Part II Networking #

Linux offers the necessary networking tools and features for integration into all types of network structures. Network access using a network card can be configured with YaST. Manual configuration is also possible. In this chapter, only the fundamental mechanisms and the relevant network configuration files are covered.

This chapter focuses on the difference between NetworkManager and wicked and provides a description how to switch from wicked to NetworkManager.

NetworkManager is shipped so it can run out of the box, but you might need to reconfigure or restart the tool. This chapter focuses on these tasks.
