This may end up being a bit of open ended discussion. I'm trying to build an OL8 server under VirtualBox. I've built many OL5 and OL6, but this is my first OL8 and the networking has changed.
First, in creating the VM, I gave it two network adapters. The first is NAT, and the second is BRIDGED. In the past I've always configured 1 NAT and one HOSTONLY, but now I want to try a BRIDGED adapter so that I can reach the server from any other PC on my home network.
The bridged adapter is identified in the VM config as 'wlp3s0'. But I don't see a way to map that to a config file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. It seems that in the older versions of OL, the individual network script file had a parm for mac address that I could map back to the vm config, but now, not.
Also, given a particular file (assumed for the bridged adapter) that needs to be converted from DHCP to fixed IP:
(Sorry for the print screen. I'm not far enough along on the config of this vm to get to a text copy)
Comparing that with configuring for a fixed IP address (Oracle Linux 8 Setting up Networking) I see some parameters in my file that are not in the example:
BROWSER_ONLY
IPV6_AUTOCONF
IPV6_DEFROUTE
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL
IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE
And some in the example that are not in my default:
NM_CONTROLLED
USERCTL
TYPE
HWADDR
IPADDR
NETMASK
BROADCAST
PEERDNS
PEERROUTES
I'm guessing I can probably drop the existing "extra" IPV6 parms, and know that I'll need to add IPADDR, NETMASK, and perhaps BROADCAST, as well as change BOOTPROTO, but what of the others given in the example but not in my file?
