Lab 03 ‐ Linux - aaralik1/SYS-255 GitHub Wiki

In today's lab, we had an introduction to Linux and I got to use the DHCP virtual machine. This was a first for me as I have never used DHCP in detail. First of all, DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and it certainly lives up to it's name. Watching the video and following the steps weren't as difficult, however, this lab did require sometime to be spent on it. With the help of this lab, I learned a lot of commands to be used in Linux and their purpose. Here are three that I will be sharing here; /ifdown - This command indicates a stop to the network interface. /nice - This command allows the user to lower the priority of a command. /zcmp - This command makes it possible for a user to compare compressed files.
