Answer 1

to assign ip address

ifconfig <interface_name> <ip_address> netmask <netmask_address>

$ ifconfig enp0s3 192.168.4.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

$ ifconfig enp0s3 192.168.4.5 netmask 255.255.255.0

to change network adapter settings in virtualbox it should be done manullay under network tab

to check ip address " $ ip addr show "

command to test connectivity from server to client

ping -c 1 hostname

we can get hostname by using command : hostname

to display routing table information

$ netstat -r

to connect to server we can use ssh

$ ssh 192.168.4.2

trace host from client to server

$ tracert 192.168.4.2

ifconfig is used to enbale and disable network adapter
