Assignment title: Network
Part 2 - Practical 1) You are required to configure and test a DHCP server to provide IP Address and related configuration parameters to a client computer. Set up a pool of DHCP addresses from 192.168.15.30 to 192.168.15.50, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.15.1, DNS Primary Server of 192.168.15.1, default lease time of 3 hours and maximum lease time of 6 hours. Test the operation of your DHCP server using an external client requesting a DHCP lease. [10 marks] 2) Capture and describe the network activity occuring between the client and DHCP Server. On your Linux computer use a packet sniffer to capture network traffic, then analyse and describe the overall DHCP lease allocation process, and describe the detail in each packet. [5 marks]. Submitt a learning diary for these activities in which you should include: Your DHCP configuration, including copies of the underlying DHCP server configuration files; Screenshots from your client device validating the operation of the DHCP server; Details and analysis of the packet capture; What you did; What problems you encountered and how you solved them; How much time you spent on each part of the exercise. Rationale This assessment item is design to test your assess your progress towards meeting subject learning outcomes 1, 3 and 6; assist you to develop your learning of the priciples covered in topics 1-10 of the subject; knowledge of the details of network service technologies; ability to apply problem-solving techniques; ability to find credible information sources and apply them; ability to write clearly and concisely; and ability to correctly reference information sources. Marking criteria Part 1. This part is a series of multiple choice questions. Each correct answer will score 1 mark. Marks will not be deducted for incorrect answers. Part 2.
