How to configure the network in AlmaLinux?
The network configuration method of AlmaLinux is very similar to that of CentOS and other similar Linux distributions. Here is a common network configuration method:
- Open the terminal and log in as an administrator.
- Open the network configuration file using the following command:
- Edit the configuration file for the network interface eth0 using the nano text editor.
- You can configure the following network settings in the document:
- DEVICE: The name of the network interface (e.g. eth0).
- TYPE: The type of network interface is typically Ethernet.
- BOOTPROTO: Configures the start protocol for the network interface, which can be set as static (for a fixed IP address) or dhcp (for a dynamic IP address).
- IPADDR: Set a static IP address if the startup protocol is static.
- NETMASK: Set the subnet mask if the protocol is set to static.
- If the startup protocol is static, set the default gateway.
- DNS1 and DNS2: Input the IP addresses of the DNS servers.
- Please configure accordingly based on your network requirements.
- After configuring, press Ctrl + X, then press Y to save the file and exit the editor.
- Use the following command to restart the network service in order to apply the configurations:
- Restart the network using systemctl command.
Now, the network configuration for your AlmaLinux system is complete. You can use the ip addr command to check the configuration of network interfaces.
