This guide will explain how to setup the internet or network in CentOS, RHEL, and Rocky Linux minimal install. + +Once you install the minimal install of any server distributions, you will not have any GUI or desktop environment to setup your network or internet. Hence it is essential to know how you can setup internet when you only have access to the terminal. The NetworkManager utility provides necessary tools armed with systemd services to do the job. Here’s how. + +### Setup Internet in CentOS, RHEL, Rocky Linux Minimal Install + +* After you have completed the server installation, boot into the server terminal. Ideally, you should be prompted with a terminal. Login using a root or admin account. + +* Firstly, try to check the state of the network interface and details using [nmcli][1]. The `nmcli` is a command-line tool for controlling the NetworkManager service. Use the following command to check. + +``` +nmcli device status +``` + +This would display the device name, status etc. + +![nmcli device status][2] + +* Run the tool `nmtui` to configure the network interface. +* The nmtui is part of the NetworkManager tool, which gives you a friendly UI to configure the network. +* This is part of the `NetworkManager-tui` package and should be installed by default when you have completed the minimal server installation. + +``` +nmtui +``` + +* Click on Edit a connection in the nmtui window. + +![nmtui - Select options][3] + +* Select the interface name + +![Select Interface to Edit][4] + +* In the Edit Connection window, choose Automatic for IPv4 and IPv6. And select Automatically Connect. Press ok once done. + +![nmtui - Edit Connection][5] + +* Restart the NetworkManager service via the [systemd systemctl][6] using the following command. + +``` +systemctl restart NetworkManager +``` + +* If all goes well, you should be connected to the network and internet with minimal installation of CentOS, RHEL, and Rocky Linux servers. Provided your network has internet connectivity. You can use ping to verify whether it is working. + +![setup internet minimal server - CentOS Rocky Linux RHEL][7] + +### Additional Tip: Setup Static IP in minimal server + +When you set the network configuration as automatic, the interface dynamically assigns the IP when you connect to the internet. In some situations where you are setting up a local area network (LAN), you may want to assign static IP to your network interface. It’s super easy. + +Open the network configuration script for your network. Change the highlighted part for your own device. + +``` +vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens3 +``` + +In the above file, add the IP address you desire with the property IPADDR. Save the file. + +``` +IPADDR=192.168.0.55 +``` + +Add the gateway for your network in `/etc/sysconfig/network`. + +``` +NETWORKING=yes +HOSTNAME=debugpoint +GATEWAY=10.1.1.1 +``` + +Add any public DNS server in `resolv.conf` located at `/etc/resolv.conf`. + +nameserver 8.8.8.8nameserver 8.8.4.4 + +And restart the network service. + +``` +systemctl restart NetworkManager +``` + +This will complete the setup of the static IP. You can also check the IP details using `ip addr` command. + +### Wrapping Up + +I hope this guide helps you to setup the network, internet, and static IP in your minimal install server.
