List and Describe the 5 Different DNS Records
1. A record (IPv4) is a HOSTNAME to IP Address mapping used for FORWARD NAME RESOLUTION (Name Resolution) for IPv4 2. AAAA record (IPv6) is a HOSTNAME to IP Address mapping used for FORWARD NAME RESOLUTION for IPv6 3. PTR record (pointer record) is used for DNS reversed name resolution (IP Address to HOSTNAME mapping used for REVERSE NAME RESOLUTION) 4. cName record (canonical Name) is used to create HOSTNAMEALIASES to IP Address mapping in the DNS used for FORWARD LOOK UP ZONE eg. Hostname – PCI (IP Address 192.168.2.4) – A record & CNAME = Mike (IP Address 192.168.2.4) - Cname Record 5. MX record (Mail Exchange record) is used to identify an email in the LAN (Microsoft Exchange Email Server)
35
What happens if DNS does not create an A record?
If DNS does not create an A record for a system then the system will not be able to connect with other systems using a HOSTNAME A hostname will not work to map drive to system B if there is no A record mapping it to an IP address
36
What is a Layer 3 Switch?
LAYER 3 SWITCHES: - Includes switch, router, DNS, Default Gateway, DHCP For a Layer 3 Switch, the DHCP Server, DNS and Default Gateway will all have the same IP address because they are all part of the same unit (layer 3 switch)
37
List the 5 DNS Records
1. A records 2. AAAA records 3. Pointer Records 4. MX Records 5. cName records
38
List the 5 DNS Records
1. A records 2. AAAA records 3. Pointer Records 4. MX Records 5. cName Records
39
What is an AAAA (4A) record?
AAAA (4A) record: - - It is a hostname to IP Address mapping for IPv4
40
What is stored in the Forward Lookup Zone of the DNS Server?
A and AAAA records are stored in the FORWARD LOOKING ZONE of the DNS server
41
What is a Forward Name Resolution?
Forward Name Resolution | It is a Hostname to IP Address resolution
42
What is a Reverse Name Resolution?
Reverse Name Resolution | It is an IP address to Hostname resolution
43
Describe how DNS stores records in the Forward Lookup Zone from when the DHCP sends out a broadcast request signal?
Where are the records stored? 1. DHCP sends a broadcast Request Signal to all systems in the LAN 2. It then assigns IP addresses or Network Configuration settings for all systems in the LAN. 3. Every system in the LAN that is configured by the DHCP will have an A or AAAA record (or both). 4. These records are generated in the DNS when the local systems register themselves with the DNS server after receiving their Network Configuration settings from the DHCP 5. These records are stored in the FORWARD LOOKING ZONE of the DNS server
44
How does DNS get A records?
When a local system registers with the DNS after receiving its network configuration settings from the DHCP
45
What is a DHCP Request Broadcast?
DHCP Request Broadcast: - It is a signal sent to all systems in a LAN by the DHCP requesting
46
What are Network Configuration Settings?
Network Configuration Settings:- are generated by the DHCP for every system in the LAN. They include an IP address, MAC address, Default Gateway IP address,
47
What is the difference between a P2P and a Domain?
A domain deals with a client server and a P2P Network deals with workgroups not connected to a client server Peer to Peer Network 1. It is a group of systems connected together sharing data without a central server involved 2. Systems within P2P Network talk and exchange information but have no server
48
List and Describe the 2 Types of DOmains?
