Configure Fedora

Disable SELinux

Use the /usr/sbin/getenforce or /usr/sbin/sestatus commands to check the status of SELinux

$ /usr/sbin/getenforce
Enforcing

or

$ /usr/sbin/sestatus
SELinux status:                 enabled
SELinuxfs mount:                /selinux
Current mode:                   enforcing
Mode from config file:          enforcing
Policy version:                 23
Policy from config file:        targeted

Change SELINUX to disabled in /etc/selinux/config

sudo vi /etc/selinux/config
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#       enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#       permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#       disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=enforcing
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
#       targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
#       mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

sudo reboot

Assign static IP address

Choose the network link to change

ifconfig -a

Easiest method is to use the command line!

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<linkname>
