Short Answer
1. Describe the difference between a network administrator and a system
administrator:
o A network administrator is responsible for managing and maintaining the
network infrastructure, including routers, switches, firewalls, and ensuring
connectivity across devices and the internet. A system administrator focuses on
managing and maintaining the computer systems and servers within the network,
including installing software, patching, monitoring system performance, and
handling user accounts and permissions.
2. Write the duties of a system administrator:
o Install, configure, and maintain operating systems and software
o Ensure security measures are implemented (firewalls, antivirus, etc.)
o Manage user accounts and permissions
o Perform regular backups and data recovery
o Monitor system performance and troubleshoot issues
o Install and maintain network hardware and services
o Ensure server uptime and availability
3. What is the command used to create groups?
o On Linux/Unix: groupadd <group_name>
4. What is the command used to change groups?
o On Linux/Unix: usermod -g <group_name> <user_name>
5. What are the commands that can be used to add users to a group?
o On Linux/Unix: usermod -aG <group_name> <user_name>
6. The difference between a server-based network and a peer-to-peer network:
o A server-based network uses a centralized server to manage resources, users,
and permissions, ensuring better control, security, and scalability. A peer-to-peer
network allows direct communication and resource sharing between devices,
without the need for a central server, and is typically used in smaller, less
complex networks.
7. Write the IP address [Link] mask [Link] in CIDR notation:
o [Link]/26
8. Assume Classful Addressing is used. a) Computer A has IP address [Link].
What class is it?
o Class A
b) Computer B has IP address [Link]. Are A and B on the same network?
o NO (The network addresses differ)
c) Is the computer with the following IP address on the same network as A?
o 00010001 11010011 01010000 00000000
o YES (The first three octets match the network portion of A's IP)
9. From this IP address [Link]/28, answer the following questions:
o A. Subnet Mask: [Link]
o B. Network address: [Link]
o C. Broadcast address: [Link]
o D. First Network address: [Link]
o E. Last Network Address: [Link]
