I thought ifconfig was outdated for most tasks, is it still relevant?

Refugia 12 months ago

Nope, specifying kernel modules isn't a thing with ifconfig.

Quinn 12 months ago

Wait, can regular users really change network settings with ifconfig?

Domonique 12 months ago

I agree, changing the netmask is also a valid use!

Huey 1 year ago

You can definitely set a network interface active or inactive.

I feel like I’ve seen similar questions, and I think A and D are the best choices here.

I’m a bit confused; I thought ifconfig could allow regular users to change settings, but maybe that’s not right?

I remember practicing with ifconfig, and I feel like option D about changing the netmask is correct too.

I think option A is definitely something ifconfig can do, but I'm not so sure about the second one.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. I know Apache uses OpenSSL for SSL/TLS, but I'm not sure which specific tool is used to generate the CSR.

Ah, I think I've got it. The Request Rationalization component must be responsible for breaking down and routing the requests to the appropriate fulfillment engines. That makes the most sense to me.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the best approach here. Should I put each client's data in a separate table or just restrict access to their dataset? I'll need to think this through carefully.

I think the key here is deciding whether to use a single fabric domain or separate ones for each site. And then the choice of underlay network - traditional or SD-WAN. Let me work through the pros and cons of each.
