How to configure Routers and Gateways?

By
49.How to configure Routers and Gateways?
Ans.
1. The router connected to each network is called its gateway.

 2. IP forwarding is enabled by using following commands:
echo ”1” > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

 3. If a system has two network interfaces, the network interfaces would be configured as shown below:

 4. INTERFACE ADDRESS MASK
Eth0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.128
Eth1 192.168.1.129 255.255.255.128

 5. The network routing the system would use is as follows:
DESTINATION GATEWAY MASK INERFACE
192.168.1.0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.128 eth0
192.168.1.128 192.168.1.129 255.255.255.128 eth1

 6. To finish the changes we use following commands:
#route add –net 192.168.1.0
#route add default gw 192.168.129

Explain memory and virtual file system in Linux.

By
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...
