→Investigation 2: Virtual Network and Machine Installation
==Investigation 1: Host Installation==
Install Centos on your host machine following the guidelines belwobelow:
*Networking Should be on.
*Set the hostname of the machine to be host.<domainname>.ops. Check blackboard for your assigned domain name.
Make sure your machine meets the following conditions:
*Your NIC is set to automatically turn on when the machine does.
<!--*Add a virtual interface to your existing one. Give it the static address 172.16.[x].1/16, where x is the network number on blackboard.-->
*SELinux is set to enforcing.
*The machine must be fully updated.
**Address: 192.168.[x].0/24, where x is determined by adding 100 to the network number on blackboard. E.g. if your network number is 9, your private network will be 192.168.109.0/24.
**DHCP disabled.
**Set it as an isolated network. It will only be used for your lab machines to communicate with each other.
*Install a new vm using the same Centos release as the host machine.
**You may wish to provide the VM access to more than 1 CPU and 1 GiB of RAM so it installs and updates faster.
**The VM should now have two network interfaces, one connected to each virtual network.
**During the installation process:
***Set the hostname to vm1.lab.<yourdomain>.ops, using the same domain name as the host machine.
***Configure the interface connected to your default network to use DHCP addressing, and ensure it will automatically turn on when the machine boots.
***Configure the interface connected to the private network to use the static address 192.168.[x].53, using the same x network number assigned to that virtual network. Do not provide this interface with a gateway.
*Shut down your VM, make sure the resource settings are reduced back to 1 CPU and 1 GiB of RAM.
*Clone the VM twice to create vm2, and vm3, setting their private addresses to 192.168.[x].2/24 and 192.168.[x].3/24 respectively.
**Be sure to update their hostnames too.
