    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.
