==Attendance==<br />
After the first class meeting formal attendance will not be taken; however, students are expected to arrive to class on time and participate in class. If attendance is a problem participation assignments may be given and included in the course grade. If you are unable to attend class for some reason you should contact the instructor as soon as possible, before class if you can. Students with ongoing attendance problems, who have been warned, may receive a failing grade for this class. If you never attended, an “FN” grade will be reported. If you stopped attending, an “F” grade will be reported.<br />
<br />
==Academic Dishonesty (Plagiarism and Cheating)==<br />
It is unacceptable to submit the work of another person as your own. If you quote, summarize, paraphrase, or use the ideas of another, you must accurately attribute that information. If you do not acknowledge the source, you are plagiarizing. Academic dishonesty also includes unauthorized collaboration on academic work; taking, acquiring, or using test materials without faculty permission; submitting the same assignment for multiple classes without instructor permission; taking an examination for another person and many other situations. If you are unsure whether you are plagiarizing or how to cite a source please ask an instructor or staff member for help.<br />
<br />
In this course, the first offense of plagiarism and/or cheating will result in a score of zero on the assignment, quiz or test and reporting of the incident to college administration. Further plagiarism and/or cheating may result in a failure of the course and additional consequences determined by college administration. In addition, plagiarism and cheating are covered by the Student Code of Conduct. Please see the Catalog or IHCC website for details.<br />
<br />
==Incomplete Grade and Withdrawal Information==<br />
Students must initiate requests for either an incomplete grade or withdrawal from a course by filing the appropriate form with Enrollment Services. Students who stop attending classes without completing the withdrawal process may receive a grade of “F,” and are responsible for all tuition/fees associated with the course registration. Please see the current Class Schedule or Catalog for details.<br />
<br />
==E-mail Communications==<br />
Recognizing the value and efficiency of communication between faculty/staff and students through electronic mail Inver Hills Community College has designated e-mail as an official mode of communication. At the same time, email raises some issues concerning security and the identity of each individual in an email exchange. Therefore, students are asked to regularly check and utilize their university provided email address for this course. The instructor will only respond to mail from IHCC provided accounts. <br />
<br />
==ADA Statement==<br />
Reasonable accommodations that make sure that all materials, discussions, and activities that are part of this course are accessible will be provided students with physical, sensory, cognitive, systemic, and psychiatric disabilities. To discuss accommodations for this course, please visit the Disability Services Office (L224) or contact by phone (651-450-8628 or TTY 651-450-8369) and contact the instructor.<br />
<br />
==Religious Accommodation Statement==<br />
Inver Hills strongly supports the principles of free expression and respect for the diversity of beliefs, including religious observances, among our academic community. It is the policy of the college to provide reasonable accommodations for students when religious observances conflict with classroom activities or course requirements. It is the responsibility of students to inform instructors in a timely fashion of such conflicts. If a mutually agreed accommodation is not possible, students may initiate an appeal. The procedure for this appeal is the same as the Grade Appeal Policy described in the Catalog and on the IHCC website.<br />
<br />
==Student’s Right to Know==<br />
Policies on Harassment and Discrimination, Crime Awareness and Campus Security Report, Drug- and Alcohol-Free Campus, Student Conduct, and Academic Honesty are available on the IHCC website. Inver Hills has established policies and procedures to handle violations in a timely manner.<br />

=Course and Campus Policies=<br />
==Attendance==<br />
After the first class meeting formal attendance will not be taken; however, students are expected to arrive to class on time and participate in class. If attendance is a problem participation assignments may be given and included in the course grade. If you are unable to attend class for some reason you should contact the instructor as soon as possible, before class if you can. Students with ongoing attendance problems, who have been warned, may receive a failing grade for this class. If you never attended, an “FN” grade will be reported. If you stopped attending, an “F” grade will be reported.<br />
<br />
==Academic Dishonesty (Plagiarism and Cheating)==<br />
It is unacceptable to submit the work of another person as your own. If you quote, summarize, paraphrase, or use the ideas of another, you must accurately attribute that information. If you do not acknowledge the source, you are plagiarizing. Academic dishonesty also includes unauthorized collaboration on academic work; taking, acquiring, or using test materials without faculty permission; submitting the same assignment for multiple classes without instructor permission; taking an examination for another person and many other situations. If you are unsure whether you are plagiarizing or how to cite a source please ask an instructor or staff member for help.<br />
<br />
