Issue description
In Step 3 of the lab exercise, the user is instructed to create a static connection using the nmcli command (Step 3.1) and then activate the connection using nmcli connection up (Setp 3.2).
After running the connection up command, serverb becomes unreachable because its IP address changes immediately. This unexpected behavior disconnects the learner from the environment, blocking progress on the remaining steps.

Steps to reproduce:
- Launch the RH124 v9.3 lab environment.
- Navigate to chapter 15 - Section 15.5
- Run Step 3.1 : Create the static connection using the provided nmcli command.
- Run Step 3.2 : Execute nmcli connection up <connection_name>
- Observe that the ssh session disconnects as the IP changes.
Workaround:
Instead of using ssh serverb, the user must connect using: ssh <ip_address>
Expected result:
The connection should activate without disconnecting the user.
The learner should remain connected and able to continue the lab.
