Linux Network Administration - Enabling Internet in Linux

This video tutorial covers the basics of networking in a Linux environment, focusing on configuring VirtualBox to allow network access. It guides viewers through changing network settings to a bridge adapter, testing the connection using the ping command, and verifying the IP address after rebooting the virtual machine. The tutorial ensures that the machine is ready for online activities, such as downloading and installing packages.

What is the purpose of changing the network adapter to a Bridged adapter in VirtualBox?

• To increase the virtual machine's processing power

• To enable wireless connectivity for the virtual machine

• To allow the virtual machine to access the network through the host machine

• To isolate the virtual machine from the host network

Which command is used to test network connectivity in the virtual machine?

• ping

• ifconfig

• netstat

• traceroute

What should you do if the ping command indicates that the service is not available?

• Reboot the virtual machine

• Disable the firewall

• Change the network adapter settings again

• Reinstall the operating system

After rebooting the virtual machine, which command helps verify the new IP address?

• ifconfig

• route

• ping

• ipconfig

What does a successful ping response indicate about the virtual machine?

• It is ready for online activities

• It needs further configuration

• It has no network access

• It is offline
