Reach Internet

[P1c1s]

Hi, I am using Kathará for a networking course at Roma 3 University. I was wondering if it was possible to create a network scenario where i can to reach the internet, for example make a ping to Google (8.8.8.8).
Thanks advanced.

Hi @P1c1s,

Thanks for reaching out!

Yes, it is possible to connect a device to the host network using the bridged option.

From the man pages:

"This option connects the device to the host network by adding an additional network interface. This interface will be connected to the host network through a NAT connection."

For example, if you have a device called pc1, you can modify the lab.conf file as follows:

pc1[0]="A"
pc1[bridged]="true"

When you start pc1, an additional interface (in this case eth1) will appear. This interface connects to the host network, enabling the device to access the Internet. Additionally, the device will automatically be configured to add a default route through the host network.

Note: Ensure the /etc/resolv.conf file is configured correctly with a nameserver, if you want to use DNS resolution.

Please let me know if this helps!

Thanks!
