Linux Networking This Tutorial Covers TCP/IP Networking And Linux Tutorial - Linux Network Administration YoLinux Tutorial - Linux Networking This tutorial covers TCP/IP networking and system configuration basics. Linux can support multiple network devices. The device names are numbered and begin at zero and count upwards. For example, a computer running two ethernet cards will have two devices labeled /dev/eth0 and /dev/eth1. Contents: Configuration files Red Hat Linux network GUI configuration tools. Assigning an IP address Activating and De-Activating your NIC Subnets Enable Forwarding Adding a network interface card (NIC) Route VPN, Tunneling Usefull Linux networking commands inetd/xinetd: Network Socket Listener Daemons RPC: Remote Procedure Call.

If using DHCP client, this will automatically be sent to you by the ISP and loaded into this file as part of the DHCP protocol. If using a static IP address, ask the ISP or check another machine on your network. File: /etc/hosts - locally resolve node names to IP addresses 127.0.0.1 your-node-name.your-domain.com localhost.localdomain localho st XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX node-name Note when adding hosts to this file, place the fully qualified name first. (It helps sendmail identify your server correctly) i.e.: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX superserver.yolinux.com superserver This informs Linux of local systems on the network which are not handled by the DNS server. (or for all systems in your LAN if you are not using DNS or NIS) /etc/sysconfig/network Red Hat network configuration file used by the system during the boot process. /etc/nsswitch In the past this file has had the following names: /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/svc.conf, /etc/netsvc.conf, ... depending on the distribution. File: /etc/nsswitch.conf - System Databases and Name Service Switch configuration file hosts: files dns nisplus nis This example tells Linux to first resolve a host name by looking at the local hosts file(/etc/hosts), then if the name is not found look to your DNS server as defined by /etc/resolv.conf and if not found there look to your NIS server. File: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 Configuration settings for your first ethernet port (0). Your second port is eth1. File: /etc/modules.conf (or for older systems: /etc/conf.modules) Example statement for Intel ethernet card: alias eth0 eepro100 Modules for other devices on the system will also be listed. This tells the kernel which device driver to use if configured as a loadable module. (default for Red Hat) Fedora / Red Hat Network GUI Configuration Tools: The following GUI tools edit the system configuration files. There is no difference in the configuration developed with the GUI tools and that developed by editing system configuration files directly. TCP/IP ethernet configuration: Network configuration: /usr/sbin/system-config-network (FC-2/3) GUI shown here ---> /usr/bin/redhat-config-network (/usr/bin/neat) (RH 7.2+ FC-1) Text console configuration tool: /usr/sbin/system-config-network-tui (Fedora Core 2/3) /usr/bin/redhat-config-network-tui (RH 9.0 - FC-1) Text console network configuration tool. First interface only - eth0: /usr/sbin/netconfig /usr/bin/netcfg (GUI) (last available with RH 7.1) Gnome Desktop: Gnome Desktop Network Configuration /usr/bin/gnome-network-preferences (RH 9.0 - FC-3) Proxy configuration. Choose one of three options: Direct internet connection Manual proxy configuration (specify proxy and port) Automatic proxy configuration (give URL) Assigning an IP address: Computers may be assiged a static IP address or assigned one dynamically. Static IP address assignment: Choose one of the following methods: Command Line: /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.10 .255 Network address by convention would be the lowest: 192.168.10.0 Broadcast address by convention would be the highest: 192.168.10.255 The gateway can be anything, but following convention: 192.168.10.1 Note: the highest and lowest addresses are based on the netmask. The previous example is based on a netmask of 255.255.255.0 GUI tools: /usr/bin/neat Gnome GUI network administration tool. Handles all interfaces. Configure for Static IP or DHCP client. (First available with Red Hat 7.2.) /usr/bin/netcfg (Handles all interfaces) (last available in Red Hat 7.1) Console tool: /usr/sbin/netconfig (Only seems to work for the first network interface eth0 but not eth1,...) Directly edit configuration files/scripts. See format below. The ifconfig command does NOT store this information permanently. Upon reboot this information is lost. (Manually add the commands to the end of the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local to execute them upon boot.) The commands netcfg and netconfig make permanent changes to system network configuration files located in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, so that this information is retained. The IANA has allocated IP addresses in the range of 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 for private networks. Helpful tools: Cisco's IP Subnet calculator CIDR Conversion table - CIDR values, masks etc. The Red Hat configuration tools store the configuration information in the file /etc/sysconfig/network. They will also allow one to configure routing information. File: /etc/sysconfig/network Static IP address Configuration: (Configure gateway address) NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=my-hostname - Hostname is defined here and by command hostname FORWARD_IPV4=true - True for NAT firewall gateways and linux routers. Fa lse for everyone else - desktops and servers. GATEWAY="XXX.XXX.XXX.YYY" - Used if your network is connected to another network or the internet. Static IP configuration. Gateway not defined here fo r DHCP client. OR for DHCP client configuration: NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=my-hostname - Hostname is defined here and by command hostname (Gateway is assigned by DHCP server.) File: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 Static IP address configuration: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=XXX.XXX.XXX.255 IPADDR=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=XXX.XXX.XXX.0 ONBOOT=yes OR for DHCP client configuration: DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp (Used by script /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup to bring the various network interfaces on-line) To disable DHCP change BOOTPROTO=dhcp to BOOTPROTO=none In order for updated information in any of these files to take effect, one must issue the command: service network restart Changing the host name: This is a three step process: Issue the command: hostname new-host-name Change network configuration file: /etc/sysconfig/network Edit entry: HOSTNAME=new-host-name Restart systems which relied on the hostname (or reboot): Restart network services: service network restart Restart desktop: Bring down system to console mode: init 3 Bring up X-Windows: init 5 One may also want to check the file /etc/hosts for an entry using the system name which allows the system to be self aware. Network aliasing: Assign more than one IP address to one ethernet card: ifconfig eth0 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast XXX.XXX.XXX. 255 ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.10.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.10.2 55 ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.10.14 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.10.2 55 route add -host XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX dev eth0 route add -host 192.168.10.12 dev eth0 route add -host 192.168.10.14 dev eth0 In this example 0 and 1 are aliases in addition to the regular eth0. The result of the ifconfig command: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:4C:25:7A:3F inet addr:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Bcast:XXX.XXX.XXX.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:14218 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1362 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:1 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:5 Base address:0xe400 eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:4C:25:7A:3F inet addr:192.168.10.12 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:5 Base address:0xe400 eth0:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:4C:25:7A:3F inet addr:192.168.10.14 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:5 Base address:0xe400 Config file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 DEVICE=eth0:0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=192.168.10.255 IPADDR=192.168.10.12 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.10.0 ONBOOT=yes Aliases can also be shut down independently. i.e.: ifdown eth0:0 The option during kernel compile is: CONFIG_IP_ALIAS=y (Enabled by default in Redhat) DHCP Linux Client: get connection info: /sbin/pump -i eth0 --status (Linux 7.1 and older) Device eth0 IP: 4.XXX.XXX.XXX Netmask: 255.255.252.0 Broadcast: 4.XXX.XXX.255 Network: 4.XXX.XXX.0