DOMAINS 2 Types of DOMAINS 1) Local Domain – It is a group of systems connected together sharing information controlled by a central server called a Domain Controller – A domain admin manages the domain controller – Local domain prefix – "domain name.local" – What is the prefix of a local domain? .local 2) Public Domain – It is created by a domain hosting company and is used to host websites and web applications – Public domain prefixes - .com, .org, .net, .info, .gov – Most popular public domain hosting companies – godaddy.com or Bluehost

``` DHCP Scope It is the range of IP addresses that an be assigned to network system by DHCP - IP SCOPE Starting IP: - 192.168.2.10 - Ending IP: - 192.168.2.200 ``` IP of 4th octet ---- 1 to 254 possible = 2^n-2 Assign IP Addresses outside scope to Network routers, DHCP, etc DHCP Reservations - When you tell DHCP to always assign a specific IP address to a specific System - Still a dynamic IP address but it is reserved - Is a Reserved IP Address dynamic or Static? - Dynamic - Static IP Address: It is assigned by admin and remains permanent whether at work or at home - Dynamic IP Address: It is assigned by DHCP and changes - Reserved IP Address: - Will always be assigned when at work but changes at home - No one else will get this IP Address even if user is away IMAGES IMAGES Default Gateway address is your local IP Address assigned by DHCP VPN (Virtual Private Network) – ISP still collects your data Public IP assigned by ISP   TCP/IP (Transport Control Protocol /Internet Protocol) TCP (Transmission or Transport Control Protocol) : - It is considered a data transporter. It transmits data from one system to another IP (Internet Protocol): - It is considered a data carrier TCP (Data Transporter) What is the Difference between TCP and UDP? TCP is connection oriented because it establishes a connection between sender and receiver before data is sent. This makes it more secure and slower. Retransmission possible. UDP is a connection that does not establish a connection before sending data making it faster, and not reliable. Retransmission is not possible with UDP transmission WINSCP: It works with TCP and IP to transmit information TCP/IP Troubleshooting Tools Or Networking Troubleshooting Tools WINDOWS COMMANDS 1. Ipconfig a. Displays limited network configuration information 2. Ipconfig /all a. Displays detailed network configuration information (all) b. For example, it displays DNS, Default Gateway, DHCP lease, and DHCP information 3. Ipconfig /release a. It will drop an IP Address of a system b. This system will drop off the internet or LAN c. Using /release/renew will cause system to lose IP Address, and connection to the server to download if in the middle of a download (may prefer /flushdns if halting internet or halting download would be a problem) 4. Ipconfig /renew a. It will request a new DHCP IP Address for a system 5. Ipconfig /flushdns a. It clears DNS information from the RAM b. It clears DNS information in the RAM cache which will force DHCP to create a new DNS c. This would help you in a situation where DNS 1 is down and need to use DNS2 backup d. Either reboot or use this command to delete all DNS information when you cannot reboot (like for a server) e. In Business setting usually create primary and secondary DNS so when one goes down use the other one f. Google Free DNS servers: Google 8.8.8.8 or Google 8.8.4.4 – They will resolve public hostnames only and not local hostnames. These are used as secondary DNS which will serve as a backup when DNS is down g. IMAGES h. IMAGES 6. Ping a. It is a tool used to test or check for connectivity between 2 network systems b. It checks if your system is connecting to my system? Or the internet? Or the DNS server? c. For example when you ping Google.com should get response with google Ip address ping 7. Up arrow a. It will recall the previous command line b. Same in LINUX/UNIX systems in Bash shell 8. Nslookup (Name Server Lookup) a. It is used to query the DNS database for information in the database 9. Nslookup a. It will search the DNS Database for the IP address associated with the hostname b. A forward lookup is performed in DNS involving an A record c. Hostname to IP Address is a forward Lookup involving a A record 10. Nslookup a. It will search the DNS database for the hostname associated with IP Address b. A Reversee lookup is performed in DNS involving a PTR (pointer) Record