Study Notes

Managing Print Jobs

Each print job submitted to the print queue receives a job ID from CUPS.
The lpq command is used to view the print jobs that a user has submitted.
The lpstat command can be used to view printer queues, with the -o option showing all print queues or a specified print queue by name.

Networking Fundamentals

The IP addressing protocol is used at the network layer to enable communication between hosts.
The TCP and UDP protocols carry out communication through network ports at the transport layer.
Ports are identified by a 16-bit field, providing a limit of 65,535 possible ports.
Privileged ports (1-1023) have root access to the system, while non-privileged ports (1024-65535) do not.
IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) standardizes and controls port usage for services.
The /etc/nsswitch.conf file defines the services responsible for providing associations for hosts, such as files and dns.

Hostname Resolution

The /etc/hosts file is a local file that associates IP addresses with hostnames, one line per IP address.
Aliases can be added to the /etc/hosts file to provide alternate spellings or shorter hostnames.
The formatting rules for the /etc/hosts file include separating fields with blanks and/or tab characters, ignoring text from # to the end of the line, and following specific rules for host names.

Network Configuration

systemd-networkd is used to configure network interfaces, and can be configured to use static IP addresses or DHCP.
To use DHCP, the DHCP entry should be used instead of Address and Gateway entries.
systemd-networkd can also be used to configure password-protected wireless networks using WPA supplicant.
The wpa_passphrase command is used to create a credentials file for WPA supplicant.

Network Troubleshooting

The iproute2 command is used to manually configure network interfaces and routing tables.
The iproute2 command is used to debug problems associated with network configuration.
Legacy net-tools commands are still available for use.

Binary Number System

Binary numbers are represented by 0s and 1s, with each bit having a value of 2^n, where n is the power of 2.
To convert a binary number to decimal, calculate the value of each bit (2^n) and add them up.
Example: 10110000 in binary equals 176 in decimal.

Netmask

A netmask is used to determine which part of an IP address represents the network and which part represents the hosts.
A netmask has the same format as an IP address, consisting of 32 bits in 4 groups of 8.
The netmask is used in conjunction with the IP address to identify the network and hosts.

Ports

Ports are used to identify a specific service or process on a network.
There are 65,535 possible ports, with ports 1-1023 being privileged ports and ports 1024-65,535 being non-privileged ports.
Standardized ports are controlled by IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority).
Examples of services and their corresponding ports: SSH (22), HTTP (80), etc.

IPv6 Address Types

Unicast addresses identify a single network interface.
Multicast addresses identify a set of network interfaces.
Anycast addresses identify a set of interfaces, but the packet is delivered to only one address in that set.
The first 64 bits of an IPv6 address identify the network, and the last 64 bits identify the interface.

Differences between IPv4 and IPv6

IPv6 addresses must be protected with [] (brackets).
IPv6 does not implement the broadcast feature, but it can be achieved by sending a packet to the address ff02::1.
IPv6 hosts can self-configure using the SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration) feature.
The TTL (Time to Live) field in IPv4 has been replaced by the "Hop Limit" in IPv6.
All IPv6 interfaces have a local address, called link-local address, prefixed with fe80::/10.

Network Interfaces

Network interfaces are created by the Linux kernel.
Interface management can be done using commands such as ifconfig, ip, ifup, and ifdown.
The ip command can manage many aspects of TCP/IP interfaces, including routes and tunnels.
The ifup and ifdown commands can be used to configure network interfaces based on interface definitions found in the /etc/network/interfaces file.
NetworkManager can automatically connect to available networks and extend its functionalities using plugins.

systemd-networkd

systemd-networkd is a built-in daemon that can manage network connectivity.
Configuration files for systemd-networkd can be found in /lib/systemd/network, /run/systemd/network, and /etc/systemd/network.
Files in /etc have the highest priority, while files in /run take precedence over files with the same name in /lib.
systemd-networkd processes files in lexicographic order, so it is recommended to start file names with numbers to make the ordering easier to read and set.
