From workstation, run the lab net-edit start command. The command runs a start script that determine if the hosts, servera and serverb, are reachable on the network.

[student@workstation ~]$ lab net-edit start

Use the ssh command to log in to servera as the student user. The systems are configured to use SSH keys for authentication, so a password is not required to log in to servera.
```
[student@workstation ~]$ ssh student@servera
...output omitted...
[student@servera ~]$ 
```
Locate network interface names.
Important
Network interface names are determined by their bus type and the detection order of devices during boot. Your network interface names will vary according to the course platform and hardware in use.
On your system now, locate the interface name (such as ens06 or en1p2) associated with the Ethernet address 52:54:00:00:fa:0a. Use this interface name to replace the enX placeholder used throughout this exercise.
Locate the network interface name associated with the Ethernet address 52:54:00:00:fa:0a. Record or remember this name and use it to replace the enX placeholder in subsequent commands. The active connection is also named Wired connection 1 (and therefore is managed by the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Wired_connection_1).
If you have done previous exercises in this chapter and this was true for your system, it should be true for this exercise as well.
```
[student@servera ~]$ ip link

[student@servera ~]$ nmcli con show --active

[student@servera ~]$ ls \
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Wired_connection_1
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Wired_connection_1
```
On servera, switch to the root user, and then edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Wired_connection_1 file to add an additional address of 10.0.1.1/24.
1. Use the sudo -i command to switch to the root user. The password for the student user is student.
```
[student@servera ~]$ sudo -i
[sudo] password for student: student
[root@servera ~]# 
```
2. Append an entry to the file to specify the IPv4 address.
```
[root@servera ~]# echo \
"IPADDR1=10.0.1.1" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Wired_connection_1
```
3. Append an entry to the file to specify the network prefix.
```
[root@servera ~]# echo \
"PREFIX1=24" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Wired_connection_1
```

Activate the new address.

Reload the configuration changes.
```
[root@servera ~]# nmcli con reload
```

Restart the connection with the new settings.

[root@servera ~]# nmcli con up "Wired connection 1"
Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/3)

Verify the new IP address.

[root@servera ~]# ip addr show enX
2: enX: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 52:54:00:00:fa:0a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    inet6 fe80::4bf3:e1d9:3076:f8d7/64 scope link noprefixroute
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Exit from servera to return to workstation as the student user.

[root@servera ~]# exit
logout
[student@servera ~]$ exit
logout
Connection to servera closed.
[student@workstation ~]$

On serverb, edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Wired_connection_1 file to add an additional address of 10.0.1.2/24, then load the new configuration.

From workstation, use the ssh command to log in to serverb as the student user.

[student@workstation ~]$ ssh student@serverb
...output omitted...
[student@serverb ~]$

Use the sudo -i command to switch to the root user. The password for the student user is student.
```
[student@serverb ~]$ sudo -i
[sudo] password for student: student
[root@serverb ~]# 
```

Modify the ifcfg-Wired_connection_1 file to add the second IPv4 address and network prefix.

[root@serverb ~]# echo \
"IPADDR1=10.0.1.2" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Wired_connection_1
[root@serverb ~]# echo \
"PREFIX1=24" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Wired_connection_1

Reload the configuration changes.
```
[root@serverb ~]# nmcli con reload
```

Bring up the connection with the new settings.

[root@serverb ~]# nmcli con up "Wired connection 1"
Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/4)

Verify the new IP address.

[root@serverb ~]# ip addr show enX
2: enX: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 52:54:00:00:fa:0b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    inet6 fe80::74c:3476:4113:463f/64 scope link noprefixroute
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Test connectivity using the new network addresses.

From serverb, ping the new address of servera.

[root@serverb ~]# ping -c3 10.0.1.1

Exit from serverb to return to workstation.

[root@serverb ~]# exit
logout
[student@serverb ~]$ exit
logout
Connection to serverb closed.
[student@workstation ~]$

From workstation, use the ssh command to access servera as the student user to ping the new address of serverb.

[student@workstation ~]$ ssh student@servera ping -c3 10.0.1.2
PING 10.0.1.2 (10.0.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data.

RH124 Chapter 15 Lab 3: Install zsh Package

VictoriaB97

16 sty 2024

Hello,I am trying to finish up Lab 3 of the Chapter 15 Comprehensive Review Labs in RH124, and when I type in sudo dnf install zsh for the 6th specification of the lab, I get an error message basically saying that it failed to download metadata for the repo 'ansible-2.9-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms', and that they could not download repomd.xml. It provided a 404 status code.Can someone please let me know what the problem is, and if there is a current workaround? Thanks.
