All right, let me show you NMTUI, the Network Managed Text User Interface.
What do we need to do?
Well, first, you edit the connection.
And look at that.
It has picked up the connection that I have just added.
I'm not going to add a new connection, or I'm going to edit my current connection, ENS160.
So that's what I want to edit.
And I'm using my arrow keys, and then I go to IPv4 configuration, which is set to automatic.
I'm going to set it to manual, because I want to show you how to set a manual configured
IP address.
So my address is going to be, and, oops, I need to press Enter to add my address.
That makes sense, 192.168.29.100.24.
And then I'm using my tab key to go to the gateway, 192.168.29.2.
You normally also need a DNS server.
192.168.29.2 would be the DNS server.
In case you are wondering, how am I ever going to know that on the exam?
Well, on the exam, if you need to do anything with your network configuration, they tell
you about it.
They will tell you which address, which gateway, which DNS server to use, because it can't
be expected that you can guess it for yourself.
Then one more thing, and that is this option automatically connect that is highlighted
right here.
Make sure that it is on, because if it is not, well, you get nothing.
And if you use IPA and you don't see an IP address, this automatically connect option
is the first thing to check.
Now I'm clicking OK to save and back to go back, but I've now written the new configuration.
And in Linux in general, if you write new configuration, it is not automatically picked
up.
If I want it to be picked up, I need to go to activate the connection.
So I'm using activate, and first I'm deactivating, and then I'm activating.
And now my connection should be operational.
So I'm using back, I'm using quit, and I'm using IPA, and there I verify that my manually
assigned IP address is working.
And hey, can we still ping Google?
Yeah, we can still ping Google, so all is good.
