→Create a "Cloning Source" VM (335assign Virtual Network)
Create a virtual machine that you will use as a template (i.e. a '''cloning source'''). It should have a command-line interface only. Configure it to be a good cloning source, making certain it has all the following elements prior to cloning:
# Don't make the virtual drive too big: you will need space for it as well as space for the clones you from your cloning source<br>('''2GB''' should be enough for any cloning source and clone VM that you create for this assignment).
# The hostname for this server will be called: '''source'''
# Make certain that you can login to your cloning source.
# Configure your network interface for this cloning-source with a '''static''' configuration. Refer to the table below for IP address and hostname.<br>
