  • The Linux Device File-System
    The Linux Device File-System Richard Gooch EMC Corporation [email protected] Abstract 1 Introduction All Unix systems provide access to hardware via de- vice drivers. These drivers need to provide entry points for user-space applications and system tools to access the hardware. Following the \everything is a file” philosophy of Unix, these entry points are ex- posed in the file name-space, and are called \device The Device File-System (devfs) provides a power- special files” or \device nodes". ful new device management mechanism for Linux.

An alternative mechanism is then presented. It is an alternative to conventional disc-based char- acter and block special devices. Kernel device drivers can register devices by name rather than de- vice numbers, and these device entries will appear in the file-system automatically. 1.1 Device numbers Devfs provides an immediate benefit to system ad- ministrators, as it implements a device naming scheme which is more convenient for large systems Conventional Unix systems have the concept of a (providing a topology-based name-space) and small \device number".

Within the kernel, this device number is Device driver authors can benefit from devfs by used to refer to the hardware and driver instance.

  • Install and Setup DHCP Service
    Install and setup DHCP Service Synopsis: DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol allows for automatic management of IP addresses on your internal network. By providing DHCP on your LAN, you eliminate the bother of having to configure manually PCs, laptops, or smart phones. They will automatically get an IP address and be configured with default gateway and DNS server information. It is important that only one DHCP server be active on a network. So, check carefully any other network devices on your network, especially wireless Access Points, to be sure their DHCP service is disabled. I. Installation Log into the Freebsd system as root. (Assumes networking is already configured.) # # cd /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp44-server && make install clean # II. Startup Configuration Enable DHCP daemon at startup and assign the internal LAN (sk0 in this project) interface; # # echo 'dhcpd_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf # echo 'dhcpd_ifaces="sk0"' >> /etc/rc.conf # III. Setup configuration file # # cd /usr/local/etc # If there is a dhcpd.conf file, rename it; # # mv dhcpd.conf dhcpd.conf.original # Copy the following text, modify for your personal use, and paste it into a new dhcpd.conf file. You will need to modify the subnet (i.e., your network zero) and mask, the IP pool range, the DNS server (in this case 8.8.8.8 is the Google DNS server), the domain name, the router/gateway and the broadcast address (i.e., your network 255). The settings shown assumes our LAN subnet will be the private range 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255. This machine will have LAN address configured as 192.168.1.254 and will be the default gateway for the LAN network.

    Aalto University School of Science Degree Programme in Computer Science and Engineering Lauri Tirkkonen Utilising configuration management node data for network infrastructure man- agement Master's Thesis Espoo, May 4, 2016 Supervisor: Professor Heikki Saikkonen Advisor: Jaakko Kotim¨akiM.Sc. (Tech.) Aalto University School of Science ABSTRACT OF Degree Programme in Computer Science and Engineering MASTER'S THESIS Author: Lauri Tirkkonen Title: Utilising configuration management node data for network infrastructure man- agement Date: May 4, 2016 Pages: 38 Major: Software Technology Code: T-106 Supervisor: Professor Heikki Saikkonen Advisor: Jaakko Kotim¨akiM.Sc. (Tech.) Configuration management software running on nodes solves problems such as configuration drift on the nodes themselves, but the necessary node configura- tion data can also be utilised in managing network infrastructure, for example to reduce configuration errors by facilitating node life cycle management. Many configuration management software systems depend on a working network, but we can utilise the data to create large parts of the network infrastructure config- uration itself using node data from the configuration management system before the nodes themselves are provisioned, as well as remove obsolete configuration as nodes are decommissioned.
