Allt fler företag kopplar upp sig mot Internet och använder sig av en s k brandvägg för att skydda sitt interna nätverk gentemot omvärlden. Brandväggens uppgift är, något förenklat, att endast släppa igenom tillåten trafik. Då vissa företag utsätter sig för större risker genom att använda sig av osäkra tjänster som t ex Telnet skulle det hjälpa dessa om man gjorde en undersökning av vad litteraturen rekommenderar rörande osäkra tjänster samt hur företag hanterar problemet i dagsläget. För att ta reda på detta gjordes en litteraturstudie samt en enkätstudie. Vi konstaterar att det råder enighet i litteraturen om att Telnet bör särbehandlas gentemot icke osäkra tjänster och helt blockeras om den inte behövs samt sammanställde ett flertal rekommendationer rörande Telnet. Resultatet visar att vissa brandväggsadminstratörer följer delar av litteraturstudiens rekommendationer, men att ett flertal inte gör någonting för att få Telnet säkrare. Undersökningen visar även hur brandväggsadministratörerna har löst problemet med Telnet.

Ett verktyg har utvecklats i programmeringsspråket Python, som analyserar status för uppkopplingar hos Fibre to the X (FTTX)-kunder i Telias nät. Systemet består av en moduluppdelad struktur, där alla analysfunktioner av samhörande typer är uppbyggda i egna moduler. Alla moduler lagras som individuella kodfiler. Systemet är designat för att enkelt kunna vidareutvecklas genom att tillägga fler analysmoduler i framtida projekt. För att utföra en analys på en specifik kund, hämtar systemet tekniska dataparametrar via den switch som kunden sitter uppkopplad mot. Dessa parametrar jämförs därefter med förbestämda värden för att hitta avvikelser. Simple network management protocol (SNMP) och Telnet är de primära protokollen som används för att hämta relevant data. Systemet har enbart Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) som input och output. Resultatet av en analys, redovisas som Extensible Markup Language (XML) mot den server som ursprungligen ställde förfrågan till att starta en analys. XML svaret innehåller både tekniska dataparametrar kring kundens uppkoppling samt ett analyssvar baserat på dessa tekniska parametrar. Utförligheten i svaret på en utförd analys varierar en aning beroende på switchtypen kunden sitter uppkopplad mot. Switchar av äldre hårdvarutyper presenterar generellt sett mindre kundportsdata jämfört med modernare varianter. Mindre kundportsdata leder till sämre utförlighet i analyssvaret. Därför lämpar sig detta analysverktyg bättre mot de modernare switcharna som finns i Telias nät. / A tool for analyzing the status of Fiber to the X (FTTX) customers in Telia’s network has been programmed in the Python programming language. The system consists of a module divided structure where analysis functions of similar types are bundled into module files. The system is designed to be easily further developed by adding more analysis modules in future projects. To perform an analysis on a specific customer, the system retrieves technical data parameters from the switch which the customer is connected to, and compares these parameters against predetermined values to find deviations. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Telnet are the primary protocols used to retrieve data. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is used to transfer data as system input and output. The result of an analysis is sent as Extensible Markup Language (XML) back to the server that originally requested the start of an analysis. The XML reply contains technical data parameters describing the customer’s connection status and an analytical response based on these technical parameters. The amount of data presented in the XML response varies slightly depending on the type of switch the customer is connected to. Switches of older hardware types generally presents less customer port data compared to more modern switches. Less customer port data leads to poor detail in the analytical response, and therefore, this analysis tool is better suited to the modern switches found in Telia's network.

The main aim of the master thesis was to create an application for backbone network configuration management. The priority of the application was to be effective and easy to take. Program has to be able to communicate with network devices by remote control and to download and upload configuration files. The program has enable also availability verification for remote control. For this purpose the ICMP protocol was used. The remote control is provided by telnet protocol and the protocol TFTP has been chosen for file tranfers providing. The application is a multithreading application based on the Java programming language. The Java graphic library Swing was used for GUI creation. The application supports file versioning, the configuration of the program can be saved as a text file, which can be easy changed by user. The program and its features are described in the second part of this thesis. The first part deals with theoretical facts about the IP networks and remote control of the Cisco backbone network devices.

This work deals with design of PC remote control, which is able to control computer with operating system Windows and Linux using Wifi connection. There was also created necessary support software for both operating systems. Communication was secured by ciphering algorithm.

