OPS535 Lab 2 (using Virutal Lab)

Objectives

  • Setup and configure private network for your assigned VMs in the OPS535 Virtual Lab for this lab, future labs, and assignments
  • Configure VM1 as your control workstation for performing remote administration tasks on VM[2-4]
  • Create and deploy remote administration scripts using bash/ansible

Pre-Requisites

  • Has access to Seneca VPN, and matrix.senecacollege.ca
  • Complete the collection of baseline information on your assigned VMs (VM1, VM2, VM3, and VM4)
  • Complete the Lab 2 - NFS lab on your home VMs

Investigation 1: VMs Configuration

Background

Make sure you have ssh access to your assigned VMs from matrix.senecacollege.ca using the port numbers, user name, and the corresponding password given on Blackboard via the router ops535.myvmlab.senecacollege.ca. The access router (ops535.myvmlab.senecacollege) maps the ports (9xxy) to the corresponding internal IP addresses (172.20.xx.y) of your VMs. Note that 'xx' is you assigned network number, and 'y' is the VM number. The following are the port mapping and the network configuration you should have on each VM. The values shown in the table are for the student with network number '14':

VM Port ens192 ip ens224 ip ens256 ip hostname
VM y 9xxy 172.20.xx.y 192.168.xx.y ---- ----
VM 1 9141 172.20.14.1 192.168.14.1 do-not-use router
VM 2 9142 172.20.14.2 192.168.14.2 none pri-dns
VM 3 9143 172.20.14.3 192.168.14.3 none co-nfs
VM 4 9144 172.20.14.4 192.168.14.4 none rns-ldap

Task 1 : setup and configure VM1

  • ssh to your VM1 from matrix
ssh -p 9141 student@ops535.myvmlab.senecacollege.ca
  • confirm the IP address on the network dev 'ens192'.
  • run the 'nmtui' command under sudo and configure ens224 with the appropriate IP address (192.168.xx.1) as shown.
  • install the 'epel-release' package
  • install the 'ansible' package
  • install the 'git' package
  • install the 'wget' package

Task 2: setup and configure VM2 - VM4

  • ssh from matrix to your VM2 - VM4, replace [2-4] with 2, 3, or 4:
ssh -p 914[2-4] student@ops435.myvmlab.senecacollege.ca
  • confirm the IP address on 'ens192'

Investigation 2: Control Workstation Configuration

Perform the following steps on VM1 as root:

Investigation 3: Scripts for remote administrations

Task 1
