The issue is caused by the lack of a default route defined in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s3 file. A default route is a special route that specifies where to send packets that do not match any other routes in the routing table. Without a default route, the server will not be able to communicate with hosts outside its local network. The default route is usually configured with the GATEWAY option in the network interface configuration file. For example, to set the default gateway to 192.168.1.1, the file should contain:

GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

The other options are not causing the issue. The DNS address is not commented out in the configuration file, it is specified with the DNS1 option. The search entry in the /etc/resolv.conf file is correct, it specifies the domain name to append to unqualified hostnames. Wired connection 1 is online, as indicated by the ONBOOT=yes option and the output of ip link show enp0s3 command. References: Configuring IP Networking with nmcli; Configuring IP Networking with ifcfg Files

 The command docker images prune -a will help to remove all dangling images and delete all the images that do not have an associated container. The docker command is a tool for managing Docker containers and images. The images subcommand operates on images. The prune option removes unused images. The -a option removes all images, not just dangling ones. A dangling image is an image that is not tagged and is not referenced by any container. This command will accomplish the task of cleaning up the unused images. The other options are incorrect because they either do not exist (docker push images -a or docker images rmi --all) or do not remove images (docker rmi -a images only removes images that match the name or ID of “images”). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 19: Managing Cloud and Virtualization Technologies, page 567.

The command ip route add 10.0.213.5/32 via 10.0.5.1 dev eth0 adds a static route to the routing table that sends packets destined for 10.0.213.5/32 (a single host) through the gateway 10.0.5.1 on the interface eth0. This is the correct way to achieve the goal. The other options are incorrect because they either use the wrong syntax (route -i etho -p add), the wrong command (route modify), or the wrong file (/proc/net/route). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 12: Managing Network Connections, page 379.

The command that will accomplish the task of finding and removing all log files that were modified more than 180 days ago is find /var/log -type f -mtime +180 -exec rm {} ;. This command will use find to search for files (-type f) under /var/log directory that have a modification time (-mtime) older than 180 days (+180). For each matching file, it will execute (-exec) the rm command to delete it, passing the file name as an argument ({}). The command will end with a semicolon (;), which is escaped with a backslash to prevent shell interpretation.

The other options are not correct commands for accomplishing the task. The find /var/log -type d -mtime +180 -print -exec rm {} ; command will search for directories (-type d) instead of files, and print their names (-print) before deleting them. This is not what the task requires. The find /var/log -type f -modified +180 -rm command is invalid because there is no such option as -modified or -rm for find. The correct options are -mtime and -delete, respectively. The find /var/log -type c -atime +180 –remove command is also invalid because there is no such option as –remove for find. Moreover, it will search for character special files (-type c) instead of regular files, and use access time (-atime) instead of modification time. References: find(1) - Linux manual page; Find and delete files older than n days in Linux

The administrator should add REQUIRES=mariadb.service to the HTTP server .service file to ensure that the database is available before the web application is started. This directive specifies that the HTTP server unit requires the MariaDB server unit to be started before it can run. If the MariaDB server unit fails to start or stops for any reason, the HTTP server unit will also fail or stop. This way, the dependency between the web application and the database is enforced by systemd.

The other options are not correct directives for accomplishing this task. TRIGGERS=mariadb.service is not a valid directive in systemd unit files. ONFAILURE=mariadb.service means that the HTTP server unit will start only if the MariaDB server unit fails, which is not what we want. WANTEDBY=mariadb.service means that the HTTP server unit will be started when the MariaDB server unit is enabled, but it does not imply a strong dependency or ordering relationship between them. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 10: Managing Services with systemd; systemd.unit(5) - Linux manual page

The command iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.0.2.25:3128 adds a rule to the nat table that redirects all incoming TCP packets with destination port 80 (HTTP) to the proxy server 192.0.2.25 on port 3128. This is the correct way to achieve the task. The other options are incorrect because they either delete a rule (-D), use the wrong protocol (top instead of tcp), or use the wrong port (81 instead of 80). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 12: Managing Network Connections, page 381.
