Performance Assessment: Configuring the Network Connection, Managing Processes and Resources
In this Performance Assessment, you perform the tasks you have been taught in the Guided Practices. You may use the book, and any notes you have, along with the Linux man pages. You may look at your prior output. You may not give or receive help from other students. You may ask your instructor for assistance, but it is likely to cost points.
Resources Needed
· VMWare Workstation – VMWare Workstation 15 Pro version 15.5.2 is used for the Guided Practice screenshots
· Virtual machine with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installation
· Your user needs to be able to elevate their privileges with sudo (if you followed the installation steps from the Installing Ubuntu Guided Practice this should not be an issue).
Level of Difficulty
Moderate
Deliverables
Each screenshot must be pasted below the question it is answering.

In this performance assessment, you will practice the skills you acquired in one of your Guided Practices this week. Process management can help you with improving performance of a system, and therefore it is important for you to learn how to view running processes and the resources they use, as well as stop these processes when needed.
1. Write the command to see a full listing of every process running on your system. Take a screenshot, and paste it below.
2. Write the command to display the processes running on your system and the amount of resources they are using. Take a screenshot, and paste it below.
3. Start two new gedit processes. Start both processes in the background. Take a screenshot, and paste it below.
4. Issue a command to terminate all running gedit processes. Take a screenshot, and paste it below.
5. Start a new bash process, and then start a new sleep process with the duration of one week. Start the process in the background. Take a screenshot, and paste it below.
6. Kill the most recent bash process. List all processes under the current terminal to verify this happened. Take a screenshot, and paste it below.
7. Change the IPv4 settings of your connection to Static/Manual with an IP address of 10.10.10.10, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and gateway 10.10.10.1. Apply these settings. Take a screenshot of how you changed the settings, and paste it below.
8. Check your IP address from command line. Take a screenshot, and paste it below. Return your settings to DHCP.
9. Test your connectivity to your gateway. Type the command to find the MAC/Hardware address of your gateway. Take a screenshot, and paste it below.
10. Display the RAM usage on your system in MB. Take a screenshot, and paste it below.
