List and explain all NFS server commands.

65.List and explain all NFS server commands.
Ans.
1. exportfs:
a) The exportfs command enables user to manipulate the list of current exports without editing /etc/exports.
b) It also maintains the list of currently exported file system in /var/lib/nfs/etab.
Example:
The exportfs –a command initializes /var/lib/nfs/etab, synchronizes it with the contents of /etc/exports.
c) To add a new export to etab and also /etc/exports the syntax is :
#exportfs –o opts hostdir
d) Example:
#exportfs –o sync,rw 192.168.166.7:/demo
The above command exports the directory /demo to client 192.168.166.7 with export option rw and sync.
e) –v option of this command, lists currently exported filesystem.
Example:
#exportfs –v
f) –u options unexports the filesystem as follow:
Example:
#exportfs –u 192.168.166.7:/demo

2. showmount:
a) The showmount command provides information about clients and the file systems they have mounted.
b) Syntax is : #showmount [-advhe] [host]
c) Options are as follows:
-d: list only directories
-a: list all the information
-e: lists exported file system
-v: shows showmount’s version number
-h: shows short summary
d) When used with IP address, it lists all the IPs that specific client has mounted.
Example:
#showmount 192.168.166.7
e) #showmount –a
It will show all mount points
f) #showmount –d
It will show only mounted directories
g) #showmount –e
It will show server’s export list.

3. rpcinfo:
a) It is general purpose program to display information about programs that uses RPC protocol.
b) When rpcinfo command is used with –p option it make sure that required daemons are running.
c) Example:
#rpcinfo –p

Explain network classes.

43.Explain network classes. Ans. 1. TCP/IP network are 4 bytes long, called IP addresses and written in dotted-decimal notation. (ex. 192.168.166.5) 2. The decimal numbers must be within the numeric range of 0-255, each IPv4 addresses consist of 4 parts. 3. Each part should conform to the 1-byte requirement. 4. Depending on the value of the first byte of the address, IP addresses can be divided into classes. 5. Network classes are of 3 type and have some specific range • Class A 0-127 • Class B 128-191 • Class C 192-233 6. Class division enables us efficient use of the address numbers. 7. Assigned network numbers are maintained in a database managed by InterNIC to insure that each assignment is unique. 8. After obtaining a network number, the host numbers may be assigned as required, for data transfer ARP maps the IP address to the MAC address of the device. 9. Routers are used for transferring data between 2 devices, routers are default gateway ...
