MOTIVATION:
Linux is the most significant part or driving power behind IT industry. It is running almost everywhere, on PCs, Servers, Routers, and Smartphones, etc. Linux is an Open Source and which creates a feel like independence to work and enhance our skills and obviously it develops interest in us. It helps us to become passionate for passive learning and passively acquire self-sufficiency. The world is looking for Linux professionals. There are demand, high salaries and many opportunities for Linux professionals. We are doing this project, to get acquainted with the most versatile and collaborative OS, which has features like superior design & performance, extremely scalable, Multi-Platform, True Multi-user, True Multi-tasking, Multi-threading and security.

DHCP (DYNAMIC HOST CONFIGURATION PROTOCOL):
The protocol is used to allocate IP addresses to various hosts connected in a network. It automatically assigns IP addresses to all the hosts in the network of a specified range within the network, a proper subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server of the network.

For IPv4: Step 1: Install DHCP server

Command: sudo apt-get install isc-dhcp-server

Step 2: Now set the static IP address of the DHCP server

Command: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Step 3: Change lo to either eth0 or wlan0 and loopback to static or else keep both of them

Command:

Edit the interfaces to make the changes as following. auto lo         iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface lo inet static address 192.168.10.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.10.1 network 192.168.10.0 broadcast 192.168.10.255 dns-domain-nameserver 192.168.10.2 dns-domain-search linuxproject.com

Step 4: Restart the network

Command:

sudo nano /etc/init.d/networking restart

Step 5: Configure the DHCP server

Command: sudo nano /etc/dhcp/dhcp.conf

Step 6: Edit the dhcp.conf file and make the following changes

Command:

ddns-update-style none; option domain-name-servers 192.168.10.254; option domain-name “linuxproject.com”; default-lease-time 600; max-lease-time 7200; authoritative; subnet 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {         range 192.169.10.100 192.168.10.120; option routers 192.168.10.1; option broadcast-address 192.168.10.255; }

Step 7: Open the resolv.conf file

Command:

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

Step 8: Edit the resolv.conf

Command:

nameserver 192.168.10.254

Step 9: Restart the DHCP server

Command:

sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart

For IPv6:

Step 1: Install radvd to build IPv6 DHCP server

Command:

sudo apt-get install radvd

Step 2: Open radvd.conf file

Command:

sudo nano /etc/radvd.conf

Step 3: Edit the radvd.conf file and make following changes

Command:

Interfaces eth0 {         AdvSentAdvert on; AdvManagedFlag on; AdvOtherConfigFlag on; Prefix 2001:db8:0:1::/64 {         AdvAutonomous off; };         };

Step 4: Open dhcpd.conf file

Command: sudo nano /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

Step 5: Edit dhcpd.conf file and make following changes

Command: default-lease-time 600; max-lease-time 7200; log-facility local7; subnet6 2001:db8:0:1::/64 {         range6 2001:db8:0:1::129 2001:db8:0:1::254; }

DNS (DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM):
Domain Name System is used to translate IP address to hostname and also hostname to IP address. Rather than implementing centralized architecture for DNS, which creates a possibility of single point of failure, DNS is implemented in hierarchy. At the top of hierarchy are the root DNS servers, then comes the Top Level Domain (TLDs) and then authoritative DNS servers.

Step 1: Install bind9

Command:

sudo apt-get install bind9

Step 2: Open the interfaces.

Command:

sudo nano /etc/networks/interfaces

Step 3: Edit the interfaces and configure static IP address for the DNS server

WEB SERVER:
A web server is a server placed in the network to primarily handle the HTTP requests made by hosts of the network. It helps to connect the network hosts to the World Wide Web. It is a network component which takes all the resolved requests from DNS as inputs, fetches the requested page or request and replies back with an appropriate reply.

Step 8: Restart the Web server

Command:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

FIREWALL:
A system that controls traffic coming in or going out of the network. It acts as a barrier to the unwanted traffic flowing through it. We can block a network, a particular host, or certain sections of communications such as FTP, telnet, TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.

Step 3: Now append Web server’s public key to the host

Command:

cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh chamu@192.168.85.10 ‘cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys’

Step 4: Now we have to compress the file, which is needed to be backed up

Command:

sudo tar –cvpzf minutebackup.tar.gz /var/www/html/index.html

Step 5: Open crontab file

Command:

sudo crontab -e

Step 6: Using cron jobs we will schedule the backup for every minute

MAIL SERVER:
Mail server is a network component which helps to also send e-mails to other domains other than our own. If mail server would not had been there in the network, we might just be able to send e-mails to people with our domain name. Through a mail server, a mail could be send out to everyone via internet. This service is very useful for communication within and outside your domain network.

TESTING:
•	Connect all network components to a switch

•	Do an –ifconfig –on client

•	Client gets an IP address from DHCP server; within network range and subnet mask

•	Client makes a HTTP request

•	Request send to DNS for resolution

•	DNS resolves the request, sends back a reply to client with associated IP/Hostname

•	Subsequent HTTP request made to web server

•	Web server fetches and replies back to client with associated HTTP page
