TCP/IP Networking and Remote Access Lecture 9 Hassan Shuja 11/23/2004
TCP/IP Networking and Remote Access • TCP/IP • TCP/IP protocol is used on the Internet • TCP/IP is supported by Windows OS, UNIX, NetWare, Macintosh, MS-DOS, and etc... • IP Addressing • 32-bit binary number broken up in four 8-bit sections • Subnet Mask determines the size of the Network ID and the Host ID • Default Gateway specifies the IP address of the device that needs to be used if there is a need to communicate outside of the subnet • “ipconfig /all” , “nslookup”, “ping”, and “traceroute” are good utilities to troubleshoot TCP/IP issues
TCP/IP Networking and Remote Access • Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) • A DHCP server assigns IP addresses to clients on the network automatically • IP address is leased to the client for a specific amount of time • DNS servers are automatically assigned at this time • DHCP is a service and must be started and only available on all three Server mode flavors of W2K • DHCP allows you to manage IP addresses centrally and prevent duplicate IP addresses • DHCP also allows for regain of IP addresses if they are no longer being used • Authorization in AD is needed of the DHCP server before it can begin to work • Prevents non-authorized W2K servers from coming onto the network and giving out wrong IP addresses
TCP/IP Networking and Remote Access • DHCP (cont.) • DHCP Server will register non-W2K machines with the DNS server • A Scope must be set that determines the range of IP addresses that a DHCP server can assign • By default no scope exists • Addresses can be excluded from scope • In addition to a regular DHCP scope, there are two other types • Super Scope – A range of IP addresses that spans several subnets • Multicast Scope – Assigns Class D addresses to clients • IP Address reservation allows for specific addresses to be only assigned to specific NIC cards • Understand process for obtaining DHCP address • Discussed in Class
TCP/IP Networking and Remote Access • Routing • Routing and Remote Access service needs to be enabled for routing to work • All 3 flavors of Windows 2000 Server are capable of becoming routers on the network • The server that becomes a router needs to have two different methods of communication • Either a second NIC card or a modem, ISDN adapter, and etc.. • Static routes can be added for networks behind an interface to build the routing table • Dynamic routing uses a routing protocol to build the routing table • Additional software is needed for dynamic routing • RIP, OSPF, and IGMP are the different dynamic protocols that can be used
TCP/IP Networking and Remote Access • NAT and PAT • Network Address Translation (NAT) is the translation of many IP addresses from one range to another • Port Address Translation (PAT) is the translation of many IP addresses to one single address • Routing has to be enabled for a Server to be configured with NAT or PAT • NAT is configured on a routing interface
TCP/IP Networking and Remote Access • Remote Access • Remote Access is a very important aspect of a network these days because of such a mobile workforce • Routing and Remote Access service needs to be enabled for remote access to work • This service is only available on the 3 flavors of W2K Server • Several connection protocols are available for remote access connection • PPP - Point-to-Point Protocol support multiple transport protocols • PPMP – Point-to-Point Multilink Protocol is and extension of PPP and combines the bandwidth from multiple physical connections • PPTP – Point-to-Point permits a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection between two networks • L2TP – Layer Two Tunneling Protocol is similar to PPTP. The difference is PPTP uses Microsoft encryption and L2TP uses IPSec encryption • Microsoft RAS – Used for legacy client computers such as MS-DOS or Windows 3.1. NetBEUI is the only transport protocol that is allowed
TCP/IP Networking and Remote Access • Remote Access • Authentication can be done through Active directory or a Radius Server • DHCP can be used to assign IP addresses to remote clients • Remote Access Server (RAS) can be set to allow IPX, NetBEUI, and AppleTalk from the client • Remote Access policies can be set to enhance security and has three components • Conditions – Predefined attributes that must be matched by the client. Common conditions are day and time of connection, client phone number, and computer name • Permissions – Grants or Denies permission access to the RAS • Profile – The profile sets such settings as IP address, authentication methods, and encryption options • Encryption can be set to the following settings • No Encryption • Basic – 56 bit DES L2TP and 40 bit for Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE) • Strong – 56 bit DES or 56 bit for MPPE • Strongest – 168 bit 3DES or 128 bit for MPPE
