Introduction • Maintaining the network is the primary role of a Network Administrator • Troubleshooting and monitoring resources is key Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
APIPA DoS attack DHCP IANA IPCONFIG NETSTAT PING TCP/IP TRACERT Important Terms to Understand Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
Tricks of the Trade - Server Backups • Disaster Recover Plan • Outlines a procedure in the event of a network failure • Weekly Backups • Daily incremental backups Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
Tricks of the Trade - Services Manual Automatic Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
Tricks of the Trade - Service Packs Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
Tricks of the Trade - Miscellaneous • Monitor processes • Use the task Manager • Install Anti-Virus • Update Anti-Virus • Install Utilities Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
Configuring and Testing IP Addresses • Computers must be configured to access the Internet • A unique IP address must be assigned to every device on the Internet • A Network Administrator must configure computers to use the IP addresses Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
Static IP Addresses • Assigning IP addresses statically is the hard way • Network Administrators must key in: • The IP Address • The Subnet Mask • The default Gateway • The DNS Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
Dynamic IP Addresses • Letting the operating system automatically configure IP addresses is much easier • The dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) service allows you to enter a range of IP addresses to obtain Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
Troubleshoot IP Problems - IPCONFIG • IPCONFIG: • Type at command prompt or at Run to determine your IP address Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
Troubleshoot IP Problems - APIPA • APIPA: • Automatic private IP addressing • Enables clients to communicate on a LAN without Internet access Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
Troubleshoot IP Problems - Ping • Ping • If you cannot access the Internet, try a Ping • When you Ping, you send something like an echo to the address • The echo travels there and back • If you do not get a reply, something is wrong with the NIC card or TCP/IUP stack Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
DNS Problems - TRACERT • TRACERT • Trace Route Utility • Bounces and echo to the destination • Shows every router along the way Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
DNS Problems - Hostname • HOSTNAME • Gives you information about yourself • Tells you the host name of the computer you are running Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
DNS Problems - NETSTAT • NETSTAT • Lets you know what communication ports on your computer are in use and who is using them • Communication ports range from 0 – to 1024 • Ports 135 and 139 are used by Windows Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
Summary • Maintaining a network takes a lot of work and time. • Maintenance includes: • Backup schedules • Repairs • Services • Downloading • Installing • Troubleshooting • Try to troubleshoot connections problems via: • PING and TRACERT • Check current IP address via: • IPCONFIG Operating Systems Concepts 1/e Ruth Watson Chapter 11
