How to use Automount services?

By
70.How to use Automount services?
Ans.
1. autofs is used for automatic mounting of NFS exports when the file system is first accessed.

 2. autofs uses the automount daemon to mount and unmount.

 3. autofs uses a set of map files to control automounting.

 4. The master map file i.e. /etc/auto.master, associates mount points with the secondary map files.
The secondary map files in turn control the file system mounted under the corresponding mount points.
For example consider the following
/etc/auto.master autofs configuration file:
 /media /etc/auto.home
/var /etc/auto.var -timeout 600
This file associates the secondary map file /etc/auto.home with the mount point /home and the map file /etc/auto.var with the /var mount point

 5. Each entry in /etc/auto.master, refer to as master map files, and consist of at least two and possibly 3 fields:
1st field is the mount point.
2nd field identifies the full path to the secondary map file that controls the map point.
3rd field is optional, consist of options that control the behavior of the automount daemon.

 6. The secondary map files defines the mount options that apply to the file system mounted under the corresponding directory.

Explain process of setting up a NIC (Network interface card).

By
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...