In this course, the first offense of plagiarism and/or cheating will result in a score of zero on the assignment, quiz or test and reporting of the incident to college administration. Further plagiarism and/or cheating may result in a failure of the course and additional consequences determined by college administration. In addition, plagiarism and cheating are covered by the Student Code of Conduct. Please see the Catalog or IHCC website for details.<br />
<br />
==Incomplete Grade and Withdrawal Information==<br />
Students must initiate requests for either an incomplete grade or withdrawal from a course by filing the appropriate form with Enrollment Services. Students who stop attending classes without completing the withdrawal process may receive a grade of “F,” and are responsible for all tuition/fees associated with the course registration. Please see the current Class Schedule or Catalog for details.<br />
<br />
==E-mail Communications==<br />
Recognizing the value and efficiency of communication between faculty/staff and students through electronic mail Inver Hills Community College has designated e-mail as an official mode of communication. At the same time, email raises some issues concerning security and the identity of each individual in an email exchange. Therefore, students are asked to regularly check and utilize their university provided email address for this course. The instructor will only respond to mail from IHCC provided accounts. <br />
<br />
==ADA Statement==<br />

Mid-Term grades are not officially distributed but assignment scores are made available in the online grade book and you may calculate your current course grade at any time using the above instructions and weighting.<br />
<br />
==Extra Credit==<br />
Students should not rely on extra credit to boost their grade and should instead complete each assignment to the best of their ability. However, from time to time extra credit opportunities may arise at which time they will be announced in class, by email and/or through the course website. Extra credit will be added to the Lab/Homework Assignments category.<br />
<br />
=Course and Campus Policies=<br />
==Attendance==<br />
After the first class meeting formal attendance will not be taken; however, students are expected to arrive to class on time and participate in class. If attendance is a problem participation assignments may be given and included in the course grade. If you are unable to attend class for some reason you should contact the instructor as soon as possible, before class if you can. Students with ongoing attendance problems, who have been warned, may receive a failing grade for this class. If you never attended, an “FN” grade will be reported. If you stopped attending, an “F” grade will be reported.<br />
<br />
==Academic Dishonesty (Plagiarism and Cheating)==<br />
It is unacceptable to submit the work of another person as your own. If you quote, summarize, paraphrase, or use the ideas of another, you must accurately attribute that information. If you do not acknowledge the source, you are plagiarizing. Academic dishonesty also includes unauthorized collaboration on academic work; taking, acquiring, or using test materials without faculty permission; submitting the same assignment for multiple classes without instructor permission; taking an examination for another person and many other situations. If you are unsure whether you are plagiarizing or how to cite a source please ask an instructor or staff member for help.<br />
<br />
In this course, the first offense of plagiarism and/or cheating will result in a score of zero on the assignment, quiz or test and reporting of the incident to college administration. Further plagiarism and/or cheating may result in a failure of the course and additional consequences determined by college administration. In addition, plagiarism and cheating are covered by the Student Code of Conduct. Please see the Catalog or IHCC website for details.<br />
<br />
==Incomplete Grade and Withdrawal Information==<br />
Students must initiate requests for either an incomplete grade or withdrawal from a course by filing the appropriate form with Enrollment Services. Students who stop attending classes without completing the withdrawal process may receive a grade of “F,” and are responsible for all tuition/fees associated with the course registration. Please see the current Class Schedule or Catalog for details.<br />
<br />
==E-mail Communications==<br />
Recognizing the value and efficiency of communication between faculty/staff and students through electronic mail Inver Hills Community College has designated e-mail as an official mode of communication. At the same time, email raises some issues concerning security and the identity of each individual in an email exchange. Therefore, students are asked to regularly check and utilize their university provided email address for this course. The instructor will only respond to mail from IHCC provided accounts. <br />
<br />
==ADA Statement==<br />
Reasonable accommodations that make sure that all materials, discussions, and activities that are part of this course are accessible will be provided students with physical, sensory, cognitive, systemic, and psychiatric disabilities. To discuss accommodations for this course, please visit the Disability Services Office (L224) or contact by phone (651-450-8628 or TTY 651-450-8369) and contact the instructor.<br />
<br />
==Religious Accommodation Statement==<br />
Inver Hills strongly supports the principles of free expression and respect for the diversity of beliefs, including religious observances, among our academic community. It is the policy of the college to provide reasonable accommodations for students when religious observances conflict with classroom activities or course requirements. It is the responsibility of students to inform instructors in a timely fashion of such conflicts. If a mutually agreed accommodation is not possible, students may initiate an appeal. The procedure for this appeal is the same as the Grade Appeal Policy described in the Catalog and on the IHCC website.<br />
