Subject: TCP/IP Brain Dump, 70-59 TCP/IP 4.0

Dear Robert,

I don't mind if you post this at your website.No objection.

1) How a third DNS Server to function as a Backup server in an environment where there are already two DNS Servers acting as Primary and Secondary?

2) How can you configure the third DNS Sever which is to be configured for supporting the load balancing of Primary Server and should not participate in Zone Trasfer Traffics?

3)What is the utility to view who are all currently having TCP/IP connection with your Workstation?

4)What is the utility to view what configuration changes the DHCP made at your workstation Configuration?

5)What is the utility to purge the contents of the arp cache?

6)What is the utility to monitor the Ethernet traffic and the TCP/IP stasticts?

7)Which utility will you use to export the statstics collected to a spread sheat for future analsis?

8)What utility will you use to construct a capacity planning on all statistical datas you collected?

9)Three UNIX machines are to be stored in the WINS Database manually and what entry will you put at the WINS configuration panel?

10)Why unnecessarily a machine is doing arp broadcast even when the target machine is in the same subnet while other machines in the same subnet are not?

11)What utility for seeing the IP address - Physical address match of a an interface card?

12)You have three subnets in which a single subnet is populated with 10 Laptop workstations and the other two subnets with NT Workstations. You want the 1st subnet to be supplied with IP addresses(ofcourse by DHCP) with a lease acqusition period of 10 days.The other two subnets with 30 & 40 days lease period respectively.How will you configure?

13)Your NT Server in your office is connected via RAS connectivity to the Internet ISP Server through the ISDN communcation. Now you want the Windows 95 workstation users in your internel subnet to get connected to the ISP.How will you do that?

14)You want the Unix member workstations to print jobs at the NT print server connected print device.How will you configure?

15)You want the Windows based machines to print at a Network printing device connected to a NT Print Server. How will you redirect the jobs to the net printer

16)You want to send the print jobs to a UNIX workstation from the windows based machines.Which utility will you use?

17)You want to view the print jobs that are sent to UNIX printer from a windows based Workstation.Which utility will you use?

18)You are configuring a IIS server on NT Server a which is going to be used as a FTP Server and also a WWW Server. How will you configure it for the Host record?

19)You want to monitor the NT Workstation performance from a Unix client. How will you do it? What Software (utility?) at NT Workstation and at Unix host?

20)You don't want to have trap messages from unauthorized SNMP Hosts.How will you configure the SNMP agent workstation?

21)When you ftp a host name using UNC you get a "Bad IP address" message. What ciould be the possible reason?

22)You can ping the remote host using the IP address but not through netuse \\....\...
Why?

23)You are not able to ping the IP address of a remote host on another subnet using Netbios name but through IP address.You can also ping the other hosts on that subnet using both ways.What went wrong?

24)You have a domain spanning across three subnets.You want the clients in all the 3 subnets to be able to communicate and browse each other. How will you do that?

You install and configure an NT Server to be put in the middle of three subnets.

Required:

• It should be made to act as a router.

Optional:

• IP router and should be made to dynamically update its routing table whenever routers are added and removed from the network.
• That machine to be able to supply IP address to all the machines belonging to the three subnets.
• Also you want a NT Workstation to be sent a trap message across the network.

Proposed Implementation I:

• Configure the Server to act as router.
• Implement PPTP so that............................
• Implement the DHCP Server on the NT Server.

Proposed Implementation II:

• Configure the Server to act as router.
• Enable IP routing.Configure RIP.
• Set the third party SNMP manager.
• Implement PPTP so that............................
• Implement the DHCP Server on the NT Server.

26)You want a Workstation in Subnet A to browse and Communicate with the other workstation in subnet B.But you can't even though they have their own WINS Servers installed.What will you do?

27)You have Subnet A, Subnet B and Subnet C. The Workstations in the subnet A&B uses the WINS in the Subnet A. The Workstations in Subnet C uses its own. How will you configure to have the users of Subnet C and B to browse themselves freely?

28)You have two WINS servers and you want them to participate in replication.The link is a 56kb Slow link.You also want the Replicationto take place once in a day.In the display appellete the WINS at Subnet A is configured to replicate once it get 5000 entries with its push partner WINS at subnet B. The WINS at Subnet B is configured to replicate with its pull partner to replicate once in 24 hours. Just grade it.

29)You don't want to resolve host names into IP address using a DNS which contains static entries in it.What will you install in alliance with DNS to resolve IP address from a dynamically updated DNS database?

30) This is a hosts file:

157.21.36.121 UNIX Product
157.51.25.110 Product developer

Above is a Hosts file entry.When you say ftp:>\\product\share\ you get attached to the ftp server. But when you say ping 157.51.25.110 you can't reach it.Why?

31)How will you log on to a Domain controler which is in another domain and for that what entries do you require at your Workstation's lmhosts file?

32)Why a workstation is not making a broadcast even when it can't resolve through other methods?

Bye
