Connecting to the Network
This document outlines the steps for connecting your Slingshot Linux VM to a local network. Follow these steps to configure your class VM anytime you need internet access.
Connecting Slingshot Linux to the Network
Log in to Slingshot Linux and open a terminal. From the terminal, run the connect-net command, as shown here:
sec504@slingshot:~$ connect-net Connected. Done.
Next, test your internet connection using the ping command, as shown here:
sec504@slingshot:~$ ping -c 3 one.one.one.one PING one.one.one.one (1.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from one.one.one.one (1.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=18.5 ms 64 bytes from one.one.one.one (1.0.0.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=19.8 ms 64 bytes from one.one.one.one (1.0.0.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=128 time=22.5 ms --- one.one.one.one ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2005ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 18.546/20.317/22.576/1.684 ms sec504@slingshot:~$
