will be erased)
- One SATA hard disk in a removable drive tray with Fedora host and 3 Fedora Virtual Machines installed
Current Configuration
Currently you should have the following network configuration:
- Fedora host has 1 active network interface (probably
eth0)that receives IP configuration from the School's DHCP server. - Fedora host has 1 active network interface (
virbr0) that has a static default configuration of 192.168.122.1/255.255.255.0 - Fedora1 VM has 1 active interface (
eth0) that receives a dynamic configuration from your Fedora Host - Fedora2 VM has 1 active interface (
eth0) that receives a dynamic configuration from your Fedora Host - Fedora3 VM has 1 active interface (
eth0) that receives a dynamic configuration from your Fedora Host