c. IP Address to Hostname is a reverse lookup involving a PTR record 11. Arp -a a. It displays an arp table or current ARP entries 12. cls a. It clears command line in Windows 13. clr a. It clears command line in LINUX/UNIX 14. arp /a a. It displays the arp Table or current ARP entries 15. arp /v a. It displays the arp Table or current ARP entries in verbose mode b. Admin level 16. inet addr a. Specifies internet addresss 17. N if addr a. It displays the ARP entries for the network interface 18. Ipconfig /allcompartments a. It displays the information about all compartments 19. Ipconfig /allcompartments /all a. It displays the detailed information about all compartments 20. Tracert a. It is used to display the path of traffic flow or flow of traffic from sending system to the receiving system across a maximum of 30 routers or hops b. Pronounced Trace it c. You cannot trace them if they are in the cloud (Cloud does not have backbone problems (central support to rest of the system) d. Tracert Output looks like: 1 8ms 10ms 8ms Fios (192.168.2.1) 21. Non authoritative answer This is when the response is not an admin response but a receiving system answer “Server Unknown” response which comes with an IP address is likely due to a firewall Bandwidth:- Maximum rate of transfer of data across a given path or medium Bandwidth issue: - When bandwidth provided limits the amount and speed of data transfer slowing down information access ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) a. It maps IP Addresses to MAC addresses MAC ( Media Access Control) or Hardware address or ethernet address or Physical address a) A MAC address is a unique alphanumeric (uses number as and letters)address assigned to a network device by the vendor b) Phone has a MAC address c) NIC, router or switch has MAC address How do you get a Mac Address of a System? a) Search bar/Command Prompt/arp -a (check arp table) b) If not there, ping system then arp -a it will display MAC address How do you display an ARP table in Windows? Search bar/ Command Prompt/Arp -a Output IP Address MAC address Type 192.168.56.255 ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff Static How do you display or trace path of traffic flow? a) Search bar/Command Prompt/tracert Troubleshoot Networking Problem: If the Folks in NY cannot connect, is the server down? HQ MD Webserver IP: - 10.7.8.7 1. Ping NY IP Address (10.7.8.7) a. If you get a response, then network is not down 2. Call field office in GA a. Yes can access network 3. Call NY Field office a. Cannot Access Network b. So what is the problem? 4. Tracert 10.7.8.7 (NY IP Address) a. Tracert drops in NJ field office (see error message: Request Timed Out) b. If get timed out but continues to receiving system then that means a firewall is not releasing the information c. If it just stops at field office then problem may be at that field office 5. Call NJ Field Office a. Let you know Verizon down in area b. Call Verizon. Get Ticket #: 344AC3 c. Find dour how soon problem will be resolved from Verizon d. Create in-house ticket e. Always be thorough PING a. It is a tool used to test or check for connectivity between 2 network systems b. Even if we get one response out of 4 requests it is a positive ping c. If you can ping a system, then it is not a network connectivity issue d. Sometimes lose packets when you ping because of internet traffic congestion (means it takes forever for signal to get to receiver) IMAGES IMAGES A positive ping: a) It is when the receiving system responds to a ping request from the sending system b) It receives replies and a positive round trip information from receiving system A negative ping: - a) It is when the receiving system does not respond to a ping request from the sending system Negative Ping Response Types: 1. Request timed Out for all 4 requests 2. Destination host Unreachable for all 4 requests ICMP (Internet Connection Messaging Protocol): It is responsible for transmitting ping traffic Typical Ping Response Reply 8.8.8.8 bytes =32 time 7ms TTL =54 Bytes =32 – Amount of data sent Time -=7ms - Time it took to respond (returning time) TTL (Time to Live) a) It is the maximum time allows for the receiving system to respond to the ping signal before it is dropped by the sending system eg TTL = 54ms – means it will be dropped after 54 ms b) It is set by system based on the internet traffic IP Addressing IP Address: - It is a number that