Explain TCP/IP networking.

By
42.Explain TCP/IP networking.
Ans.
1. TCP/IP is transmission control protocol and belongs to the family of protocols used for computer communication.

 2. TCP and IP are two different protocols from the group of protocols called as TCP/IP protocol suite.

 3. TCP/IP protocols suite also includes address resolution protocol (ARP);Domain Name System (DNS);Internet Control message protocol(ICMP);User Datagram Protocol(UDP);Routing Information Protocol(RIP);Simple Mail Transfer Protocol(SMTP);Telnet and many others.

 4. Each device connected to a network must have an address to communicate called as Device address.

 5. Device address has two parts: the address of the network to which the device is connected and the address of device itself, i.e. host address.

 6. These two unique addresses are called as network layer addresses and the media access control (MAC).

 7. Network layer addresses are IP addresses that have been assigned to the device whereas Mac addresses are built into the Ethernet card by the manufacturer.

 8. Data is transferred by breaking information into small piece of data called packets or Datagrams

 9. Transferring data in packets avoids error in communication.

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

By
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...
