To change the virtual machine network configuration settings, follow these steps:
1. Login to the machine as the root user
2. Install the system network configuration TUI
yum install -y system-config-network-tui
3. Run the system network config tool from the command line
system-config-network-tui
The config tool allows you to change the DNS information and network card settings on the virtual machine.
4. Once you've made the appropriate changes in the configuration tool, run these commands from the command line to activate the virtual machine's network card with the updated configuration.
ifdown eth0
ifup eth0
5. You can verify the network settings by using the ifconfig command like this:
ifconfig eth0
That's it!
A quick video that takes you through the process of running the network configuration tool is available below.
Important: If has been observed that sometimes the system-config-network or nmtui tool removes the localhost entries from the /etc/hosts file. In order to fix the issue, edit your /etc/hosts file and make sure there are localhost entries. For example:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 localhost xi-c6x-x64 ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost xi-c6x-x64For more information, review the document below:
