Part A: Network Tools from the Command Line
Perform the following steps to demonstrate a fundamental understanding of some Linux network tools from the command line.
1.Utilize the script command to record this shell session and capture the commands required to complete the assignment, as follows:
script assignment7.2.log
2.From the command prompt, use the ping utility to test the connection to each of the following servers at their indicated address:
ubuntu.com
national.edu
wordpress.com
arin.net
Allow a minimum of five "round-trips" to be displayed for each server pinged before interrupting ping. Notice that not all servers respond to the echo request sent by the ping utility. If you experience such a non-response from any of these servers, replace with one your own choosing, such that you have responses from three of four servers.
3.From the command prompt, use the whois utility to look up information about four separate, and currently existing, domain names of your choosing.
4.From the command prompt, use the host command to lookup the IP address for three separate, and currently existing, domain names of your choosing.
5.From the command line, use the domain information groper utility (you can look up the actual command name yourself) to retrieve information about two separate domains of your choosing.
6.The traceroute utility is not typically installed by default, but you may install it yourself, either by way of the Synaptic Package Manager or the following command line (ref page 519 in textbook):
apt-get install traceroute
Even if you do install the traceroute utility, it may or may not work for you depending on the nature of your Linux machine, whether it is a virtual versus an actual machine, etc.
7.End recording of the shell session as follows:
exit
Part B: Network Tools - GNOME Collection
Invoke the collection of built-in network tools to accomplish each of the tasks from Part A of this assignment. Capture screenshots for just one of the domains indicated by each of the steps in Part A and insert each one into a PowerPoint presentation document in the usual manner. This should result in a presentation document containing screenshots on five separate slides.
