WIP: Network configuration 9.0 #853
Conversation
* This document is a copy of the current network configuration. I'm editing sections and replacing them with the correct information for 9.0. * The lab for this is using a Virtual Box installed version of Rocky Linux 9.0, as it will more closely emulate a real machine. * NOTE: I know there is a bunch of content here that still needs to be changed.
* forgot to save current changes

| The static IP configuration scheme is very popular on server class systems or networks. | ||
|
|
||
| The dynamic IP approach is popular on home and office networks - or workstation and desktop class systems. The dynamic scheme usually needs _something_ extra that is locally available that can supply proper IP configuration information to requesting workstations and desktops. This _something_ is called the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). |

| Very often, home/office users don't have to worry or know about DHCP. This is because the somebody or something else is automagically taking care of that in the background. The only thing that the end user needs to do is to physically or wirelessly connect to the right network (and of course make sure that their systems are powered on)! |

@SergeCroise Most of the content you are highlighting is from the older document here: https://docs.rockylinux.org/guides/network/basic_network_configuration/, which was copied to start working on this document for Rocky Linux version 9.0. It needs a bunch of changes, and I've not gotten through most of your commented sections as yet. I very much do appreciate you taking a look at this, however, and welcome your feedback once I've completed changing the instructions so that they work for 9.0. If you'd like to help with that effort, I'm totally fine with that too! |
Good catch! Co-authored-by: Serge Croisé <SergeCroise@users.noreply.github.com>
* completed sections * checked spelling and structure * tweaked `ip` section to remove `ifcfg` as this is no-longer relavent for 9 * checked formatting for images and admonitions - OK

@SergeCroise I've completed my changes for version 9. Would you like to take a look at this document now? Please feel free to suggest any changes or make corrections. I'd like you to review the original document, which will be renamed to "Network Configuration - Rocky Linux 8.6" and push any changes to that document that you would like to fix. Some of your earlier comments to this document before it was completed would apply to that document. You can find that here. Thank you very much! |
