Question

182- You have 18 computers on a LAN behind a firewall. Diagram your computers on a sheet of paper. Connect them together in a "star" configuration. Assign a private IP address to each computer. Take one computer and draw a second connection to the Internet. While this is a fairly simple exercise, Linux is built for networking. To understand what you can do with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you need to think in terms of the role of your computer on a network. Describe how to configure the IP addresses on a LAN for this setup.

Explanation

Answers: There are many ways to configure the IP addresses on a LAN. But it is generally best to do it by setting up a network from one of the private IP address ranges. When you configure networking on your LAN, pay particular attention to the computer that also has a connection to the Internet. The IP address of its connection to your network will be the gateway address for every other computer on your LAN. It's also the logical location for any firewall that you may wish to configure.
