Managing Basic Networking on RHEL 8

In order to be useful to remote clients, network connectivity is an important part of a RHEL 8 system. Over the life of a RHEL 8 system, the need to configure, reconfigure and troubleshoot network connections is a critical skill for system administrators. In this hands-on lab, we will configure IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, configure hostname resolution, configure network services to start automatically at boot, and ensure Network Interface Cards are set to be available on boot. *This course is not approved or sponsored by Red Hat.*