is assigned to a system in a network by the DHCP or Admin that enables it to communicate with other systems in the network If system Admin assigns an IP Address, it is STATIC When DHCP assigns an IP Address, It is DYNAMIC If it is a reserved IP Address, It is still DYNAMIC Recommendation: System Hardware (eg Routers, Switch, Default Gateway) should be given only STATIC IP Addresses TYPES OF IP ADDRESSES Type Main Description IPv4 It has about 4.7 billion IP addresses. It is made up of only numbers. Ipv6 It has about 340 undercillion IP Address. It is made up of alphanumeric (both numbers and letters) What is Undercillion? Million Billion Trillion Quatrillion Quintillion Sextillion Septillion Octillion Nonillion Decillion Undecillion What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses? IPv4 1. It is made up of only numbers 2. It has no inbuilt security 3. It is faster and that’s why it is used by System Admins 99% of the time as have enough Ipv4 addresses for a LAN 4. Structure of IPv4: X.X.X.X (where x is a number) IPv4 is……For example, 192. 168. 2. 1 4 Octets Octet Octet Octet Octet 32 bits 8 bits 8 bits 8 bits 8 bits 1 byte 1 byte 1 byte 1 byte 1 byte 5. It is a 32 bit number assigned to a network system by an Admin or DHCP server in order to allow the system to communicate to LAN IPv6 1. It has 128 bitalphanumeric IP addresses (have numbers and letters) 2. It has a lot more IP Addresses than IPv4 (only numbers) 3. It has an inbuilt security called IPSEC 4. It is more secure and slower in data transmission due to security overhead included in IPv6 5. It is mostly used by ISPs (internet Service Providers) 6. Mainly dealt with by Cisco Adminss who go into details into IPv6 and its structure 7. How do you disconnect an IPv6 address? a. Search bar/Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network & Sharing Centere/Change adaptor settings/Right Click NIC/Properties/Disconnect or unselect IPv6 IPv4 Classes Helps you troubleshoot Ip related issues Classes First Octet Range X.-.-.-. eg 192.1.1.1 Subnet Mask Function Class A 1-126 255.0.0.0 Used for computers LOOPBACK ADDRESS (reserved for Loopback Address) 127 127.0.0.1 N/A It is referred to as the local host. It is used to troubleshoot the Ip Stack of a system eg Windows or LINUX Class B 128-191 255.255.0.0 Used for computers Class C 192-223 255.255.255.0 Used for computers Class D 224-239 N/A Used for Broadcasting and Multicasting Class E 240-255 N/A Used for Research Broadcasting: - It is sending something to every system in a network Subnet Mask: 1. it is used to separate the network address portion from the host address portion 2. The IP address has 2 parts a. Network address portion which is always STATIC (defines the LAN address) b. Host address portion which is always dynamic 3. The IP address can only be separated by subnet mask ONLY SYSTEMS WITH SAME NETWORK ADDRESS CAN TALK TO EACH OTHER. !!! This is important for troubleshooting Networking issues !!! Examples: NOTE:255s in subnet mask determine Network address and 0s determine the Host address First Octet determines Class CLASS B 172 168 2 4 IP Address 255 255 0 0 Subnet Mask Network address: 172.168 Host Address: 2.4 ``` CLASS A 10 3 7 1 IP Address 255 0 0 0 Subnet Mask Network address: 10 Host Address: 3.7.1 ``` ``` CLASS C 192 168 2 10 IP Address 255 255 255 0 Subnet Mask Network address: 192.168.2 Host Address: 10 ``` IMAGES IMAGES 192. 168.2.10 192.168.2.11 WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? 255. 255.255.0 255.255.255.0 192. 168.2.12 255. 255.0.0 192. 168.2.10 192.168.2.11 WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? 255. 255.255.0 255.255.255.0 192. 168.2.12 255. 255.0.0 PC Web Configurations Network Address NOTES 1 192.168.2.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.2 Able to connect to PC2 only. Same network address. 2 192.168.2.11 255.255.255.0 192.168.2 Able to connect to PC1 only. Same network address. 3 192.168.2.12 255.255.0.0 192.168 Cannot connect to PC1 and PC2 because it has a different network address (not in the same network) and needs a router to connect Subnet mask set by Admin as Admin sets up DHCP and tells it what Class IP address is so DHCP will keep same network address for all assigned IP addresses For example, it will keep all first 3 octet numbers for Class C and only change 4th octet CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routers) 1.

What is the OSI model?
