2. Set the IP address to 192.168.1.100/24
3. Set the default gateway to 192.168.1.1
4. Configure DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
5. Set the system hostname to 'prod-web01.example.com'
6. Restart the network connection to apply changes
7. Verify all configurations are correct

Requirements

• Use nmcli for network configuration
• Set proper IP addressing
• Configure DNS servers
• Set hostname correctly
• Verify connectivity after changes
