jump to the shell page of the system , use the administrator account to log in [administrator account: root, password: 123456, the password here is the password set when installing the system], as shown in the figure below: (3) Use the "ifconfig -a" command to insert image description here
view the network card, as shown in the figure below Shown:

ifconfig -a

(4) Use "ifconfig eth0 up to start the network card", and configure the IP address for the network card [the IP address needs to be in the same network segment as the host machine], and verify whether the network is smooth [the host machine IP address is: 192.168.1.2], As shown below:

ifconfig etho up
ip addr add  192.168.1.8/24 dev eth0
ifconfig
ping 192.168.1.2

(5) At this point, the mail server configuration has been completed, and the browser accesses "http://192.168.1.8", and logs in to the administrator account. When logging in, the password and verification code need to be entered for the second time, as shown in the figure below: Administrator