OSI MODEL a. What is the OSI model? The Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI model) 1. It is a conceptual model created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that enables diverse communication systems to communicate using standard protocols. 2. It provides a standard for different computer systems to be able to communicate with each other. 3. The OSI model is a universal language for computer networking, 4. It is based on the concept of splitting up a communication system into 7 abstract layers with each one stacked upon the last. 5. It is a set of standards or rules put together by the ISO to help developers build Oss that can talk to each other 6. It is a standard that facilitates the communication of different computer systems
121
OSI MODEL additional
Nightmare for these systems to talk to each other The Reason for the OSI Model is to help different OSs communicate with each other via a single protocol called TCP/IP Protocol that was built out of OSI model is TCP/IP. Due to TCP/IP different operating systems can talk to each other Open System Interconnect – systems can openly interconnect with each other due to the OSI model
122

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TCP AND UDP?
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TCP AND UDP? 1. Transmits Critical Data - TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)(TCP) 1. Broadcasts ( sends signal to all systems in network) non- critical data eg DHCP request (needs broadcast) - UDP (User Data Gram Protocol)(UDG) 2. It is reliable and will guarantee transmission of data from sending to receiving system TCP 2. It is not reliable and will not guarantee Data transmission from sending system to receiving system UDP 3. Slower at transmitting Data than UDP. TCP is slower due to a lot of overhead mechanisms such as 3 Way Handshake, Error detection and Correction (CRC), and Flow control mechanism (windowing) 4. UDP - Faster at Transmitting Data than TCP 5. It is a connection oriented protocol and hence performs a 3 way handshake between the sending and the receiving systems before data transmission TCP 5. It is a connection less oriented protocol and does not perform a 3 way hand shake before data transmission UDP 6. TCP comes with a built in error detection and correction mechanism called CRC ( Cyclic Redundancy Check) 6. UDP has no built in detection and correction mechanism 7. TCP comes with a built in flow control mechanism called “Windowing” 7. Comes without a flow control Mechanism 8. Able to retransmit data (get all of it or you will not get anything) 8. Not able to retransmit data (like a radio broadcast) 9. Work at the Transport Layer - TCP 10. Work at the Transport Layer - UDP
126
What is a 3 Way Hand Shake?
Three Way Handshake 3 Way handshake occurs before a session is established (link established between 2 systems) When 2 systems are about to talk to each other using TCP. 1. The sending system sends a SYN signal to the receiving system 2. Receiving System sends a response with an ACK/SYN signal to the sending signal 3. Then sending system sends an ACK (acknowledgement) to the receiving System before sending data If a 3 way handshake is not successful then TCP data is not sent ACK - Acknowledgement SYN – Signal? 1. Sending Signal sends signal to receiving system saying “are you there” – SYN signal 2. Receiving System responds to the Sending system saying “I am there”- ACK/SYN Package (Acknowledgement) 3. Sending system sends signal to receiving system saying “ok I am sending data now” - ACK
127
What is CRC?
CRC(Cyclic Redundancy Check): - It is an error detection and correction mechanism of TCP CRC check means it counts the packets in the segment and tallies it and labels it and once it gets to the receiving system (the TCP in receiving system will verify if all packets were received or matches CRC tally by performing another TCP check). If it matches, it will send it forward. If it does not match, it will not send it forward to the application layer but requests a resend from sending TCP. TCP will never send partial information. It has to be 100% or TCP will never send it. If it fails for a while it will stop sending.

What is Windowing?
Windowing is the flow control mechanism that comes with TCP. It regulates data flow in TCP. Will not send a window until it is done with 1st window.
129
Describe TCP Segments and IP Packets
TCP is protocol for Transport layer which uses segments (Segments are full of data in the form of IP packets (data carriers) that have the data). TCP will bundle it in segments and sends it across to receiving system
130
List some TCP operations?
TCP operations: - map drive, network,
131
UDP additional notes
UDP is used for hacking by sending a fake broadcast that overwhelms the network leading to a Denial of service attack
132
What is a correction oriented protocol?
Connection Oriented Sending System must send a message and receive response from the receiving system before data is transported
