Part 1 (on Node1 Server)

Task 1 [Managing Networking]

Please create new network connection with existing interface (enp1s0) using provided values:

IPv4: 172.25.X.10/255.255.255.0 (where X is your domain number: Domain15)

Gateway: 172.25.X.2

DNS server: 172.25.X.2

Add the following secondary IP addresses statically to your current running connection. Do this in a way that does not compromise your existing settings:

IPv4: 10.0.0.5/24 and set the hostname node1.domain15.example.com

AExplanation:
*
[root@node1 ~]# nmcli connection show
[root@node1 ~]# nmcli connection add con-name static ifname enp1s0 type ethernet ipv4.addresses 172.25.15.10/24 ipv4.gateway 172.25.15.2 ipv4.dns 172.25.15.2
[root@node1 ~]# nmcli connection modify static ipv4.method manual connection.autoconnect yes
[root@node1 ~]# nmcli connection modify static +ipv4.addresses 10.0.0.5/24
[root@node1 ~]# nmcli connection up static
[root@node1 ~]# nmcli connection show
[root@node1 ~]# hostnamectl set-hostname node1.domain15.example.com
[root@node1 ~]# hostnamectl status
[root@node1 ~]# nmcli connection down static
*
[root@node1 ~]# nmcli connection up static
[root@node1 ~]# ip addr show
[root@node1 ~]# reboot
### For checking ###
[root@node1 ~]# ip addr show
[root@node1 ~]# netstat -nr

The step-by-step instructions look clear, but I'd double-check the `ipv4.addresses` parameter to make sure the subnet mask is correct.

Haha, the `reboot` command at the end made me chuckle. Gotta love those good old-fashioned server reboots!

Wait, why do we need to set the hostname after configuring the network? Shouldn't that be a separate task?

Hmm, the secondary IP address addition seems a bit tricky. I'll need to review the `nmcli connection modify` command to make sure I'm doing that correctly.

If you're still having trouble, you can always reboot the server to apply the changes.

You can check if the secondary IP address was added successfully by using `ip addr show`.

After adding the secondary IP address, don't forget to bring the connection up with `nmcli connection up static`.

This looks like a pretty straightforward networking task. I think the key is to use the `nmcli` tool to configure the network connection with the specified IP addresses, gateway, and DNS server.
