The recipes we'll be covering in this chapter are as follows:
- Creating a VLAN interface
- Creating a teamed interface
- Creating a bridge
- Configuring IPv4 settings
- Configuring your DNS resolvers
- Configuring static network routes
This chapter will attempt to explain how to use NetworkManager
, which is the default network configuration tool and daemon in RHEL 7. It is a set of tools that makes networking simple and straightforward.
Configuring your network can be hard at times, especially when using the more exotic configuration options in combination with well-known configuration scripts. The NetworkManager
allows you to easily configure your network without needing to edit the configuration files manually.
