CISS-125 Project 1 (10 points)
(Updated 1/24/2019)
You have been given three (3) virtual machines (VMs) in a resource pool that bears your name. Within these VMs, you are to configure the networking and hostnames for each.
Learning outcomes
- Planning and design.
- Enhancing existing virtualization and networking skills.
- VMware guest modifications.
- Installing updates and application software.
For the VMs, the default username/password pairs are as follows:
- Ubuntu: student/student
- Windows Desktop: student/Win10password
- Windows Server: administrator/W2k16password
NOTE: DO NOT CHANGE THE PASSWORDS! Your instructor needs access to these VMs to grade your work.
Networking
You should choose your IPs from the range assigned to you in this document.
Make a chart of the details. You will be submitting this ip/hostname data for review in Blackboard when you have completed this project. You will also need this information for other projects, so it is essential to keep this information handy. When submitting the data please provide in colon delimited form:
ip:hostname
Hostnames
Choose meaningful hostnames. The default Ubuntu hostname is student-vm while the Windows VMs have the randomized hostnames from the installation. For example, you could choose something like:
bill-ubuntu bill-w10 bill-w2016
Windows Server 2016: Change the hostname through the Server Manager Local tab. Select the hostname, select Change, enter the computer name, Select More, set the Primary DNS suffix (domain name) to ciss125.net.
Windows 10: In File Explorer, right-click This PC and select Properties, select Change Settings, select Change, enter the computer name, Select More, set the domain name to ciss125.net.
Ubuntu: As the root user, use gedit to modify the /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts files.
In the /etc/hosts file, change the line that looks most like:
127.0.1.1 student-vm
to look like
192.168.2.XX hostname.ciss125.net hostname
Be sure to substitute your hostnames and your IP information.
