List and explain all the status files in NFS.

By
64.List and explain all the status files in NFS.
Ans.
1. /var/lib/nfs.rmtab – It list each NFS export that is mounted by an NFS client. It uses the Daemon rpc.mountd since it is responsible for servicing the request to mount NFS exports.
Whenever , rpc.mounted daemon receives request, it adds an entry into /var/lib/nfs/rmtab. The same goes for unmounts request but in that case entry is removed from status file.

 2. /var/lib/nfs/etab – It contains list of currently exported filesystem, the exportfs command maintains the entries in this file.

 3. These three scripts which are initialized and controls the required NFS server daemons /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfslock

 4. The portmap scripts starts the portmap daemon also called as portmapper. All programs that uses RPC, such as NIS and NFS, depends on the information the portmapper provides.

 5. The primary NFS startup script is /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs, It requires single argument. E.g. start, stop, restart or reloaded. These commands are executed as follows:
#service nfs status
#service nfs stop
#service nfs start
#service nfs restart
#service nfs reload

 6. NFS service also requires the file locking daemons lockd and statd. Lockd is started automatically but statd is started separately. To carry out this process initialization script can also be useful i.e. /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfslock

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 ...
