This article provides a detailed solution for all three modules of the competition task in Network and System Administration. Each solution includes sequential steps for successful task completion, making it easy to follow and implement. Let's dive into the specifics of each module.

MODULE A: AUDIT (Variable Module)

Task

Conduct an independent evaluation of the results of a potential colleague's qualification test. Create a report in ODT format, confirming each aspect of the assessment with screenshots and explanations. The audit needs to be thorough and provide actionable insights.

Solution

To successfully complete the audit module, we need to follow a structured approach. This includes setting up the working environment, creating a script to generate the report, running the script, and verifying the final report. Let's break down each step:

  1. Preparing the Working Environment: First, we need to create a directory for the audit report and navigate into it. Then, we install the necessary packages for creating ODT documents, which include Python 3, pip, and several Python libraries.
mkdir ~/audit_report
cd ~/audit_report
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-pip -y
pip3 install odfpy pillow pyautogui

These commands ensure that our system is ready to create and manipulate ODT files, take screenshots, and automate the report generation process. By ensuring all necessary libraries are installed, we can prevent any potential issues during the report generation.
  1. Creating a Script to Generate the Report: Next, we create a Python script named generate_audit_report.py. This script automates the process of generating the audit report. It includes functions to take screenshots, run commands, and create the ODT document with the necessary information.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os

def take_screenshot(filename, region=None):
    """Сделать скриншот экрана или области"""
    time.sleep(1)  # Небольшая задержка для подготовки экрана
    screenshot = pyautogui.screenshot()
    screenshot.save(os.path.join("screenshots", filename))

def run_command(command):
    """Выполнить команду и вернуть результат"""
    result = subprocess.run(command, shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True)
    return result.stdout.strip()

def create_audit_report():

    # Сохранение документа
    filename = f"audit_report_{datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d_%H%M%S')}.odt"
    doc.save(filename)
    print(f"Отчет успешно создан: {filename}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    create_audit_report()

This script uses the `odfpy`, `pillow`, and `pyautogui` libraries to create the ODT report, take screenshots, and automate command execution. The script structures the report into sections with headings, tables, and screenshots, making it comprehensive and easy to review.
  1. Running the Script and Generating the Report: With the script created, we make it executable and run it using Python 3. This generates the audit report in ODT format.
chmod +x generate_audit_report.py
python3 generate_audit_report.py

This step is crucial as it brings together all the components of the script to produce the final report. The script will execute commands, take screenshots, and format the information into an ODT document.

  1. Verifying the Final Report: Finally, we open the generated ODT file to check for the presence of all sections and screenshots. If necessary, we manually make any corrections to ensure the report is accurate and complete.

    This verification step is essential to ensure the report's integrity and accuracy. By opening and reviewing the report, we can catch any discrepancies or missing information.

MODULE B: CONFIGURATION OF TECHNICAL AND SOFTWARE TOOLS ICS (Invariant)

Task

Configure the network infrastructure and services according to the given requirements. This module focuses on setting up the core network services and ensuring proper communication between different components.

Solution

This module involves several subtasks, including basic setup, configuring administrative access with RADIUS, configuring switching, setting up tunnels between offices, configuring routing, synchronizing time, configuring DNS, setting up a certificate authority, setting up a database server, and configuring data storage devices. Let's break each subtask down:

  1. Basic Setup: We start by configuring the device names for all network devices. This ensures that each device has a unique and identifiable hostname.
# For rtr-cod
ssh admin@rtr-cod
configure
hostname rtr-cod.cod.ssa2025.final
exit
copy running-config startup-config

# For rtr-a
ssh admin@rtr-a
configure
hostname rtr-a.office.ssa2025.final
exit
copy running-config startup-config

# For other devices similarly:
# srv1-cod, srv2-cod, fw-cod, sw1-cod, sw2-cod, admin-cod, cli-cod, sip-cod
# dc-a, sw1-a, sw2-a, cli-a, cli2-a

Proper naming conventions are critical for network management and troubleshooting. By setting up hostnames consistently, we can easily identify and manage devices within the network.
  1. Configuring Administrative Access with RADIUS: Next, we set up RADIUS authentication for administrative access. This involves configuring FreeRADIUS on srv1-cod and configuring network devices to use the RADIUS server for authentication.
# Setting up FreeRADIUS on srv1-cod
ssh altlinux@srv1-cod
sudo apt update
sudo apt install freeradius -y

# Editing client configuration
sudo nano /etc/freeradius/3.0/clients.conf

Add to the end of the file:

client network {
    ipaddr = 0.0.0.0/0
    secret = P@ssw0rd
}

# Adding netuser user
sudo nano /etc/freeradius/3.0/users

Add:

netuser Cleartext-Password := "P@ssw0rd"
        Service-Type = NAS-Prompt-User,
        Cisco-AVPair = "shell:priv-lvl=15"

sudo systemctl restart freeradius

# Configuring routers and switches (rtr-cod, sw1-cod, sw2-cod)
ssh admin@rtr-cod
configure
radius-server host 10.10.30.10 key P@ssw0rd
aaa group server radius RADIUS_GROUP
 server 10.10.30.10
exit
aaa authentication login default group RADIUS_GROUP local
aaa authorization exec default group RADIUS_GROUP local 
exit
copy running-config startup-config

