...Unit 1 Exercise 1: IP Addressing Scenario 1. What subnet range/s should be used? One requirement to consider when choosing that one mask provide enough host IP addresses to support the largest subnet. Doing so the number of host bits (H) defined by the mask must be large enough so the 2h-2 is larger than or equal to the number of host IP addresses required in the largest subnet. To accommodate the growing subnet you will need at least 8 host bits. Eight host bits would be enough because 28-2=254 and 7 host bits will not be enough (27=126). 2^8-2=254 will support more than enough for 145 more host and with the growth of the company. 2. Should IP addresses be dynamically or statically assigned? Your IP addresses I would recommend dynamically assigned with having DHCP can dynamically allocate an IP address from a pool of addresses and reclaim it when no longer needed. To prevent any duplication of addresses and by a properly configured DHCP server, as an administrator you can move computers between subnets without manually configuring. With statically assigned, static IP addresses which you must configure and maintained manually. This is a time consuming task as the number of systems grow to larger numbers 3. Should one or more network/subnets be used? With plan of your company with a growth of 50% more which you currently have 145 hosts so add 145 hosts more to accommodate the 50 % growth, using the formula 2^8-2=254 for calculating the number of host/subnet. So 145 you will require...

...Unit 2 Explore and discuss Assignments EXT2 was the default file system for Linux until EXT3 came along. EXT2 still is a favored file system for Flash and USB drives due the lack of journaling. Journaling requires more writes to the storage unit and can be slow on these external devices. The Flash and USB drives have a limited number of write cycles. The File system Hierarchy Standard (FHS) is a reference describing the conventions used for the layout of a UNIX system. It has been made popular by its use in Linux distributions, but it is used by other UNIX variants as well. The Linux Standard Base (LSB) refers to it as a standard. In the FHS all files and directories appear under the root directory "/", even if they are stored on different physical or virtual devices. Note however that some of these directories may or may not be present on a UNIX system depending on whether certain subsystems, such as the X Window System, are installed. The Linux Standard Base (LSB) is a joint project by several Linux distributions under the organizational structure of the Linux Foundation to standardize the software system structure, including the file system hierarchy used in the GNU/Linux operating system. When targeting Linux as a platform, application developers want to have some assurance that the code they write on one Linux distribution will run on other Linux distributions without having to go through extra effort. This matches their experiences on other popular platforms, such...

...Unit 1 Assignment Windows 2008 Network Services DNS and DHCP are two important aspects in in any network setting. DNS convers URL’s to IP addresses so that we can just remember a URL instead of an entire IP address for whatever site that we want to access. DHCP is a network protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses to computers and other devices that are connected to any particular network. DHCP is useful no matter how large or small of a network you are on. The decision of whether or not you should configure DHCP for your home network would depend on how many devices are accessing your network and whether or not it is worth the time and effort. Personally if I only had my computer and phone as well as someone else’s devices accessing my network I would go through the trouble of configuring my DHCP, but if I were in a small business or large family with 15 or more nodes on my network I would then set up my DHCP. While setting up DHCP for your home network may not be one hundred percent necessary I believe that it is still a good idea so that you don’t have to preconfigure your IP addresses on your devices. As far as the larger application of a business I think that setting up your DHCP is crucial. Especially in a large business with users who are less knowledgeable as far as computers are designed. If you allowed these users to configure their own IP addresses the results could be disastrous and take a while to fix. Which is why setting up your DHCP is crucial. This way...

...NT1330 Assignment 1: Introduction to Windows 2008 Network Services 1.) The Domain Name System consists of a hierarchical set of DNS servers. Each domain or subdomain has one or more authoritative DNS servers that publish information about that domain and the nameservers of any domains "beneath" it. The hierarchy of authoritative DNS servers matches the hierarchy of domains. At the top of the hierarchy stand the root nameservers: the servers to query when looking up (resolving) a top-level domain name (TLD) Features • Scalability—Because DNS is capable of distributing workload across several databases or computers, it can scale to handle any level of name resolution required. • Constancy—Host names remain constant even when associated IP addresses change, which makes locating network resources much easier. • Ease of Use—Users access computers using easy-to-remember names such as www. microsoft.com rather than a numerical IP address, such as 192.168.1.100. • Simplicity—Users need to learn only one naming convention to find resources on either the Internet or an intranet. 2.) DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. As the name suggests, DHCP is used to control the network configuration of a host through a remote server. DHCP functionality comes installed as a default feature in most of the contemporary operating systems. DHCP is an excellent alternative to the time-consuming manual configuration of network settings on a host or a network device. Features · DHCP client...

