Configuring Network Settings in Linux

IP Address ClassificationIPv4 addresses are categorized into five classes (A through E), although D (multicast) and E (experimental) are rarely configured on standard hosts.Class A: The first octet represents the network (1-127). The loopback address consumes 127.0.0.0/8, leaving 126 valid networks. Each network supports 2^24 - 2 hosts. Default ...

Port Mapping and Container Linking in Docker

Port Mapping When running containers that need to be accessed from outside the host machine—such as a private Docker registry—it's common to use the -p flag. For example: docker run -d -p 5000:5000 -v /opt/data/registry:/tmp/registry registry This maps port 5000 on the host to port 5000 inside the container. Without such a mapping, external sy ...
