Background / Scenario
In this activity, you will configure basic server components. The IP addressing configuration is already complete. You will use the Services tab on multiple servers to deploy FTP, Web, Email, DNS, NTP, and AAA services.
Part 1: Configure the FTP Server
Step 1: Activate the FTP Service.
a. Click the Metropolis Bank HQ and then click the FTP/Web server.
b. Click the Services tab and then click FTP.
c. Turn on the FTP service using the radial button at the top.
Step 2: Allow users’ access to the FTP server.
a. Create user account names of bob, mary, and mike, each with the password of cisco123.
b. Each user account should have full permissions (RWDNL) on the FTP/Web server.
Part 2: Configure the Web Serve
Step 1: Activate the HTTP Service.
a. Within the Metropolis Bank HQ, click the FTP/Web server.
b. Click the Services tab and then click HTTP.
c. Turn on both the HTTP and HTTPS services using the radial buttons at the top.
Step 2: Verify the HTTP Service.
a. Click the PC named Sally, and click the Desktop
b. Click the Web Browser. Browse to the website cisco.corp.
c. Within the Web Browser, browse to the IP 44.1.254.
Why would a user be able to browse to an IP address but not a FQDN?
The web browser does not know IP address without DNS to translate the domain name to the IP address.
Part 3: Configure the DNS Server
Step 1: Activate the DNS Service.
a. Within the Metropolis Bank HQ, click the Email/DNS server.
b. Click the Services tab and then click DNS.
c. Turn on the DNS service using the radial button at the top.
Step 2: Create the DNS A records.
a Create the A record cisco.corp with IP address 10.44.1.253. Click Add to save the record.
b. Create the A record cisco.corp with IP address 10.44.1.254. Click Add to save the record.
Step 3: Verify the DNS Service.
a. Click the PC named Sally, and click the Desktop
b. Click the Web Browser. Browse to the website cisco.corp.
Why is the user able to browse to an FQDN?
The DNS server translated the domain name to the associated IP address so the web browser can understand it.
Part 4: Configure the Email Server
Step 1: Activate the Email Services.
a. Within the Metropolis Bank HQ, click the Email/DNS server.
b. Click the Services tab and then click on EMAIL.
c. Turn on both the SMTP and POP3 services using the radial buttons at the top.
Step 2: Create Email accounts for users.
a. Create the domain name of corp.
b. Create user account names of phil, sally, bob, dave, mary, tim and mike, each with the password of cisco123.
Step 3: Configure user Email clients.
a. Click the PC named Sally, and click the Desktop
b. Click Email and enter the following information:
Name: Sally
Email Address: [email protected]
Incoming & Outgoing Email Server(s): email.cisco.corp
Username: sally
Password: cisco123
c. Repeat Step 3b on the PC named Bob but replace the name sally with bob as needed.
Why does the Email service require both SMTP and POP3 to be activated?
SMTP is the protocol responsible for sending emails between servers, and POP is a protocol used by local email clients to retrieve emails from a server.
Part 5: Configure the NTP Server
Step 1: Activate the NTP Service.
a. Within the Metropolis Bank HQ, click the NTP/AAA server.
b. Click the Services tab and then click NTP.
c. Turn on the NTP service using the radial button at the top.
Step 2: Secure the NTP Service.
a. Enable the NTP authentication feature using the radial button.
b. Configure Key 1 with a password of cisco123.
Part 6: Configure the AAA Server
Step 1: Activate the AAA Service.
a. Within the Metropolis Bank HQ, click the NTP/AAA server.
b. Click the Services tab and then click AAA.
c. Turn on the AAA service using the radial button at the top.
Step 2: Configure the AAA Network Configuration.
a. Configure the Client Name HQ_Router with the Client IP 44.1.1 with a secret of cisco123. Click Add to save the client information.
b. Configure the AAA user account of admin with a password of cisco123. Click Add to save the user information.
