How to configure network settings on Fedora?

Configuring network settings on Fedora can be done through the NetworkManager tool, which is the default network management utility on Fedora. Here’s how you can configure network settings:

1. Access Network Settings:

   • Click on the network icon in the top right corner of your screen.
   • Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.

2. Edit Connection:

   • In the Network Settings window, you will see a list of active connections.
   • Click on the connection you want to configure (e.g., Wired or Wireless).
   • Click on the gear icon or "Edit" button.

3. Configure IP Address:

   • Under the IPv4 Settings tab, you can configure your IP address settings.
   • You can choose between "Automatic (DHCP)" which automatically gets an IP address from a DHCP server, or "Manual" to set a static IP address.
   • If you select "Manual", you will need to enter the IP address, netmask, gateway, and DNS servers.

4. Save Changes:

   • After making your changes, click "Apply" to save the settings.

Example:
If you want to set a static IP address for your wired connection:

• Go to Network Settings.
• Edit the Wired connection.
• Under IPv4 Settings, switch to "Manual".
• Enter the IP address as 192.168.1.100, netmask as 255.255.255.0, gateway as 192.168.1.1, and DNS servers as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
• Click Apply.

For cloud-related networking configurations, especially if you are managing servers or deploying applications, services like Tencent Cloud offer robust network management features. For instance, Tencent Cloud's Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) allows you to create isolated virtual networks, configure subnets, route tables, and security groups, providing a flexible and secure network environment for your applications.
