This post will show the step to set the hostname and configure static IP address to the server. DHCP is not recommended if you plan to run this fedora 20 as a server. By default in Fedora 20, ifconfig command is not installed automatically. You should install net-tools package, it includes ifconfig and netstat.<\/p>\n
ifconfig not installed by default :<\/p>\n
\n[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig\n-bash: ifconfig: command not found\n<\/pre>\n1. Install net-tools, it will include ifconfig :<\/p>\n
\n[root@localhost ~]# yum install net-tools -y\nfedora\/20\/x86_64\/metalink | 8.7 kB 00:00:01\nfedora | 3.8 kB 00:00:01\nupdates\/20\/x86_64\/metalink | 5.0 kB 00:00:00\nupdates | 4.9 kB 00:00:00\n(1\/4): fedora\/20\/x86_64\/group_gz | 394 kB 00:00:37\n(2\/4): updates\/20\/x86_64\/group_gz | 394 kB 00:00:43\n(3\/4): updates\/20\/x86_64\/primary_db | 8.8 MB 00:03:22\n(4\/4): fedora\/20\/x86_64\/primary_db | 18 MB 00:04:35\n(1\/2): updates\/20\/x86_64\/pkgtags | 1.0 MB 00:00:09\n(2\/2): updates\/20\/x86_64\/updateinfo | 920 kB 00:00:18\nResolving Dependencies\n--> Running transaction check\n---> Package net-tools.x86_64 0:2.0-0.15.20131119git.fc20 will be installed\n--> Finished Dependency Resolution\n\nDependencies Resolved\n\n====================================================================================================\n Package Arch Version Repository Size\n====================================================================================================\nInstalling:\n net-tools x86_64 2.0-0.15.20131119git.fc20 fedora 308 k\n\nTransaction Summary\n====================================================================================================\nInstall 1 Package\n\nTotal download size: 308 k\nInstalled size: 937 k\nDownloading packages:\nwarning: \/var\/cache\/yum\/x86_64\/20\/fedora\/packages\/net-tools-2.0-0.15.20131119git.fc20.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA\/SHA256 Signature, key ID 246110c1: NOKEY\nPublic key for net-tools-2.0-0.15.20131119git.fc20.x86_64.rpm is not installed\nnet-tools-2.0-0.15.20131119git.fc20.x86_64.rpm | 308 kB 00:00:10\nRetrieving key from file:\/\/\/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-20-x86_64\nImporting GPG key 0x246110C1:\n Userid : \"Fedora (20)\"\n Fingerprint: c7c9 a9c8 9153 f201 83ce 7cba 2eb1 61fa 2461 10c1\n Package : fedora-release-20-1.noarch (@anaconda)\n From : \/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-20-x86_64\nRunning transaction check\nRunning transaction test\nTransaction test succeeded\nRunning transaction\n Installing : net-tools-2.0-0.15.20131119git.fc20.x86_64 1\/1\n Verifying : net-tools-2.0-0.15.20131119git.fc20.x86_64 1\/1\n\nInstalled:\n net-tools.x86_64 0:2.0-0.15.20131119git.fc20\n\nComplete!\n<\/fedora><\/pre>\n 2. How to set the hostname :<\/p>\n
\n[root@localhost ~]# vi \/etc\/hostname\n<\/pre>\nUpdate to the preferred hostname :<\/p>\n
\nfedora20.ehowstuff.local\n<\/pre>\n3. Verify the interface name. In my case, the auto assigned interface for my ip address was ifcfg-ens32. It could be different from your server :<\/p>\n
\n[root@localhost ~]# ls \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/\nifcfg-ens32 ifdown-isdn ifup-aliases ifup-plip ifup-wireless\nifcfg-lo ifdown-post ifup-bnep ifup-plusb init.ipv6-global\nifdown ifdown-ppp ifup-eth ifup-post network-functions\nifdown-bnep ifdown-routes ifup-ippp ifup-ppp network-functions-ipv6\nifdown-eth ifdown-sit ifup-ipv6 ifup-routes\nifdown-ippp ifdown-tunnel ifup-ipx ifup-sit\nifdown-ipv6 ifup ifup-isdn ifup-tunnel\n<\/pre>\n4. Configure static IP address :<\/p>\n
\n[root@localhost ~]# vi \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/ifcfg-ens32\n<\/pre>\nThe original configuration file :<\/p>\n
\nTYPE=\"Ethernet\"\nBOOTPROTO=\"dhcp\"\nDEFROUTE=\"yes\"\nIPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=\"no\"\nIPV6INIT=\"yes\"\nIPV6_AUTOCONF=\"yes\"\nIPV6_DEFROUTE=\"yes\"\nIPV6_PEERDNS=\"yes\"\nIPV6_PEERROUTES=\"yes\"\nIPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=\"no\"\nNAME=\"ens32\"\nUUID=\"8f3bcce9-631f-4874-a642-c78b2badb94d\"\nONBOOT=\"yes\"\nHWADDR=\"00:0C:29:8C:7B:FE\"\nPEERDNS=\"yes\"\nPEERROUTES=\"yes\"\n<\/pre>\nChange to below :<\/p>\n

Disable network manager and use the simple network service :<\/p>\n
\n[root@localhost ~]# systemctl disable NetworkManager.service\nrm '\/etc\/systemd\/system\/dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service'\nrm '\/etc\/systemd\/system\/dbus-org.freedesktop.nm-dispatcher.service'\nrm '\/etc\/systemd\/system\/multi-user.target.wants\/NetworkManager.service'\n<\/pre>\n\n[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start network.service\n[root@localhost ~]# chkconfig network on\n<\/pre>\n6. Reboot server :<\/p>\n
\n[root@localhost ~]# reboot\n<\/pre>\n7. Once rebooted, verify the updated hostname and ip address :<\/p>\n
