Project Summary

I have a good fundamental understanding of networking but not much hands-on experience, however. The goal of this project is to increase my understanding of networking and specifically how servers’ function, as well as common use-cases for them. This project will also provide the foundation for many more projects to come. In this project, I successfully:

• Built the physical server.

• Flashed the operating system ISO and installed it on the server.

• Got the server up and running.

• Performed updates and patches on the server.

• Hardened the system.

• Enabled remote access for maintenance and control.

• Configured a Network-Attached Storage (NAS).

• Downloaded a hypervisor and an operating system.

• Installed Apache and hosted a webpage.
