There is a FTP server 192.168.0.254 and all required packages are dumped in /var/ftp/pub of that server and anonymous login is enabled. Install the Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 as an anonymous by creating following partitions:

/ 1000

/boot 200

/home 1000

/var 1000

/usr 4000

swap 2X256 (RAM SIZE)

Answer and Explanation:

Note: Examiner will provide you the Installation startup CD. And here mentioned size may vary see on the exam paper.

1. Insert the CD on CD-ROM and start the system.

2. In Boot: Prompt type linux askmethod

3. It will display the Language, keyboard selection.

4. It will ask you for the installation method.

5. Select the FTP from the list

6. It will ask the IP Address, Net mask, Gateway and Name Server. Select Use

Dynamic IP Configuration: because DHCP Server will be configured in your exam lab.

7. It will ask for the FTP site name and Redhat Enterprise Linux Directory.

Specify the FTP Server: 192.168.0.254

Directory: pub  Because anonymous login on /var/ftp.

8. After Connecting to the FTP Server Installation will start. Go up to the partition screen by selecting the different Options.

9. Create the partition According to the Question because Size and what-what partition should you create at installation time is specified in your question

10. Then select the MBR Options, time zone and go upto package selections.

It is another Most Important Time of installation. Due to the time limit, you should be

care about the installation packages. At Exam time you these packages are enough.

X-Window System

GNOME Desktop

(these two packages are generally not required)

Administration Tools.

System Tools

Windows File Server

FTP Servers

Mail Servers

Web Servers

Network Servers

Editors

Text Based Internet

Server Configuration Tools

There are three Disk Partitions /dev/hda8, /dev/hda9, /dev/hda10 having size 100MB of each partition. Create a Logical Volume named testvolume1 and testvolume2 having a size 250MB. Mount each Logical Volume on lvmtest1, lvmtest2 directory.

Answer and Explanation:

Steps of Creating LVM:

1. pvcreate /dev/hda8 /dev/hda9 /dev/hda10

 pvdisplay command is used to display the information of physical volume.

2. vgceate test0 /dev/hda8 /dev/hda9 /dev/hda10

 vgdisplay command is used to display the information of Volume Group.

3. lvcreate –L 250M –n testvolume1 test0

 lvdisplay command is used to display the information of Logical Volume.

4. lvcreate –L 250M –n testvolume2 test0

5. mkfs –t ext3 /dev/test0/testvolume1

6. mkfs –t ext3 /dev/test0/testvolume2

7. mkdir /lvtest1

8. mkdir /lvtest2

9. mount /dev/test0/testvolume1 /lvtest1

10. mount /dev/test0/testvolume2 /lvtest2

11. vi /etc/fstab

/dev/test0/testvolume2 /lvtest2 ext3 defaults 0 0

/dev/test0/testvolume1 /lvtest1 ext3 defaults 0 0

To create the LVM( Logical Volume Manager) we required the disks having ‘8e’ Linux LVM type. First we should create the physical Volume, then we can create the Volume group from disks belongs to physical Volume. lvcreate command is used to create the logical volume on volume group. We can specify the size of logical volume with –L option and name with -n option.

Raw (Model) printer named printer1 is installed and shared on 192.168.0.254. You should install the shared printer on your PC to connect shared printer using IPP Protocols.

Answer and Explanation:

IPP( Internet Printing Protocol), allows administrator to manage printer through browser so CUPS is called Internet Printing Protocol based on HTTP. We can Install the printer either through: system-confing-printer tool or through Browser.

1. Open the browser and Type on address: http://localhost:631  CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) used the IPP protocol. CUPS use the 631 port.

2. Click on Manage Printer.

3. Click on Add Printer.

4. Type Printer name, Location, Description.

5. Select Device for bb. (Select IPP).

6. Device URL: ipp://192.168.0.254/ipp/ queue name  Same printer name of shared printer.

7. Select Model/Driver RAW printer.

8. service cups restart

Create the partition having 100MB size and mount it on /mnt/neo

Answer and Explanation:

Use fdisk /dev/hda  To create new partition.

Type n  For New partitions

It will ask for Logical or Primary Partitions. Press l for logical.

It will ask for the Starting Cylinder: Use the Default by pressing Enter Key.

Type the Size: +100M  You can Specify either Last cylinder of Size here.

Press P to verify the partitions lists and remember the partitions name.

Press w to write on partitions table.

Either Reboot or use partprobe command.

Use mkfs –t ext3 /dev/hda? Where ? is your partition number

Or

mke2fs –j /dev/hda?  To create ext3 filesystem.

mkdir /mnt/neo

vi /etc/fstab

Write:

/dev/hda? /mnt/neo ext3 defaults 1 2

Verify by mounting on current Sessions also:

mount /dev/hda? /mnt/neo

There are more then 400 Computers in your Office. You are appointed as a System Administrator. But you don’t have Router. So, you are going to use your One Linux Server as a Router. How will you enable IP packets forward?

Answer and Explanation:

1. /proc is the virtual filesystem, we use /proc to modify the kernel parameters at running time.

# echo “1” > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

2. /etc/sysctl.conf  when System Reboot on next time, /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit scripts reads the file /etc/sysctl.conf. To enable the IP forwarding on next reboot also you need to set the parameter.

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

Here 0 means disable, 1 means enable.

You are giving RHCT Exam and in your Exam paper there is a question written, make successfully ping to 192.168.0.254.

Answer and Explanation:

In Network problem think to check:

IP Configuration: use ifconfig command either IP is assigned to interface or not?

Default Gateway is set or not?

Hostname is set or not?

Routing problem is there?

Device Driver Module is loaded or not?

Device is activated or not?

Check In this way:

use ifconfig command and identify which IP is assigned or not.

cat /etc/sysconfig/network  What, What is written here. Actually here are these parameters.

NETWORKING=yes or no

GATEWAY=x.x.x.x

HOSTNAME=?

NISDOMAIN=?

Correct the file

Use netconfig command

Either Select Automatically from DHCP or assign the static IP

Use service network restart or start command

Now try to ping it will work.

Change the root Password to redtophat

Answer and Explanation:

Boot the system in Single user mode

Use the passwd command

Add a new logical partition having size 100MB and create the /data which will be the mount point for the new partition.

Answer and Explanation:

Use fdisk /dev/hda  To create new partition.

Type n  For New partitions

It will ask for Logical or Primary Partitions. Press l for logical.

It will ask for the Starting Cylinder: Use the Default by pressing Enter Key.

Type the Size: +100M  You can Specify either Last cylinder of Size here.

Press P to verify the partitions lists and remember the partitions name.

Press w to write on partitions table.

Either Reboot or use partprobe command.

Use mkfs –t ext3 /dev/hda?

Or

mke2fs –j /dev/hda?  To create ext3 filesystem.

vi /etc/fstab

Write:

/dev/hda? /data ext3 defaults 0 0

Verify by mounting on current Sessions also:

mount /dev/hda? /data
