OPS535 Lab 2 (using Virutal Lab)

Objectives

• Setup and configure private network for your assigned VMs in the OPS535 Virtual Lab for this lab, future labs, and assignments
• Configure VM1 as your control workstation for performing remote administration tasks on VM[2-4]
• Create and deploy remote administration scripts using bash/ansible

Pre-Requisites

• Has access to Seneca VPN, and matrix.senecacollege.ca
• Complete the collection of baseline information on your assigned VMs (VM1, VM2, VM3, and VM4)
• Complete the Lab 2 - NFS lab on your home VMs

Investigation 1: VMs Configuration

Background

You have ssh access to your assigned VMs from matrix.senecacollege.ca using the port numbers, user name, and the corresponding password given on Blackboard via the router ops535.myvmlab.senecacollege.ca. The access router will map the ports (9xxy) to the corresponding internal IP addresses (172.20.xx.y) of your VMs, where 'xx' is you assigned network number, and 'y' is the VM number. The following are the port mapping and the network interfaces on each VM for the student with network number '14':

VM	Port	ens192 ip	ens224 ip	ens256 ip	hostname
VM y	9xxy	172.20.xx.y	192.168.xx.y	----	----
VM 1	9141	172.20.14.1	192.168.14.1	do-not-use	router
VM 2	9142	172.20.14.2	192.168.14.2	none	pri-dns
VM 3	9143	172.20.14.3	192.168.14.3	none	co-nfs
VM 4	9144	172.20.14.4	192.168.14.4	none	rns-ldap

Task 1 : setup and configure VM1

• ssh to your VM1 from matrix

ssh -p 9141 student@ops535.myvmlab.senecacollege.ca

• confirm the IP address on the network dev 'ens192'.
• run the 'nmtui' command under sudo and configure ens224 with the appropriate IP address (192.168.xx.1) as shown.
• install the 'epel-release' package
• install the 'ansible' package
• install the 'git' package
• install the 'wget' package

Task 2: setup and configure VM2 - VM4

• you can either ssh to your VM2 - VM4 from matrix or from your VM1.

• ssh to your VM2 - VM4 from matrix, replace [2-4] with 2, 3, or 4:

ssh -p 914[2-4] student@ops435.myvmlab.senecacollege.ca

• ssh to your VM2 - VM4 from your VM1

ssh 172.20.14.[2-4]

Investigation 2: Control Workstation Configuration

Perform the following steps on VM1 as root:

Investigation 3: Scripts for remote administrations

Task 1

Using bash scripts

Task 2

Using Ansible Playbooks

Completing the Lab

Follow the instructions on blackboard to submit the lab.
