Server Documentation: network.england

System Overview

  • Hostname: network.england
  • IP Address: 192.168.0.197
  • Primary Role: Core Network Services (DNS, DHCP, and Virtual Switching)
  • Filesystem: Btrfs (Subvolume Optimized)

Core Infrastructure Services

This node serves as the authority for the internal network's identity and addressing.

Service GroupSystemd UnitDescription
DNS (Primary)named.serviceBIND9 Domain Name Server handling internal name resolution.
DHCPv4kea-dhcp4-server.serviceKea IPv4 DHCP daemon for dynamic address assignment.
DHCPv6kea-dhcp6-server.serviceKea IPv6 DHCP daemon.
DHCP Managementkea-ctrl-agent.serviceControl agent for managing Kea DHCP services.
DDNSkea-dhcp-ddns-server.serviceHandles dynamic DNS updates between Kea and BIND.

Network Virtualization and Discovery

  • Open vSwitch: ovs-vswitchd.service and ovsdb-server.service manage software-defined networking and bridging within the host.
  • Samba: smbd.service and nmbd.service provide NetBIOS name resolution and SMB/CIFS support.
  • Avahi: avahi-daemon.service provides mDNS/DNS-SD for ZeroConf networking.

Automation and Maintenance

  • Infrastructure Wake: (22:50) wake_db_server. Triggers a Wake-on-LAN event for the database server.
  • Consolidated Maintenance: (08:05) morning_maintenance.sh. Handles ping checks and package audits.

Configuration Paths (Sensitive Data)

The following directories contain the live configurations for this server. While these paths are tracked for structural documentation, the files themselves are excluded from version control to protect network privacy.

  • BIND9 (DNS) Configs: /etc/bind/
    • Contains forward and reverse lookup zone files for england.local.
  • Kea (DHCP) Configs: /etc/kea/
    • Contains JSON configuration files for DHCPv4/v6 scopes and reservations.
  • Open vSwitch: /etc/openvswitch/
  • Samba Config: /etc/samba/smb.conf
