A

So, in summary, this nmcli command adds a new network connection named “my-office-wired”, configures it to obtain IPv4 configuration automatically using DHCP, sets the IPv4 address to “10.11.12.203”, sets the IPv4 gateway to “10.11.12.254”, and assigns it to the network interface “ens160”.

32
Q

You would like to host a web server on a home computer using port 8080 the computer’s public ip address is subject to change (currently it is 2.3.4.5) You have SSH access privileges to another server whose ip address (10.11.12.3) is permanent. What would you do to allow a regular web user to access you home web server without concerning possible ip changes? provide the SSH command that you would issue from your web server and the URL that a regular web user would enter in a browser to visit your web server.

33
Q

How does a local DNS server resolve a fully qualified domain name (FQDN to an IP address. Assume that the FQDN has not been queried previously. YOu will need to show the DNS hierarchical

A

A local DNS server resolves a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to an IP address by querying root DNS servers, then TLD DNS servers, followed by authoritative DNS servers for the specific domain. Finally, it receives the IP address from the authoritative DNS server and caches it for future use.

34
Q

What is a DNS zone transfer? Give a scenario that a zone transfer is utilized. Can any user perform a zone transfer and why?

A

A DNS zone transfer is the process of copying DNS data from one DNS server to another. It’s utilized for ensuring all authoritative servers have consistent DNS information. Only authorized users should perform zone transfers to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive DNS data.

35
Q
