Linux and Networking Lab Assignment

1. How to check the IP address of your Linux system using the command line.

Command:

ip a

Take a screenshot showing 'inet' under your active interface (like eth0 or wlan0).

2. Test the connectivity to a website using ping (use google)

Command:

ping -c 4 google.com

Capture the response lines and summary statistics.

3. Find the MAC address of your active network interface.

Command:

ip link show

Look for 'link/ether' value. Example MAC: dc:a6:32:8b:44:12

4. Command to edit the network interface, assigning the IP and gateway.

Command:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Add static IP config and restart networking service.

5. How to check the Linux Distribution with particular version.

Command:

lsb_release -a

Take a screenshot of the Distributor ID and Release info.

6. List all active TCP connections (netstat -antp)

Command:

sudo netstat -antp

Look for LISTEN and ESTABLISHED states.

7. Install iperf and listen for incoming speed tests.

Commands:

sudo apt install iperf

iperf -s

Screenshot: Server listening state.

8. nslookup google.com

Command:

nslookup google.com

Note the 'Non-authoritative answer' and resolved IP.

9. Analyze active TCP connections and processes.

Command:

sudo netstat -antp

Highlight LISTEN state, external IPs, and PIDs.

10. Display CPU info (/proc/cpuinfo)

Command:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Note model name, core count, clock speed, and vendor ID.

11. Display memory info (/proc/meminfo)

Command:

cat /proc/meminfo

Example: MemTotal = 8043456 kB, SwapFree = 2097148 kB
