Introduction

This lab provides you with the instructions and practical experience to install FreeBSD 7.2 on the row servers and configure two networks, routing tables,  and start the routing daemon.  You are also required to configure primary master and slave name servers for your networks using the previous labs instructions..

		    ifconfig_lnc0="10.100.60.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
		    defaultrouter="10.100.60.254"
		    static_routes="fastpipe slowpipe dialup"
		    route_fastpipe="-net 10.100.10.0/24 10.100.1.10"
		    route_slowpipe="-net 10.100.20.0/24 10.100.1.20"
    

Configure your host with a static IP address:

• Configure your host IP address using row and seat number as a /24 network: 10.100.60.1
• Configure a default route and use 254 for the host portion
• If you have configured your network on the command line using ifconfig and route, you can restart your network with /etc/rc.d/netif restart <device>
• Then you need to restart routing, to apply your default gateway and any other routes you have configured /etc/rc.d/routing restart
• You must make network configuration entries in /etc/rc.conf for subsequent reboots:ifconfig_devicename="10.100.60.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" and an entry for your default gateway defaultrouter="10.100.60.254"

Install and Configure FreeBSD, configure two networks and start the routing daemon on a back row server:

• Install FreeBSD from CD on the server for your row.
• Configure both networks on your server.  The Broadcom network card (bge0) should be connected to the backbone and configured for the 10.100.1.[row#], example 10.100.1.60. The D-Link card (vr0) should be configured as the default gateway for the network that you created for your row, 10.100.[row#].254
• Start routing on your backrow server with /etc/rc.d/routing onestart
• Once again these configurations have been from the command line and will not be saved unless you make entries in /etc/rc.conf. Enable routing with gateway_enable="YES"
• We have configured our server to route or to forward packets between its interfaces, next we have to configure static routes so that it can reach the other networks (rows). We do this by creating labels in /etc/rc.conf: static_routes="row1 row2 row3"
• Next we make an entry for each individual route using the labels that we created: route_row1="-net 10.100.10.0/24 10.100.1.10"
• You will want to configure a default route if you want any packets to be able to leave the backbone. Use the route command to define your default router. Edit /etc/rc.conf to add an entry for a default router. defaultrouter="10.100.1.254"
