Before you make changes to the network, you need to back up the original KVM host interface configuration files. This example assumes that the interface configuration files are named ifcfg-eno1, ifcfg-eno2, ifcfg-eno3, and ifcfg-eno4.

  1. Enter the following command to open the network-scripts folder:
    cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
  2. Enter the following command to look inside the folder:
    ls
  3. Verify that the folder contains the interface configuration files.
  4. Enter the following command to create a backup of the interface configuration files in your root folder:
    cp ifcfg-eno* /root/
  5. Enter the following command to list the contents of the root folder:
    ls /root
  6. Verify that the root folder contains the four copied interface configuration files.
