Explain the concept of subnetting the network.

48.Explain the concept of subnetting the network.
Ans.
1. Every IP network has two addresses that cannot be used –The network IP number itself and the broadcast addresses.

2. Every time we subnet we are creating these two unusable addresses, so the more subnet we have, the more IP addresses we lose.

3. We need to determine the subnetwork mask and network numbers. Subnetworking takes one or more of the available host bits and makes them appear as network bits to the local interfaces.

4. If we want to divide our Class C network into two subnetworks, we’d change the first host bits to ones, and this would give us a net mask of 255.255.255.192

5. Lastly, assign the appropriate numbers for the network, the broadcast address, and the IP addresses for each of the interfaces.

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...

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. Find the line bootproto=static c. Change the static to dhcp. d. Save changes. e. Restart the network by issuing command ‘service network restart’, after that system will receive its IP information from the DHCP server.
