Basic Network Configuration
Configure network interfaces, assign static or dynamic IP addresses, and set up DNS resolvers for server connectivity.
Intro to Network Configuration
Welcome to configuring your server's network! This is how your server communicates with the internet and other devices.
It's a foundational skill for any server administrator, ensuring your applications are reachable and your server can access external resources.
IP Addresses: Server's ID
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique numerical label assigned to each device on a network.
Think of it as your server's street address on the internet, allowing data to be sent to and from the correct machine.
Common versions are IPv4 (e.g., 192.168.1.100) and IPv6 (e.g., 2001:0db8::1).
