Linux - _Network Configuration

## Configure the network

1. nmtui

2. nmcli

A) If you don't have any NetworkManager connection:

A.1) Add new NetworkManager connection:

nmcli con add con-name "Exam" ifname eth0 type ethernet ip4 172.25.201.X/24 gw4 172.25.201.254
nmcli con mod "Exam" ipv4.dns "172.25.201.254"
nmcli con mod "Exam" ipv4.method manual
nmcli con mod "Exam" connection.autoconnect yes

A.2) Activate new NetworkManager connection:

nmcli con up "Exam"

A.3) Verify NetorkManager connection and /etc/resolv.conf file:

nmcli con show "Exam"

cat /etc/resolv.conf

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

B) If you already have NetworkManager connection:

B.1) Add another NetworkManager connection:

nmcli con add con-name "Exam" ifname eth0 type ethernet ip4 172.25.201.X/24 gw4 172.25.201.254
nmcli con mod "Exam" ipv4.dns "172.25.201.254"
nmcli con mod "Exam" ipv4.method manual
nmcli con mod "Exam" connection.autoconnect yes

B.1.2) Activate new NetworkManager connection:

nmcli con up "Exam"

B.1.3) Disable old NetworkManager connection to Automatically connect during system start-up:

nmcli con mod "System eth0" connection.autoconnect no

B.1.4) Check NetworkManager connections and verify new NetworkManager connection:

nmcli con show
nmcli con show --active
nmcli con show "Exam"

B.1.5) optional - remove old unwanted NetworkManager connection:

nmcli con del "System eth0"

B.2) Edit already existing NetworkManager connection:

nmcli con mod "System eth0" ip4 172.25.201.X/24
nmcli con mod "System eth0" ipv4.gateway 172.25.201.254
nmcli con mod "System eth0" ipv4.dns "172.25.201.254"
nmcli con mod "System eth0" ipv4.method manual
nmcli con mod "System eth0" connection.autoconnect yes

B.2.1) Activate updated NetworkManager connection:

nmcli con up "System eth0"

B.2.2) Verify updated NetworkManager connection:

nmcli con show "System eth0"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Useful nmcli commands

# To see a list of network devices and their state:

nmcli dev
or
nmcli dev status

# Show detailed information about devices:

nmcli dev show
and
nmcli dev show (device)

# To bring down an interface and temporarily disable autoconnect use command:

nmcli dev dis (device)

# Connect the device

nmcli dev con (device)

# To disable or enable all managed interfaces use command:

nmcli net off
nmcli net on

# To turn off wifi:

nmcli r wifi off

Linux - SSH

# SSH into CLIENT computer:

  ssh username@desktopX

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Now that we are in the CLIENT computer, we do these commands:

  # first we try to log into the SERVER with our password, it should work
    ssh username@serverX
    exit

  # now we generate the key, and copy it onto the server
    ssh-keygen
    ssh-copy-id username@serverX
    
  # then we try to log into the SERVER again, this time it shouldn't ask for password
    ssh username@serverX

Linux - Users & Groups

## Add new user

useradd -m username (-m for the home directory) 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Add new group

– Confguration fles in /etc/httpd/* – Web content in /var/www/html (by default) 
– Server logs in /var/log/httpd/* 
– Executable scripts (cgi-bin, python, php, …) in the web application directories for e.g. /usr/share/owncloud/*
– Documentation in /usr/share/doc/apache (The documentation is available in html format served as a web site) 
– Possible more custom fles/directories
