Assigning a new IP Address with a linux guest
Posted: 8. Jun 2021, 11:36
Hello everyone
Sorry if this is a really dumb question but I am really new to networking.
I have a few different windows VMs connected to a Windows host, I have set a new NAT Network and one of my guests is a Linux RHEL8 machine.
My problem is that I do not know how to reassign the IP address in this guest as when I launch it, it gives the same IP address as one of my windows machines.
I did some reading and I did see that I need to use the ifconfig command although I do not know how to locate the local host machine name?
From what i can see is that i need to use something like this "$ ifconfig <interface_name> <ip_address> netmask <netmask_address>"
So i know how to locate everything except the <interface_name>
Many thanks in advance and please be gentle as this is my first post