<br />
==Student’s Right to Know==<br />
Policies on Harassment and Discrimination, Crime Awareness and Campus Security Report, Drug- and Alcohol-Free Campus, Student Conduct, and Academic Honesty are available on the IHCC website. Inver Hills has established policies and procedures to handle violations in a timely manner.<br />

<hr />
<div>Inver Hills Community College will grant credit equivalencies to the information technology courses listed based on certification exam results that meet the following criteria:<br />
<br />
[[File:Ben.jpg]]<br />
<br />
# Exam is administered by Pearson VUE, Thomson/Prometric or a future authorized industry certification testing company. Certification results are confirmed directly from certifying agent (e.g., Cisco, Microsoft, CompTIA) through mail, secure website or other means initiated by the certifying agent. The student is responsible for making arrangements to provide this documentation.<br />
# The certification exam is based on outcomes and objectives that correspond substantially to the content being taught in current courses. In cases where the current course content is based on technology that is substantially different from the certification exam taken by the student, credit will not be granted. Students my retake exams to qualify for credit equivalency.<br />
# In the case of certifications with expiration dates the certification is not expired. In the case of individual exams or certifications without expiration dates the exam taken is the most current version.<br />
<br />
'''The table below is a general guideline of common course equivalencies and does not assure the academic credit will be granted for specific exams.''' Exams vary in content and structure over time and may not measure the current outcomes and objectives of a course; in such cases, credit cannot be given for current courses. A faculty member from the CNT department will review all credit equivalencies for CNT courses and determine whether the exam taken or certification obtained substantially corresponds to the course.<br />

== Cacti ==<br />
Cacti is graphical representation of network traffic over a device. It can be used to monitor network traffic over individual ports to all together usage. It can be installed in the windows enviroment or you may install it on a Unix-Linux based OS. Cacti can be found at [http://www.cacti.net Cacti.net] and also more information provided.<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
For this installation we will be installing cacti on a Ubuntu virtual box system.<br />
*Step 1. You will need to install three dependicies for cacti you will need RRdTool, Apache2, MySQL with apt-get or aptitude.<br />
[[File:Install_rrdtool.JPG]]<br />
[[File:installrrd.JPG]]<br />
*Step 2. Install Cacti using apt-get or aptitude.<br />
[[File:icacti2.JPG]]<br />
*Step 3. Go into the Apache2 folder and change the configuration file /etc/apache2/apache.conf with nano or any text editor. At the end of the file add the line: Include /etc/cacti/apache.conf<br />
[[File:Apacheconf.JPG]]<br />
*Step 4. In the crontab you will need to create a new task. You can edit this by: nano /etc/crontab . In here you will add a task by putting in this line: * /5 * * * * Root /www/php/bin/php /www/htdocs/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1<br />
[[File:crontab.JPG]]<br />
*Step 5. On the switch you will have to enter these basic commands. You can add more like an access list but this is just the basics. First you will need to configure the Vlan you will be operating on. Then you will need to be in configure terminal. Enter logging trap debug. Then enter logging (ip address of cacti). Then enter snmp-server community (Community Name) ro. Now your switch should be set.<br />
[[File:switchcmd.JPG]]<br />
== Usage ==<br />
*To use cacti you will first need to know where it is on your network. To get the cacti server's IP address in the Linux server type ifconfig.<br />
[[File:ifconfig.JPG]]<br />
*Now you will be prompted to login. The default login is admin/admin.<br />
[[File:login2.JPG]]<br />
*To configure the devices over on the left side if you are on the console tab there will be a link that is called devices. On this page you will have to set the name for the device. The device's IP address. The Host Template which is the type of device you are going to monitor. The SNMP community is group name you gave to the SNMP permissions on the device. Then click save.<br />
[[File:devices.JPG]]<br />
*To change the settings for cacti click the settings link on the left side menu of the console tab. You will need to change the SNMP version you are using on the devices. The SNMP community is the group you assigned the SNMP logging to on the device.<br />
[[File:settings.JPG]]<br />
*To create the graphs you will need to go New Graphs on the left menu on the console tab. This is pretty much up to you and how you want it to show and look for.<br />
[[File:creategraph.JPG]]<br />
*Here is a picture of our attempt to view traffic on the room switch, but the laptop we used was a school one and kept crashing so thats the reason for low activity spots.<br />

<hr />
<div><br />
== Steps to setting up a VPN on a Ubuntu server ==<br />
<br />
So you are brave enough to venture in the installing and configuring of a VPN but do not fear this page can give you a head start. ''what is a VPN?'' well it is creating a tunnel from one network to another over the internet in a private LAN. once it is setup you will be able to access computers or servers as if you were at a local network. VPN can become a very useful tool for a person dealing a lot of work over a remote connection that is secure. this guide will give step by step information on installing Openvpn on a Ubuntu Linux server and setting up a basic client.<br />
<br />
