* If your professor is '''Murray Saul''': 26 February8 March, 2016 (in class)

* Assign the a newly-created virtual network the name: '''asg1net''', and set '''forwarding to any physical device'''<br>(refer to [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/OPS335_Installation_Lab#INVESTIGATION_2:_VIRTUAL_MACHINE_INSTALLATION lab setup]. You can have have 2 different network names: "asg1net" and "ops335" without causing any problems).

== source Create a "Cloning Source" VM (asg1net Virtual Network) ==

Create a virtual machine that you will use as a template (i.e. a '''cloning source'''). It should have a command-line interface only interface. Configure it to be a good cloning source. Since every other machine in this network will be cloned from , making certain it - you should set it up has all the following elements prior to be pleasant to use.cloning:

# Don't make the virtual drive too big - : you'll will need space for it and as well as space for the clones you make from it. your cloning source<br>(2GB should be enough for anything any cloning source and clone VM that you do in create for this assignment).# Log in and run some commands Make certain that you expect can login to be there, and make sure they're installed (your cloning source. The minimum commands neededrequired are: '''host''', '''dig''', '''netstat''', '''links)'''.# Don't Do not install software here that on your cloning source: you'll only need in one of the are expected to install other software on your "cloned " VMsinstead. E.g. For example, if you're going are required to install apache bind in a clone - , install it there, not in the clone as opposed to the "cloning source - since you don't want apache installed everywhere".# Configure your network with a static configuration. See Refer to the table below for IP address and hostname.# Make sure certain that you have '''iptables ''' services enabled and running instead of ''Firewalld''. The default rules should suffice.# If you have created a regular user when you installed the machine - , delete that regular user. You'll (you are to use only have the root leftaccount).# Set up an SSH server on this machine"cloning source". Make sure that the root account is only allowed permitted to log in using key authentication. Other If user users are required to be created later, they should still be able permitted to log in with a their username/and password.# Generate a new key pair on your host Host Machine (don't delete the existing one), called : '''id_rsa_asg1'''# Make sure you can log in from your regular user on the host your Host Machine to root on the "cloning source" virtual machine using specifically that key.# Do not place the that newly-generated private key on the "cloning source" VM.

== Clone "ns1 " VM from "Cloning Source" &amp; Perform Setup Tasks==

Clone Perform the souce to create a machine that will be your master DNS server on following steps for this network. See the table below for address and hostname.section:

Your #Create a clone called: '''ns1''' from the "cloning source" that will act as your '''master DNS server''' on the '''asg1net''' network. Refer to the table below for address and hostname.#Make certain that your DNS server must have has all the records for the zone called: '''ops335a1.org ''' listed in that table, including records for machines that don't do not exist as of yet. It's is important to understand that DNS records live independently from the machines that they are "pointing " to.#A default setup for a master DNS server should be sufficient, but make certain that the address of your '''admin contact''' is: '''yoursenecaid@ops335a1.org''', and that slave DNS servers will check for updated records from this master every 30 minutes.

A default setup for a master DNS server is mostly enough, but make sure the address of your admin contact is yoursenecaid@ops335a1.org, and that slave DNS servers will check for updated records == Clone "ns2" VM from this master every 30 minutes."Cloning Source" &amp; Perform Setup Tasks ==

Clone #Create a clone called '''ns2''' from the souce to create a machine cloning source that will be act as your '''slave DNS server ''' on this the '''asg1net''' network. See Refer to the table below for address and hostname.#The '''ns2''' machine will serve the same records as '''ns1'''.

ns2 will serve the same records as ns1. == Reference Materials: List of Machines / DNS Records ==

== Create a Test Plan ==

Write a test plan with at least 5 test cases to verify that you've completed Perform the assignment according to specifications.It doesn't need to be exhaustive but the test cases you pick should represent successful completion of the majority of the requirements.following steps:

#Create a test plan (Libre Office, MS Word, etc) with '''at least 5 test cases''' to verify that you've completed the assignment according to specifications. A good starting point would be to view the test plan that you used in the second DNS lab.<br>'''NOTE:''' These test plans that you create are not required to be exhaustive, but they should successfully demonstrate the completion of this assignment's requirements.<br><br>#The document that you are required to submit in should be exported into the PDF format needs . You are required to submit only the PDF document (along with required screenshots - refer to "Assignment Submission" section).#This document is required to look appear professional even though we're (although you are not using a "dedicated " testing platform. Hopefully you can start with the test plan you created for the lablike in industry).

= Submit Assignment Submission =

Submit the following in Blackboard , Moodle, or Moodle (whatever your professor usesspecifies in class or "class announements" (For Murray Saul, also send these in an e-mail (subject line: OPS335 assignment1) with the following attachments):

# '''Screenshots (of the entire screen, not just the VM console) that show ''' to demonstrate you have accomplished the required tasksfor this assignment. <br>This includes : '''configuration files''', '''service statuses''', and '''basic tests of functionality'''.''' NOTE: You MUST take screenshoots of the ENTIRE screen as opposed to only the VM console'''.# The Your '''test plan''' in '''PDF''' format.

*Demonstrate working assignment to your instructor in class:**Also you need to show your assignment to the professor in a lab period, just as a (like you would for any lab but please for "sign-off"). This requires you to prepare everything ahead of time so that you can immediately show quickly demonstrate to your instructor that all required parts of your assignment are working.
