Networking Project

Overview

In this project, imagine you are a software engineer / sysadmin at a company and you receive 3 customer tickets triaged to you. It’s your job to read each ticket and diagnose the issue using common Linux networking tools.

See the tickets here.

You do not need to worry about the contents of the Dockerfiles or Docker Compose files.

Note

You may see an issue related to undefined symbol: EVP_MD_CTX_get_size_ex on Ticket 2. This is related to an open upstream bug, but you can reason about the bug by examining the config file.

Requirements

You will need Docker installed on your machine. See Get Started with Docker.

Write Up (15 points each x 3 tickets)

For each ticket, write a one paragraph (8 sentences max) bug report containing:

• A brief description of the issue (2 points)
• Steps you took to reproduce the issue (4 points)
• What tools you used to diagnose the issue — you must include the specific commands run and why (4 points)
• What is the issue? (5 points)

You must use a tool covered in class or in the networking notes to receive credit.
