4. Installation of Server 2008
1. Pinging Exercise
A subnet mask of 252 (255.255.252.0)in the third octet will open up 4 ip ranges. It will allow ip addresses of 192.168.0 - 4.x. Subnet masks need to be the same to communicate.
2. Setting Up Layer 3 routing
It was important to check the ip address of the computer used to access the switch before moving on to this next step.When an ip is assign to a layer 3 switch, a next gateway needs to be identified to send packets to when the address is not on the local network. The gateway will be the hop to the next router. This will be through port 1.
Our switch was connected to the central switch through port 1. Coolterm was is used to log into the switch to set up vlan 2.
Commands
-> vlan 2 - creates the second VLAN
->ip interface vlan-2 address 192.168.16.254 mask 255.255.0.0 vlan 2
->ip static-route 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 gateway 10.0.1.254
->vlan 2 port default 8/1
->write memory
-> copy working certified
3. Inventory of computers
The computer that we will be setting up Server 2008 on has the following:
Type of Video port(s): S-Video and DVI
Network Interface Card type: MIC 00-10-18-34-8688 E-G021-04-2613 (B)PCI Express BCM5721 gigabit ethernet
NIC Maximum Speed: 1000 Mb/s
Video Interface Card type: ATI Radeon 102 B27602 (B) B276
Motherboard manufacturer: Dell
Computer manufacturer: Dell
Computer: DCSM serial # 73HYLG1
Monitor manufacturer: Dell
Monitor: 1704FPTt
System requirements for Server 2008:
Processor Minimum: 1 GHz (x86 processor) or 1.4 GHz (x64 processor) [Note: An Intel Itanium 2 processor is required for Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems]
Memory Minimum: 512 MB RAM
Maximum (32-bit systems): 4 GB (Standard) or 64 GB (Enterprise and Datacenter)
Maximum (64-bit systems): 32 GB (for Windows Server 2008 Standard) or 1 TB (for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, Windows Server 2008 Datacenter), or 2 TB (for Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems)
Disk Space Requirements: Minimum (32-bit systems): 20 GB or greater
Minimum (64-bit systems): 32 GB or greater
Foundation: 10 GB or greater [Note: Computers with more than 16 GB of RAM will require more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files]
Display: Super VGA (800 × 600) or higher resolution monitor
Other: Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
4. Installation Windows server 2008
Begin by pressing F12 and booting from the DVD Drive
Installation options
The standard (full) setup only recognizes 4 GB of ram
The enterprise (full) install will recognize more then 4 gb and will allow for upgrading. Either install will work for our circumstance as we will not be upgrading ram. We went with Enterprise installation.
Here are some other difference in installation.
The server IP was standardized across all networks - 192.168.x.50. Ours is 192.168.16.50.
Changing Registered Owner and Organization is done through the Registry Editor
-navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows NT -> CurrentVersion
Document: Change registered owner and registered organization
The Device Manager showed that 3 devices were in need of drivers.