1. First '''install''' the openvpn software with the command.<br />
<br />
''aptitude install openvpn''<br />
<br />
*all of the files will be located in the:<br />
<br />
''/etc/openvpn''<br />
<br />
2. to make things easier you can '''copy the dir "easy-rsa"''' from the samples dir to the current dir of "/etc/openvpn".<br />
<br />
''cp -R /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/ ./''<br />
<br />
3. after copying the easy-rsa dir switch to ''easy-rsa/2.0/'' where we will build the Certificates of Authority with some scripts provided.<br />
<br />
4. '''edit the vars file''' and add in information for KEY_COUNTRY, KEY_PROVINCE, KEY_CITY, KEY_ORG, and KEY_EMAIL parameters. save and exit out back to ''easy-rsa/2.0/''.<br />
<br />
''Nano vars''<br />
<br />
*then after you edit the file use the command ''source vars''<br />
<br />
5. now we are going to run some scripts starting with the '''clean-all'''<br />
<br />
''./clean-all''<br />
<br />
*followed up by the<br />
<br />
''./build-ca''<br />
<br />
*the text showing up should look somewhat like this<br />
[[File:keyinfo.jpg]]<br />
<br />
*this picture will not look 100% like your printout based on the facts that you changed the country, city etc from the vars file, and the '''CA key''' is finished.<br />
<br />
6. time to make the '''server key''' with the script<br />
<br />
''./build-key-server server'' <br />
<br />
*you will be prompted the same message as above but you will have the added '''Sign the Certificate''' which you want to say yes.<br />
<br />
7. the last key required is the '''client key''' and is created by doing<br />
<br />
''./build-key client1''<br />
<br />
*this will create a key for the first client and if you want more just name it "client2" for the next one. also don't forget the get the client key signed. you should have created 3 keys for CA, server, and client1 at this point.<br />
<br />
8. the DH(Diffie Hellman) parameters need to be genterated for the OpenVPN server<br />
<br />
''./build-dh''<br />
<br />
[[File:keydh.jpg]]<br />
<br />
*this really does take a long time depending on the machine so take a bathroom break or something.<br />
<br />
9. after all that you are ready to copy all those keys you have created and transfer them to a client computer. if you are having problems finding a way to copy the files think about using Filezilla and connecting to the server to the 22 port.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Configuring the server and clients ==<br />
<br />
1.this part can get kinda crazy on editing the text files for each system. making this easier on ourselfs we will copy the sample configuration files from the download to make life easy. take note that the '''server.conf''' file is zipped.copying the files to the /etc/openvpn dir.<br />
<br />
''cp /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/sample-config-files/server.conf.gz ./<br />
''<br />
*then for client configuration<br />
<br />
''cp /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/sample-config-files/client.conf ./''<br />
<br />
*unzipping the server.conf file with<br />
<br />
''gunzip server.conf.gz''<br />
<br />
2.since we moved all the certificates around we now need to edit the server file to point to the right location to access the certificates.<br />
<br />
''nano server.conf''<br />
<br />
*scroll down a bit until you reach the part that looks like this:<br />
<br />
''ca ca.crt''<br />
<br />
''cert server.crt''<br />
<br />
''key server.key''<br />
<br />
*editing them to look like or where you have all the keys located.<br />
<br />
ca '''/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/'''ca.crt<br />
<br />
cert '''/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/'''server.crt<br />
<br />
key '''/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/'''server.key<br />
<br />
*then do the '''same for''' ''DH dh1024.pem'' which should only be a few lines below.<br />
<br />
3. then you can continue to configure the '''client.conf''' file as well to use for another Linux machine or use a windows client. you will just need to update the keys locations in the configuration file and change the ip address to the server. there are ton of configurations in the files so you can play around with what you need.<br />
<br />
4. testing the server to see if it is working by turning it on with the command inside the /etc/openvpn/ location.<br />
<br />
''openvpn server.conf''<br />
<br />
*if everything worked as planned a bunch of text will flash the screen and end with '''initialization sequence completed''' meaning its working : ). the server that is.<br />
<br />
*also take note that a new network card has been added to the options in the servers interfaces file. the new interface will be ''TUN0'' which will be the tunneled connection.<br />
<br />
5.testing the client side in Linux on a different system by typing this command and don't forget to copy all the files needed.<br />
<br />
''openvpn client.conf''<br />
<br />
*if the gods are on your side and a '''initialization sequence completed''' statement shows up on the client it worked!<br />
<br />
*for a Windows client you will be creating a logical Network card called something like ''TUN'' in the network places.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Problems with not connecting ==<br />
<br />
*There can be a huge range of problems with a VPN not working heck even i didn't make it but i was close. problems such as ports being blocked, Windows XP being a pain or not having both the networks talking is a never ending cycle of playing with the configuration files until something works. by reading this page will give anyone a jump start on creating your own VPN.</div>Ciscodude4lifehttps://wiki.ihitc.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Openvpn&diff=2101Openvpn2010-05-12T19:49:28Z<p>Ciscodude4life: Guide on setting up OpenVPN</p>
