Summary


In this module (Modul 29), you gained insights into:

Network Devices and Configuration:
Understanding the principles and methods for configuring network devices on a Linux system.

Network Devices:
Exploring the various network devices that facilitate communication on a Linux system.

ip:
Learning about the ip command and its usage for configuring network interfaces, routes, and more.

Using ip: Examples:
Exploring practical examples of using the ip command for network configuration.

ifconfig:
Understanding the legacy ifconfig command and its role in configuring network interfaces.

Predictable Network Interface Device Names:
Exploring the concept of predictable network interface device names, providing consistent and recognizable names for network devices.

NIC Configuration Files:
Learning about the configuration files associated with network interface cards (NICs) and their settings.

Network Manager:
Introduction to Network Manager, a tool for managing network connections on Linux systems.

Network Manager Interfaces:

Routing:
Learning about routing, the process of determining the path that network packets should take.

Default Route:
Understanding the concept of a default route, which specifies the path for packets that do not match any specific route.

Static Routes:
Exploring the configuration of static routes, which define specific paths for network traffic.

Name Resolution:
Understanding name resolution, the process of mapping human-readable names to IP addresses.

/etc/hosts:
Learning about the /etc/hosts file, which maps hostnames to IP addresses locally.

DNS:
Exploring the Domain Name System (DNS) as a centralized system for translating domain names to IP addresses.

Network Diagnostics:
Understanding diagnostic tools and techniques for troubleshooting network issues.