  • NAME DESCRIPTION Manpag.Es Fedora 31
    fedora 31 manpag.es XINETD.CONF(5) XINETD.CONF(5) NAME xinetd.conf − Extended Internet Services Daemon configuration file DESCRIPTION xinetd.conf is the configuration file that determines the services provided by xinetd.Any line whose first non-white-space character is a ’#’ is considered a comment line. Empty lines are ignored. The file contains entries of the form: service <service_name> { <attribute> <assign_op> <value> <value> ... ... } The assignment operator, assign_op, can be one of ’=’, ’+=’, ’-=’. The majority of attributes support only the simple assignment operator, ’=’. Attributes whose value is a set of values support all assign- ment operators. Forsuch attributes, ’+=’ means adding a value to the set and ’-=’ means removing a value from the set. Alist of these attributes will be givenafter all the attributes are described. Each entry defines a service identified by the service_name.The following is a list of available attributes: id This attribute is used to uniquely identify a service. This is useful because there exist services that can use different protocols and need to be described with differ- ent entries in the configuration file. By default, the service id is the same as the service name. type Anycombination of the following values may be used: RPC if this is an RPC service INTERNAL if this is a service provided by xinetd. TCPMUX/TCPMUXPLUS if this is a service that will be started according to the RFC 1078 protocol on the TCPMUX well-known port. See the section describing TCPMUX services below. UNLISTED if this is a service not listed in a standard system file (like /etc/rpc for RPC services, or /etc/services for non-RPC services).

  • 1 COMPUTER NETWORKS UNIT-V Socket
    COMPUTER NETWORKS UNIT-V Socket Programming: Socket Address: A socket is one endpoint of a two-way communication link between two programs running on the network. A socket is bound to a port number so that the TCP layer can identify the application that data is destined to be sent to. An endpoint is a combination of an IP address and a port number. Every TCP connection can be uniquely identified by its two endpoints. That way you can have multiple connections between your host and the server. TCP/IP creates the socket address as an identifier that is unique throughout all Internet networks. TCP/IP concatenates the Internet address of the local host interface with the port number to devise the Internet socket address. Two types of (TCP/IP) sockets : Stream sockets (e.g. uses TCP) : provide reliable byte-stream service Datagram sockets (e.g. uses UDP) :provide best-effort datagram service , messages up to 65.500 bytes Sockets – Procedures: 1 Client - Server Communication – Unix: Elementary Socket System Calls: socket To do network I/O, the first thing a process must do is to call the socket system call, specifying the type of communication protocol desired. #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> int socket(int family, int type, int protocol); The family is one of AF_UNIX -- Unix internal protocols AF_INET -- Internet protocols AF_NS -- Xerox NS Protocols AF_IMPLINK -- IMP link layer The AF_ prefix stands for "address family." 2 The socket type is one of the following: SOCK_STREAM stream socket SOCK_DGRAM datagram socket SOCK_RAW raw socket SOCK_SEQPACKET sequenced packet socket SOCK_RDM reliably delivered message socket (not implemented yet) The protocol argument to the socket system call is typically set to 0 for most user applications.

