Introduction

In order to help junior network engineers learn how to set up their systems, we created a training module that walks them through the process of installing and configuring Syslog, NTP and NAT. The paper should include both details and screenshots that serve as examples of what the junior network engineer will be seeing as they perform the training module.

Setting NTP

Install NTP Server:

Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory in which you would like to install the NTP server. Type the following command:

sudo apt-get install ntpdate

Create a new file named “configure-ntp” with nano text editor. Fill it out as follows:

Setting Syslog

Set Syslog Server IP Address and Port.

Install syslog-ng: $ sudo apt-get install syslog-ng

Set the server IP address: sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/syslog-ng/*

Append a line to each file with your IP address, then save and close them (e.g., 192.168.1)*.

Setting NAT

Network Address Translation (NAT) is a mechanism that allows multiple private networks to share one public IP address. This can be used for security, routing and NAT translation.

NAT translation is the process of mapping an internal IP address to an external IP address. When you set up your router or firewall with NAT enabled, it will create a NAT table on the fly which maps your computer’s local network interface (for example: eth0) with its corresponding external interface(s): * You’ll see something like this: + ==== ==== ==== ==== + * The first column contains the internal addresses (1-99). These are what you want to use when accessing other computers on your local network. * The second column contains their translated versions listed as four separate addresses separated by commas.

See the steps to setting NTP, Syslog and NAT.

You can also see the steps to setting NTP, Syslog and NAT.

NTP: To set up your local time server, open a terminal window in your home directory (on Linux: $HOME/.config/ntp) and type in ntpctl settime server 0.pool.ntp.org iburst where you replace 0 with your own unique server address and pool name (see [1] for more information). For example: ntpctl settime server 0.pool.ntp.org iburst

Syslog: To enable syslog service on Linux systems use /etc/sysconfig/syslog file as shown below:

Conclusion

We hope this paper helped you learn more about setting up NTP, Syslog and NAT. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out!
