What are servers?

By
6.What are servers?
Ans.
1. Server provides some specific service access to the user.

 2. They must be configured before use, to gain access to the services provided by server it needs to be enabled and available to the user.

 3. Configuring and enabling the servers is duty of System administrator.

 4. System administrator decides when to enable a server and make it available for other users on network.

 5. Linux distributions used to ship all imaginable servers turned on by default, just installing the operating system on computer would install and configure with default parameters all the services available with the distribution.

 6. For instance, the standard red hat graphical user interface (GUI) requires a graphical layer called XFree86. This is a server.

 7. It runs even on a standalone machine with one user account, it must be configured.

 8. Fortunately Red hat this painless and configure these common servers by default settings. While shipping the distribution.


 9. Likewise printing in Linux takes place only after you configure the print server. Again this has become so easy as to be nearly trivial.

Explain process of setting up a NIC (Network interface card).

44.Explain process of setting up a NIC (Network interface card). Ans. 1. Network interface card (NIC) can be set-up by configuring the network card and internal network. 2. Before configuring network card we must check loopback (IP address 127.0.0.1) is working. 3. Even if the compute is not connected to outside network internet network configuration is required for some applications. This address is known as loopback device, and its IP address is 127.0.0.1 4. To check loopback device is configured or not, we use ‘ifconfig’ command it shows a device called ‘lo’ with the address 127.0.0.1, if this device and address is not shown there then loopback is not configured. 5. To configure it we can use command ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 after that we need to use the ‘route’ command to give system a little more information about this interface for this ‘route add –net 127.0.0.0’ command is used, after this loopback is setup. 6. To configure a network card we will use ifconfig co...

How to configure Network file system (NFS) client?

By
68.How to configure Network file system (NFS) client? Ans. 1. To configure client, make sure that the portmapper, NFS file locking daemons statd & lockd, mount command are avaialbe. 2. NFS client needs the portmapper running in order to process and route RPC calls and returns from the server to the appropriate port and programs. 3. We can ensure portmapper is running or not by using following command: #service portmap status 4. If portmapper is not running then it’ll show us portmapper is stopped to start portmapper we’ll use following command: #service portmap start 5. Mounting can be done using following commands: For example we wants to mount /media from the server configured at the end then we’ll execute following commands: #mount –t nfs 192.168.166.5:/media /media 6. If user wish, he/she can specify client mount options using mounts arguments as; #mount –t nfs 192.168.166.5:/media /media -o resize=8292,wsize=8192, hard, nolock 7. Following are t...