...NT1330 Client Server Networking II Mr. Pham Unit 2 Assignment 1 Dear Junior Admin, Regarding your task with changing out the DHCP You can start by checking the workstations and seeing if they have an static IP setup on the network adapter. There are 2 ways to check this. The first way is to click on the run command in the start menu and type cmd and hit enter. Next type in ipconfig /all, depending on how many Network Interface Card or NIC cards are installed (both logically and virtually.) you might get a long list . Look for your main NIC card that you are configuring. Once you find your NIC card that you are looking for, you should see a line that says DHCP Enabled. If there is no static IP address set up then it should say yes. The second way to check is to open the control panel. Find and open the Network and Sharing Center. On the right hand side you should see an option for change adapter settings. Select you main NIC card and right click and select properties. Select and double click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4). Once the window pops up, make sure that both the radio buttons for obtain IP Address automatically are selected. You should also check to see if each workstation has renewed its DHCP lease. To do this you can repeat the steps in the first way to change the DHCP setup. Once again you want to look for your main NIC card that you are configuring. Once you find your NIC card that you are configuring you should see 2 lines that say Lease Obtained...

...NT1330 Client-Server Networking II Name: Homework 1 Ch. 1 (70-642): Introduction to Networking Concepts Fill in the Blank: 1-10 The most widely used IP addressing scheme is IPv4. The most recent and largest address space IP addressing scheme is IPv6. To distribute IP addresses automatically, a network administrator would configure the DHCP service. The first attempt at breaking up IP address space used classful addressing to provide address ranges of differing sizes. Prior to the introduction of the Domain Name System, computers used HOST files to map human-readable named to IP addresses. A(n) Subnet Mask is used to separate the host address portion of an IP address from the network address. The subnet mask within the TCP/IP configuration is used to distinguish the network address from the host address. In dotted-decimal notation, each IPv4 address is broken up into four octets. Server computers and other systems that need to be accessed reliably by network clients should be configured with a(n) static IP address. The method of breaking up IP address space into address ranges of flexible size is called CIDR .

...NT1330 Mr. Ajero Assignment 1 September 14, 2015 DNS – Domain Name System DNS is a hierarchical representation of all the IT devices and their sub-domains in a (company) network. So, in case you see an address like mail.subdomain.company.com, you can easily recognize the name of the system (mail), name of the sub-domain (sub-domain), name of the company (company) and the name of the primary domain (.com). DHCP – Dynamic Host Control Protocol A DHCP server automatically assigns the IP addresses for a device. Any device, before communicating with any other device in the network needs an IP address. These IP addresses are given to the network devices dynamically by a DHCP server (IP addresses ought to be within a certain range and the range is already specified). The IP addresses assigned this way are not permanent – they are actually leased for a certain amount of time to the devices (till they log-out of the network, for example). I believe that two hosts should be sufficient. Using a DHCP Relay Agent would greatly reduce the time necessary for me to set up the name allocation and resolution. If I were to do this manually on a static IP Address, I would have to put a stop to it at 25 machines as it would waste valuable time with trying to get to the other pieces of equipment my client owns. Regardless of if I was getting paid by the hour, I would need extra time for future maintenance and upgrades References DNS and DCHP explanation/definition:...

...Dear Junior Admin, PCs generally have an eight day default lease period. The PC will not make contact to the DCHP server again until halfway through the lease time. Since you changed the scope on Friday, the PCs that just renewed a lease will not contact the DCHP until Tuesday. You may force the PCs to grab new IP addresses by opening a DOS prompt, and do an “ipconfig/release” and an “ipconfig/renew” on each computer. If the problem still isn’t solved, check your scope configuration, and make sure the network/subnet mask match what is configured on the router that is connected to this local LAN. Terra Klaase IT Admin PART B Dear Junior Admin, Active Directory integrated zones must be hosted by Domain Controllers (DCs), and all Active Directory integrated zones are primary zones. Given this, we’re really talking about where to place Domain Controllers servicing the additional role of DNS server. Determining where to place DCs/DNS servers isn’t always straight-forward. However, as a rule of thumb, I take the view that any branch location that’s going to be utilize Active Directory services (authentication, file services, etc.), benefits from having a local DC and domain-integrated DNS services. You might already know much of this, so bear with me… When deciding where to place DC/DNS Servers, keep the following things in mind: * Domain members rely heavily on DNS services to locate domain resources. For example, when a domain-joined computer boots, it queries domain Service Locator...
