Explain the NFS server configuration files.

By
61.Explain the NFS server configuration files.
Ans.
1. The server configuration file is ‘/etc/exports’, which contains a list of file system to export, the clients permitted to mount them and several export options that apply to client mounts.

 2. Each line in ‘/etc/exports’ has following syntax:
Dir [Host] (option)[….]
Dir specifies one or more mount options
Host specifies one or more mount options.

 3. If user omits host, the listed options apply to every possible client system and if options are omitted then the default mount options will be applied.

 4. Consider the sample of ‘/etc/exports’ file as follows:
a) /usr/share *.mu.ac.in(ro)
It permitsall host on mu.ac.in to mount /usr/share as read only directory.
b) ./courses/tyit 192.168.166.0/24 (rw)
It uses the address/netmask form in which the net mask is specified in classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) format.
c) /home 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 (rw)
It permits any host with an IP address in the range 192.168.166.0 to 192.168.166.254 to mount /home in read-write mode.
d) /projects @dev (rw)
It permits any member of NIS net group named dev to mount /projects
e) /var/spool/mail 192.168.166.12 (rw)
It permits only the host whose IP address is 192.168.166.12 to mount /var/mail
f) /opt/kde gss/krbs (ro)
Any host using RPCSEC-GSS security to mount /opt/kde in read only mode.

Absolute Links vs. Relative Links – SEO Value

Many believe that absolute links have less potential for getting messed up when search engines index your page. It shouldn’t really make a difference, but many conclude that this is reason enough.

Explain network classes.

By
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 ...
