Standardizing IP Addresses in a Network

National Institute of Science & Technology

• Domain Name System (DNS) Server

– Used to assign names to IP addresses.

– Easier to remember names than numbers.

– It maintains a database for storing names and numbers.

Enabling Access to Other OS

National Institute of Science & Technology

• Network File System (NFS)

– Standard for sharing files and printers on a directory with Linux
and Unix computers.
– It uses three services:
• Portmapper-manages the remote procedure call (RPC) connections,
which are used by protocols such as NFS.
• Nfsd -It translates NFS requests into actual requests on the local file
system.
• Mountd -It services the requests for mounting and unmounting file
systems.
