RHEL 7 Network Configuration
Scenario: we have a RHEL 7 server where no ip configured. We
need to configure ip and name resolution.
Solution:
Configuring IP Network:
1. At first we need to know network interface names and device
status
2. Then we need to create new connections

3. Our connection is up automatically if connection is not up

automatically we need to input this command
Nmcli connection up connection name
4. Now we can see the active connection

5. Now ping from the other server

Configuring Host names
To set Host name we need to enter hostnamectl command

Now view the hostname

Configuring Name Resolution
1. To configure name resolution we need to edit /etc/hosts
file

2. Then we need to write IP addresses and host names in

/etc/hosts file and save
3. Now ping other server using host name

Note: 1. we need to dns server name resolution for large amount of

server and client. For small amount of server and client name resolution
we can use /etc/hosts method.
 Copy Files with SCP
The scp command transfers files from a remote host to the
local system or from the local system to a remote host. It
utilizes the ssh server for authentication and encrypted data
transfer.
1. At first we need to generate ssh key
2. Then we need to copy ssh key for remote hosts user

3. Now we need to copy soft folder using scp

Transfer Files with sftp
1. At First we need to generate ssh key and copy ssh key to
remote hosts user for sftp.we do it before. Now connect to
the other server using sftp
2. Now download the remote file named initramfs from the
remote host .
