The document provides instructions for using the 'lshw' command to export hardware configuration information from a virtual machine to files on the host computer. It describes running 'lshw' with no arguments to output all hardware in HTML format to a 'hardware.html' file, and running it with the '-class network' argument to output just network hardware to a 'network.txt' file. Both files are then transferred to the host computer using SFTP to examine the hardware information.

1. sudo Ishw Ishw -help Use Ishw command to export your hardware configuration to a file called
"hardware.html" in HTML format (use the redirection special character " > " to accomplish this).
Important: Transfer this "hardware.html" file out of your VM and into your host computer using
SFTP and examine the file using a web browser. Now try to specify the "class" of hardware in
your VM as a network for the Ishw command and examine the output: sudo lshw - class network
Run the command again and redirect the output of this command to a file called "network.txt"
(DO NOT use HTML format this time). Transfer this "network.txt" file out of your VM and into
your host computer using SFTP and examine the file using a web browser. Task-4: Specifying
DNS to your DHCP-enabled NIC As you may be aware DHCP can provide many settings to the
client. The minimum requirement for a client to be able to connect to a network is IP, Subnet
Mask, and a Gateway (if connecting to an outside