  • Unix Daemons/Inetd
    Unix Daemons Daemons A daemon is a process that: runs in the background not associated with any terminal output doesn't end up in another session. terminal generated signals (^C) aren't received. Unix systems typically have many daemon processes. Most servers run as a daemon process. 2 Common Daemons Web server (httpd) Mail server (sendmail) SuperServer (inetd) System logging (syslogd) Print server (lpd) router process (routed, gated) 3 Daemon Output No terminal - must use something else: file system central logging facility Syslog is often used - provides central repository for system logging. 4 Syslog service syslogd daemon provides system logging services to "clients". Simple API for "clients" A library provided by O.S. A system administrator can control logging functions by specifying: where messages should go what kinds of messages are important what can be ignored 5 syslogd Unix domain socket Filesystem /dev/log /var/log/messages UDP socket port 514 syslogd Console /dev/klog Remote syslogd 6 Syslog messages Think of syslog as a server that accepts messages. Each message includes a number of fields, including: a level indicating the importance (8 levels) LOG_EMERG highest priority LOG_DEBUG lowest priority a facility that indicates the type of process that sent the message: LOG_MAIL, LOG_AUTH, LOG_USER, LOG_KERN, LOG_LPR, . A text string. 7 Message: (level,facility,string) /etc/syslog.conf Syslogd reads a configuration file that specifies how various messages should be handled (where they should go). The sysadmin controls all logged messages by editing this file. Examples: Sysadmin could set LOG_EMERG messages to be sent to the console low priority messages from lpr could be thrown away.

Ethernet is a packet-based serial multi-drop network requiring no centralized control. All network access and arbitration control is performed by distributed mechanisms. I Internet backbone uses specialized hardware and has speeds up to 500G/s. Experimental systems are available for much higher speeds. 4/45 Ethernet Protocol I In an Ethernet network, machines use the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detect (CSMA/CD) protocol for arbitration when multiple machines try to access the network at the same time. I If packets collide, then the machines choose a random number from the interval (0;k) and try again. I On subsequent collisions, the value k is doubled each time, making it a lot less likely that a collision would occur again. This is an example of an exponential backoff protocol. 5/45 Ethernet Packets I The Ethernet packet has the format shown below.

  • Xinetd Y Tcpwrappers Introducción (I)
    Control de acceso a los servicios I: Xinetd y TCPWrappers Introducción (I) • Actualmente el control de acceso se realiza mediante: – Envolventes de acceso (tcpwrappers). – Servidor xinetd. • Ambos son versiones mejoradas de: – Antiguos envolventes de acceso. – Servidor inetd. Administración y Gestión de Redes 1 Control de acceso a los servicios I: Xinetd y TCPWrappers El servidor inetd (I) • Surgió en la versión de UNIX 4.3 de BSD. – Anteriormente cada servicio escuchaba su propio puerto. – A partir de esta versión, existe un servidor que escucha los puertos y lanza los servidores adecuados. • El fichero de configuración del servidor es /etc/inetd.conf. • Es leído: – Al arrancar el servidor. – Al recibir el servidor la señal de SIGHUP. Administración y Gestión de Redes 2 Control de acceso a los servicios I: Xinetd y TCPWrappers El servidor inetd (II) • Cuando recibe una petición genera un nuevo proceso. – Si la petición es a un puerto TCP: • Este proceso lanza el servidor que atiende el puerto. • Le comunica la dirección IP/puerto del cliente. – Si la petición es a un puerto UDP: • Se libera el socket original para permitir a inetd seguir escuchando el puerto. • inetd permanece a la espera de que termine la solicitud. Administración y Gestión de Redes 3 Control de acceso a los servicios I: Xinetd y TCPWrappers El servidor inetd (III) • Ejemplo: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/ftpd ftpd –l telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/telnetd telnetd daytime dgram udp wait root internal • Descripción de los campos: – Nombre del servicio. – Tipo de socket. – Protocolo de transporte. – Esperar (wait) o no (nowait) a que el servidor termine su ejecución.
