Explain TCP/IP networking.

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 how to configure DHCP client?

50.Explain how to configure DHCP client? Ans. 1. Before configuring DHCP, NIC should be configured properly and recognized by the system. 2. After that it’s easy to command system to use DHCP to obtain its IP information. 3. Configuring DHCP client involves following steps : a. Open the /etc/sysconfig/networkscripts/ifcfg-eth0 file. b.

Explain memory and virtual file system in Linux.

22.Explain memory and virtual file system in Linux. Ans. 1. These file systems do not exist on disk in the same way that traditional file systems do, they either exists entirely in the system memory or they are virtual because they are an interface to system devices. 2. cramfs: cramfs is designed to cram a file System onto a small flash memory device, so it is small, simple and able to compress things well. The largest file size is 16MB and the largest file system size is 256MB since cramfs is so compressed, it isn’t instantly updateable. 3. tmpfs: tmpfs is structured around the idea that whatever is put in the /tmp file system is accessed again shortly, tmpfs solely in memory, so what you put in /tmp doesn’t persist between reboots. 4. ramfs: ramfs is basically cramfs without the compression. 5. romfs: This is a read only file system that is mostly used for initial ramdisks of installation disks. It was designed to take up very little space, so you could fit a ke...
