NETWORKING_IPV6="no"

DOMAINNAME=domain.net

3. Look for “HOSTNAME=host.domain.net”, and change to your desire hostname and save the file. Take note on the “hostname” format. It must be fully qualified domain name (FQDN).

4. Next, edit “/etc/hosts” file by issuing the following command

nano /etc/host

The example output as below,
