OPS335 Assignment 1b - Murray Saul
This is the ROUGH WORK for Murray Saul's section for OPS335 Assignment 1 - Part 2. These assignment specifications are NOT complete.
Once the assignment specifications are ready, then a link will appear in the Main OPS335 WIKI .
Purpose
In this assignment, you will use the 335assign virtual network and the seedling cloning-source that you created in assignment 1 (part 1) to create 2 name-servers. One of the name servers will be the master, and the other one a secondary (slave) name server. You will configure the master name server to provide various domain name resolutions for existing servers, and for servers that will be created and used in assignment #2.
General Requirements
Weight: 5% of the overall grade
Due Date: During Week 9 (in class)
Detailed Requirements
Clone "ns1" VM from "Cloning Source" & Perform Setup Tasks
Perform the following steps for this section:
- Create a clone called: ns1 from the "cloning source" that will act as your master DNS server on the asg1net network. Refer to the table below for address and hostname.
- Make certain that your DNS server must has all the records for the zone called: ops335a1.org listed in that table, including records for machines that do not exist as of yet. It is important to understand that DNS records live independently from the machines that they are "pointing" to.
- A default setup for a master DNS server should be sufficient, but make certain that the address of your admin contact is: yoursenecaid@ops335a1.org, and that slave DNS servers will check for updated records from this master every 30 minutes.
Clone "ns2" VM from "Cloning Source" & Perform Setup Tasks
Perform the following steps for this section:
- Create a clone called ns2 from the cloning source that will act as your slave DNS server on the asg1net network. Refer to the table below for address and hostname.
- The ns2 machine will serve the same records as ns1.
Reference Materials: List of Machines / DNS Records
All the machines in the table need DNS records, but only the ones in bold need to be existing machines for this assignment.
| Name | Address | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| host.ops335a1.org | 10.161.X.1 | Your host machine |
| ns1.ops335a1.org | 10.161.X.2 | Master name server |
| ns2.ops335a1.org | 10.161.X.3 | Slave name server |
| file.ops335a1.org | 10.161.X.4 | File server |
| www.ops335a1.org | 10.161.X.5 | Web server |
| source.ops335a1.org | 10.161.X.254 | Disk image to clone from when creating new machines. |
Assignment Submission
Submit the following in Blackboard, Moodle, or whatever your professor specifies in class or "class announements" (For Murray Saul, also send these in an e-mail (subject line: OPS335 assignment1) with the following attachments):
- Screenshots to demonstrate you have accomplished the required tasks for this assignment.
This includes: configuration files, service statuses, and basic tests of functionality. NOTE: You MUST take screenshoots of the ENTIRE screen as opposed to only the VM console. - Your test plan in PDF format.
- Demonstrate working assignment to your instructor in class:
- Also you need to show your assignment to the professor in a lab period (like you would for any lab for "sign-off"). This requires you to prepare everything ahead of time so that you can quickly demonstrate to your instructor that all required parts of your assignment are working.
