=== Part 3: Configuring VM Network Setup via Command Line ('''centos3''') ===
[[Image:network-config.png|thumb|right|350px|Although you can use the '''ifconfig ''' command to temporarily create a static IP address connection to a network, you need to add the network settings in the '''/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts''' directory to automatically connect to the network upon Linux system boot-up.]]
Our centos3 VM is a '''text-based only''' system, thus we cannot use a graphical tool to configure centos3 to connect to our private network. Therefore we will learn how to perform this task by using command-line tools.
