Sharing /home/tester directory
root@testing-harness:~# mkdir -p /home/tester root@testing-harness:~# echo '/home/tester 192.168.1.0/24 (crossmnt,ro,root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)' >> /etc/exports
Setup DNS cache and DHCP server
DNSmasq provides two services, either of which can be used independently.
- DNS service
- DHCP service
A local DNS cache can speed up internet browsing because the user's applications will not need to access a domain name server when it looks up a domain name the computer has visited before.

Configure DHCP server for AFT net
To enable the DHCP server of AFT net, you will need to give it a range of IP addresses to hand out. The AFT net server would hand out 92 address starting at 192.168.1.2 and ending at 192.168.1.99.
echo 'dhcp-range=192.168.1.2,192.168.1.99,10m' >> /etc/dnsmasq.conf
To tell dnsmasq which ethernet interface it can and cannot listen on
echo 'interface=eno1' >> /etc/dnsmasq.conf
