*Final Exam is 40% of the total mark for the class

Title: Network Administration Project

Overview: Students in groups of at most five (5) members will be required to build, document, and demonstrate a TCP/IP network, configured with essential network services and additional enhancements.

Criteria for assessment:

1. The network and its services work as intended.

2. The report documents the system and indicates a correct understanding of how the network components fit into the whole.

Note that all screenshots must include the Student Name e.g., the hostname, email address, or logfile entries. Anonymous screenshots and heavy reliance on screenshot fragments that do not show personalization provide insufficient evidence, and the maximum mark for the configuration is 4/10.

Due dates: Week 11: Document Format

IMPORTANT: All parts of the assignment must be completed using the current Linux distributions: Rocky Linux (Red Hat clone) for the server and Ubuntu for the client configuration.

Assignment Tasks:

You are tasked with building a fully operational server system using Rocky Linux within VirtualBox. This involves configuring the appropriate network settings, installing and setting up the Apache server, establishing the Network File System (NFS), and implementing SSL for secure web communications.

In addition, you will set up a client system using Linux Ubuntu to interact with the server. The objective is to create a server-client environment that effectively meets the needs of a small organization.

Note: Must Install a Virtual Box on your machine and create a virtual machine running Rocky Linux (Server) and Ubuntu Linux (Client) before commencing the assignment task.

For each of the following tasks, you must provide relevant screenshots of your command and output with an appropriate explanation.

A. Network Configuration Requirements:

• Setting up/Changing Hostname on server and client using FQDN.

• Setting a static IP address on the server side (Rocky).

B. Network File System (NFS) configuration.

• Set up NFS on the Rocky server and demonstrate its functionality by configuring the Ubuntu client to show it working from the client side.

General Guideline and steps for NFS server:

• Make a shared NFS directory.

• Grant NFS access.

• Exporting the NFS directory.

• Restart the NFS server.

• Installing NFS client on Ubuntu Linux.

• Testing NFS share by creating a mount point on the NFS client system. • Provide evidence of successful NFS between client and server.

C. Apache Web Server Configuration:

• Install and configure a web server using Apache on the server machine. Configure the webserver to host multiple basic websites that can be accessed by the Ubuntu client on the local network.

General Guidelines and steps for a web server:

• Install Apache Web Server

• Configure Apache

• Create Website Directory

• Create Sample Index.html File

• Enable Virtual Host and Modules

• Restart Apache

• Access the Website

D. Configure a Certificate Authority (CA) for the web server.

General Guideline and steps for CA:

• Installing OpenSSL or any SSL program.

• Preparing a Public Key Infrastructure Directory

• Creating a Certificate Authority

• Distributing your Certificate Authority’s Public Certificate

• Provide evidence of successful HTTPS and secure email between client and server

E. Explore and configure one additional service that was not discussed or completed during the lab session. The selected service must be comprehensive and should be tested from the Ubuntu client.

Group Documentation Guidelines

1) Cover

2) Submission title: SNA Network Administration Project

3) Table of contents for each chapter/section

4) Table of workload matrix/task distribution

5) Tasks write-up content: each task must be in a separate chapter 6) Conclusion

Submission Requirements

1. Online submissions via Moodle. Separate submission links will be provided in Moodle. 2. Submissions must be in Microsoft Word format with Times New Roman font size 12 and in 1.5 line spacing justified.

3. Submissions need to be well presented. Submissions that are unprofessional in their look (disorganised, inconsistent, not in chapters/sections) will not fare well when marks are allocated.

4. Every submission must have a front cover. The front cover should have the following details:

a) Name(s) /and TP number(s)

b) Intake code, Module code and name

c) Submission title

d) Date assigned (the date the submission was handed out)
