* Weight: This assignment worth 15% of your final grade.
* <b>Important</b>: You must join and present in the online assessment meeting on the due date to demonstration the required task on your systems (VMs) in order to have your assignment graded.

-->
* VM1 - config two of the three virtual network interfaces the same way as in you did for assignment 1plus the appropriate routing and firewall rules:
** ens192, with IP address assigned by the lab DHCP server (172.20.v.1). DO NOT change the network configuration on this network interface.
** ens224, for connecting to the other three VMs in a private network. Manually assign a private address 192.168.v.1 for this network interface.
** Add routes to route traffic to 192.168.0.0/16 network via your VM1 IP 192.168.v.1
== Hostname, Private IP addresses for the ens224 NIC on each VM ==
* VM1 - 192.168.v.1, router.<yourdomain>.ops
* VM2 - 192.168.v.2, pri-dns.<yourdomain>.ops
* VM3 - 192.168.v.3, co-nfs.<yourdomain>.ops
* VM4 - 192.168.v.4, rns-ldap.<yourdomain>.ops
 
== DNS Servers Setup ==
Based on what you have done for assignment 1, you should have the following DNS servers:
* VM2 - primary DNS server for your domain's forward and reverse lookup zone
* VM3 - caching only DNS server that uses the root name server(s) for our OPS535 Virtual Lab environment
* VM4 - root name server that provides DNS name delegation of each student's registered domain to their primary DNS servers.
== Basic Services ==
* You email server must be configured to check the SPF (sender policy framework) of other domains for incoming email and reject emails that are violating the sender policy.
* Configure your pri-dns server to implement and provide the SPF protection for your assignment domain.
* DNSSEC Configuration (Bonus 10%)** Configure your pri-dns server to implement and provide the DNSSEC records for your assignment domain.
**Provide the administrator for your top domain (The root name server operator(s)) with a copy of the DS key for your domain. If you have not already done so, include the glue record as well.
**Configure a DNSSEC Trust Anchor so that your co-nfs server considers your primary DNS server (the one with the <yourname>.ops zone) to already be authenticated.
== Supporting Services ==
You need the following services and network infrastructure to support your Internet Email System (some of which should have been configured in assignment 1):
* pri-dns (VM2) must be the primary DNS name server for your domain updated with the proper MX record(s), SPF record(s), A record(s), and PTR record(s). It must be queriable by any machines in the 192.168.0.0/16 network.
**Provide the root name server operator(s) of the <yourname>.ops domain with glue records for your domain.
* co-nfs (VM3) must be a the caching DNS server, accessible only to machines in your networks, that will start its query with the root name server(s) in the virtual lab (e.g. rns-ldap.rdu6.ops (192.168.6.4), rns-ldap.wsu15.ops (192.168.35.4)), and then the appropriate primary DNS server.* if you are one of the root name server operators, your rns-ldap (VM4) must provide authoritative responses to any valid DNS queries.** All authorized root name servers in the virtual lab must be queriable response to queries by any network devices from the 192.168.0.0/16 network.
** It must have a copy of the root zone data of the virtual lab.
You also want to monitor the DNS queries your primary DNS server received in a given period of time. Use ip accounting to keep track or log those DNS queries activities. You need to be able to produce the following type of reports:
* total number of packets and total number of bytes received in a given period of time to your primary DNS server.

= Evaluation and Grading =
= Completing the Assignment =
* On the assignment due date on Apr 12, 2021, please attend the online assessment meeting to complete the final task and demonstrate the assignment deliverables as prescribed.
* A script will be posted to blackboard that will allow for you to download to your VMs to capture your configuration and logs. You will run this script on your VMs and upload the output to blackboard after the online assessment is over.
If you have any questions or need any clarification, please email your instructor at least one week before the posted due date.
