2. Make sure that you have the client and server components for NFS, NIS, and DNS on the three new VMs. Install any missing software if they are not already installed as specified in the following paragraphs. The three VMs must provide support for local and network (using NIS) user accounts. After a successful login, a network user should get the same execution environment all the time and be able to access all the files he/she had previously created on your network.
3== VM network configuration, server requirements =====DNS Servers===*You need three DNS servers for this assignment: Primary, Caching-only, and Root Name server:** The Primary DNS (running on VM pri-dns, IP:192. Network Configuration168.x.53) is authoritative for your domain.** The Caching-only name server (running on co-nfs, IP: 192.168.x.153) which allows DNS queries only from hosts in your network. The firewall on your host should allow only this caching name server setupto send DNS queries to root name servers in the lab.** The Root Name server (running on VM rns-nis, IP: 192.168.x.253), which is authoritative for the root zone. You should create the root zone file from the information here. You could download the shell script here and configuration requirement:run it on your system to generate the necessary resource records for the root zone. You need to add additional appropriate resource records to complete it. You will get 10% bonus mark if you run a root name server on a Raspberry Pi.

4. Once all = Grading ===System configuration settings 40% of the assignment ==On the three VMs described above are up and runningdue date, you will be asked given a set of scripts, which should be run on each VM to collect server configuration information. The scripts will produce an evaluation report for you to perform any of the upload to blackboard. The following activitiesinformation may be collected:* Network Settings* Services configuration* Firewall settings* Local user accounts* RPC Client services* Portmapper registry* etc...
Add a new host entry to your DNS server, to provide both forward and reverse lookup queries. Add a new user to your NIS Domain Remove a user from your NIS Domain Login to any one of the three VMs using the newly created network user account. Login to any one of your three VMs from any machines in the lab using the newly created network user account. Troubleshoot NFS, NIS, DNS, RPC, and portmapper problems. For examples: server service not running, configuration file not setup properly or being corrupted, broken network connection, etc. You may be asked to perform a reboot test 5. Grading System configuration settings: On the due date, you will be given a set of scripts, which should be run on each VM to collect server configuration information. The scripts will produce an evaluation report for you to upload to blackboard.
