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:
Understanding the interfaces provided by Network Manager for configuring network settings.
nmtui:

, a command-line client for Network Manager, providing a powerful interface for network configuration.
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.
Lab 28.1: Static Configuration of a Network Interface:
