  2) ifconfig to view network configuration

ifconfig is something deprecated nowadays, you should go with ip command

$ ip addr

  3) OpenSSH server enabled with a default password

If I'm not wrong, ssh is enabled by default. Once you know your IP address, you can login with the regular user (not root) created during initial setup

I suspect that your network is not working, since the right dnf repos are in place by default.
