BASICS OF NETWORK TECHNOLOGY

TEST 3
Q1. Write the steps to configure Active Directory Interface?
Ans: To configure the Active Directory (AD) interface, follow these
steps:

1. Install the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) role: Open the
Server Manager on the Windows Server machine and navigate to the
"Manage" tab. Click on "Add Roles and Features" and follow the wizard
to install the AD DS role.

2. Promote the server to a domain controller: After installing the AD


DS role, a notification will appear in the Server Manager dashboard.
Click on the notification and select "Promote this server to a domain
controller." Choose the option to add a new forest or join an existing
one, depending on your requirements. Provide a unique domain name
and follow the wizard to complete the promotion process.

3. Configure the AD DS settings: Once the server is promoted to a


domain controller, you can configure the AD DS settings. Set the
Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM) password, which is used to
recover the AD DS database in case of emergencies. Specify the
locations for the AD DS database, log files, and SYSVOL folder. You
can either accept the default locations or choose different paths.

4. Restart the server: After completing the AD DS configuration, the


server will prompt you to restart. Restart the server to apply the
changes.

5. Verify the Active Directory installation: After the server restarts, log
in using the domain administrator credentials. Open the Server
Manager and navigate to the "Tools" menu. Click on "Active Directory
Users and Computers" to verify that the Active Directory installation is
successful. You should see the default AD objects and organizational
units (OU) within the Active Directory structure.
6. Configure DNS settings: Active Directory relies on DNS for name
resolution. Ensure that the DNS settings on the server are correctly
configured. Open the Server Manager, go to "Tools," and select "DNS."
Verify that the DNS server contains the appropriate forward and
reverse lookup zones for your domain. If not, create them manually.

7. Configure Active Directory sites and subnets (if applicable): If you


have multiple physical locations or subnets, you may need to
configure Active Directory sites and subnets for optimal replication
and authentication. Open the Server Manager, go to "Tools," and select
"Active Directory Sites and Services." Create sites, define subnets, and
associate the subnets with the appropriate sites.

8. Configure Group Policy (optional): Group Policy allows you to


manage user and computer settings within the Active Directory
environment. Open the Server Manager, go to "Tools," and select
"Group Policy Management." Create Group Policy Objects (GPOs), link
them to OUs, and configure the desired settings.

9. Test Active Directory functionality: Perform various tests to ensure


that Active Directory is functioning as expected. Create test user
accounts, join computers to the domain, and verify that the replication
is occurring correctly across domain controllers.

By following these steps, you can configure the Active Directory


interface and establish a functional Active Directory environment.
Q2. Explain installation and configuration of DHCP Server?
Ans: To install and configure a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) server, which automatically assigns IP addresses to devices
on a network, follow these steps:

1. Install the DHCP server role: Open the Server Manager on a


Windows Server machine and navigate to the "Manage" tab. Click on
"Add Roles and Features" and follow the wizard to install the DHCP
Server role. Ensure that the server has a static IP address assigned.
2. Configure DHCP server settings: Once the role installation is
complete, open the DHCP console by clicking on the notification in the
Server Manager or accessing it directly from the Start menu. Right-
click on the DHCP server in the console and select "Properties."

3. Set the DHCP server bindings: In the "Bindings" tab of the DHCP
server properties, select the network interface card (NIC) that will
handle DHCP requests. If you have multiple NICs, choose the one
connected to the network where you want to provide DHCP services.

4. Configure DHCP scopes: A DHCP scope defines the range of IP


addresses that the DHCP server can assign to devices. Right-click on
the "IPv4" node in the DHCP console and select "New Scope." Follow
the wizard to specify the scope name, IP address range, subnet mask,
default gateway, DNS server, and lease duration. These parameters
depend on your network configuration.

5. Configure DHCP options: DHCP options provide additional


configuration settings to the devices receiving IP addresses from the
DHCP server. Right-click on the desired DHCP scope and select "Set
Predefined Options." Configure options such as DNS servers, domain
name, NTP servers, etc., based on your network requirements.

6. Authorize the DHCP server: In an Active Directory environment, you


must authorize the DHCP server before it can distribute IP addresses.
Right-click on the DHCP server in the DHCP console and select
"Authorize." This action ensures that the DHCP server is a trusted
entity within the domain.

7. Activate the DHCP scope: Right-click on the DHCP scope and select
"Activate." This action enables the DHCP server to start assigning IP
addresses to devices within the defined scope.

8. Test DHCP functionality: Connect a client device to the network and


set it to obtain an IP address automatically. The DHCP server should
assign an IP address from the configured scope to the client. Verify
that the client has obtained the correct IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway, DNS server, and any other DHCP options you have
configured.

By following these steps, you can install and configure a DHCP server
to automate IP address assignment on your network.
Q3. Short Notes:
i) DHCP:

Ans: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network


management protocol used to dynamically assign an IP address to nay
device, or node, on a network so they can communicate using IP
(Internet Protocol). DHCP automates and centrally manages these
configurations. There is no need to manually assign IP addresses to
new devices. Therefore, there is no requirement for any user
configuration to connect to a DHCP based network.

DHCP can be implemented on local networks as well as large


enterprise networks. DHCP is the default protocol used by the most
routers and networking equipment. DHCP is also called RFC (Request
for comments) 2131.

ii) DNS:

Ans: An application layer protocol defines how the application


processes running on different systems, pass the messages to each
other.

o DNS stands for Domain Name System.


o DNS is a directory service that provides a mapping between the
name of a host on the network and its numerical address.
o DNS is required for the functioning of the internet.
o Each node in a tree has a domain name, and a full domain name
is a sequence of symbols specified by dots.
o DNS is a service that translates the domain name into IP
addresses. This allows the users of networks to utilize user-
friendly names when looking for other hosts instead of
remembering the IP addresses.
o For example, suppose the FTP site at EduSoft had an IP address
of 132.147.165.50, most people would reach this site by
specifying ftp.EduSoft.com. Therefore, the domain name is more
reliable than IP address.