RADIUS enhances network security by centralizing authentication and authorization. This ensures that only authorized users can access network devices.
  1. Configuring Switching: This involves setting up VLANs on switches and configuring aggregation between devices to improve network performance and redundancy.
# For sw1-cod and sw2-cod (based on Alt Server with OVS)
ssh altlinux@sw1-cod
sudo apt update
sudo apt install openvswitch-switch -y

# Creating bridge and VLAN interfaces
sudo ovs-vsctl add-br br-vlan
for vlan in 100 200 300 400 500; do
    sudo ovs-vsctl add-port br-vlan vlan$vlan tag=$vlan -- set interface vlan$vlan type=internal
done

# Setting IP addresses for management (VLAN 300)
sudo ip addr add 10.10.30.2/24 dev vlan300
sudo ip link set vlan300 up

VLANs segment the network, improving security and performance. Aggregation, such as LACP, provides link redundancy and increased bandwidth.
  1. Setting up Tunnels between Offices: We configure GRE tunnels between offices to establish secure communication channels. This involves setting up tunnel interfaces on routers.
# On rtr-cod
ssh admin@rtr-cod
configure
interface Tunnel0
 ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.252
 tunnel source <IP of the interface connected to the provider>
 tunnel destination 178.207.179.26  # IP rtr-a
 tunnel mode gre ip
exit
exit
copy running-config startup-config

# On rtr-a
ssh admin@rtr-a
configure
interface Tunnel0
 ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.252
 tunnel source <IP of the interface connected to the provider>
 tunnel destination 178.207.179.2  # IP rtr-cod
 tunnel mode gre ip
exit
exit
copy running-config startup-config

GRE tunnels provide a simple way to create secure connections between networks over the internet.
  1. Configuring Routing: This involves setting up BGP with the provider and OSPF between offices. BGP ensures proper routing to external networks, while OSPF optimizes routing within the internal network.
# On rtr-cod
ssh admin@rtr-cod
configure
router bgp 64500
 neighbor 178.207.179.1 remote-as 31133
 neighbor 178.207.179.1 ebgp-multihop 2
 neighbor 178.207.179.1 update-source <interface connected to the provider>
 address-family ipv4
  network 203.0.113.0 mask 255.255.255.0
  neighbor 178.207.179.1 activate
  neighbor 178.207.179.1 default-originate
 exit-address-family
exit
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Tunnel0
exit
copy running-config startup-config

BGP and OSPF are essential for routing traffic efficiently across different networks and maintaining network stability.
  1. Synchronizing Time: We synchronize the time on all devices using NTP to ensure consistent logging and operation across the network.
# On all devices
sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Moscow

# On Linux devices
sudo apt install chrony -y
echo "server 100.100.100.100 iburst" | sudo tee /etc/chrony/chrony.conf
sudo systemctl restart chronyd

Time synchronization is crucial for many network services and applications, including logging, security, and authentication.
  1. Configuring DNS: This involves setting up DNS servers for both offices to provide name resolution services. Proper DNS configuration is critical for network communication.
# Primary DNS server for the "cod" network (srv1-cod)
ssh altlinux@srv1-cod
sudo apt update
sudo apt install bind9 bind9-utils -y

# Setting up the zone
sudo nano /etc/bind/named.conf.local

Add:

zone "cod.ssa2025.final" {
    type master;
    file "/etc/bind/db.cod.ssa2025.final";
    allow-transfer { none; };
};

zone "30.10.10.in-addr.arpa" {
    type master;
    file "/etc/bind/db.10.10.30";
    allow-transfer { none; };
};

DNS servers translate domain names into IP addresses, making it easier for users and applications to access network resources.
  1. Setting up a Certificate Authority: We set up a certificate authority to issue SSL certificates for secure communication. This is essential for securing web services and other applications.
ssh altlinux@srv1-cod
sudo mkdir -p /var/ca
cd /var/ca
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/ca

# Creating a structure for CA
mkdir certs crl newcerts private
chmod 700 private
touch index.txt
echo 1000 > serial

# Creating an OpenSSL configuration file

[ v3_ca ]
subjectKeyIdentifier   = hash
authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid:always,issuer
basicConstraints       = critical, CA:true
keyUsage               = critical, digitalSignature, cRLSign, keyCertSign
EOF

# Generating a root key and certificate
openssl genrsa -out private/ca.key 4096
openssl req -new -x509 -days 1825 -key private/ca.key -out certs/ca.crt -config openssl.cnf

Certificate Authorities ensure that digital certificates are issued and managed securely, allowing for trusted communication over SSL/TLS.
  1. Setting up a Database Server: We configure a PostgreSQL database server on srv2-cod to provide database services for applications. Proper database setup is critical for data management and application functionality.
# On srv2-cod
ssh altlinux@srv2-cod
sudo apt update
sudo apt install postgresql-17 -y

sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER superadmin WITH SUPERUSER PASSWORD 'P@ssw0rdSQL';"
sudo systemctl restart postgresql

Database servers store and manage data for applications, ensuring data integrity and availability.
  1. Configuring Data Storage Devices: This involves setting up iSCSI targets and initiators, configuring LVM, and setting up NFS shares. These steps ensure that storage resources are properly managed and accessible.
# Setting up iSCSI target on srv2-cod
ssh altlinux@srv2-cod
sudo apt install targetcli-fb -y

sudo targetcli << EOF