The diploma thesis ’Virtualization of Operating Systems’ deals with a general description of virtualization technology and briefly discusses its use cases and advantages. The thesis also mentions examples of different types of virtualization technologies and tools, including more thorough description of the two technologies used for measurement: Docker and KVM. The second part of this thesis descibes the preparation, installation and configuration of all the tools and services that are necessary for measurement of the influence of the aforementioned virtualization technologies on network services running on the virtual machines, including analysis and discussion of the resulting data. Moreover, a custom application for fully automated measurement of the parameters of network services was created, and is also described in this thesis. The conclusion of this thesis summarizes and discusses the achieved results and acknowledges the influence of virtualization on network services, where the Docker application containers, which are with their low overhead comparable to a "bare" system without any virtualization, managed to achieve much better performance results than the traditional virtual machines on KVM.

Managing large quantities of aging nodes can be as burdensome and daunting task to an administrator. This is the reality for operation administrators and technicians working with Telias older xDSL network where linecards in nodes behaves irreguarly after a long uptime, resulting in faulty connections for the customers. One of the tasks is simply to restart these linecards when a customer or a technician files a complaint if the uptime of the linecard is an issue. This project aims to solve this issue by using scripting to take inventory of the linecards in the nodes and the corresponding uptime for these linecards. By storing this information in a database one can then query the database about wich linecards that are in need of a restart, before the customer experiences any trouble. By automating some of these manual management tasks with scripting, one can free up more time for personnel to handle other duties, as well as saving resources and cost for maintenance. / Att administrera stora mängder utav åldrande noder kan vara en betungande och skrämmande uppgift. Detta är verkligheten för driftpersonalen och teknikerna som arbetar med Telias äldre xDSL-nätverk där linjekort i noder beter sig oregelbundet efter en lång upptid, något som resulterar i bristfälliga anslutningar för kunderna. En av uppgifterna är helt enkelt att starta om dessa linjekort när en kund eller tekniker lämnar in klagomål om upptiden för linjekortet är ett problem. Detta projekt har som mål att lösa denna problematik genom användandet av scripting för att inventera linjekorten och dess motsvarande upptid. Genom att lagra denna information i en databas kan en sedan fråga databasen angående vilka linjekort som är i behov av omstart, innan kunder upplever problem. Genom att automatisera vissa av dessa manuella administrativa sysslor genom script kan en frigöra tid för personalen att utföra andra sysslor samt att spara in resurser och kostnader för underhåll.

Can we reduce disturbance, swing, and errors by delegating some of the tasks to a subsystem on the tool hanging from a drone to gain precision and dependability? This project covers developing and implementing a user-controlled prototype with an automatic control system and gripper for functionality and controlled movement in 5 DOF. AirForestry is developing a new way of working in the forestry business to provide a greener and healthier solution for the soil and the environment. The forestry industry emits approximately one million tons of CO2 per year from heavy diesel-fueled vehicles. With a renewable energy battery-powered drone of a diameter of 6.2 m and a hanging harvesting tool, they can significantly improve the environmental impact of forestry. The harvesting tool has an automatic control system and is user controlled to perform the thinning and cutting of trees. The main focus is to use IMU sensor data to produce accurate angle estimation to control the stability of a scaled prototype and to implement physical restrictions to make it able to be attached safely and tested on a drone but not limit the controlled mobility of the prototype with a system independent of the control system of the drone itself. The user can control the attitude and elevation and receive real-time sensor data wireless during operation. With the intended spacing of the attachment points on the drone, it can prevent unwanted swing from a push or displaced drop. It uses the accelerometer on the IMUsensor to calculate the angle of roll and pitch, although the accelerometer is sensitive to vibrations and rotations. The control system has a fast response and rise time, but it experiences noise and oscillations. Sensor fusion of the accelerometer and gyroscope in a complementary filter can be implemented to increase the accuracy of the angle estimations and decrease the noise, which will be reflected in the speed of the servos and thereby improve the stability and mobility of the system.

his semestral´s thesis deals with proposal and system implementation for automatic configuration of Cisco network devices. This system is called AutoConf and it is intended for distant copying configuration files from eagle-server to the switches and routers in Cisco academy laboratory. It is handled by web pages placed on eagle-server. In this system, user can create new laboratory exercises with configuration files for network devices and then these files could be used for configurations. Informations about done configurations are saved in relation database MySQL. Network devices which will be configured by system AutoConf have to be connected with eagle-server. To setup their connection settings was created decision-making mechanism. If it detects physical connection between network device and eagle-server before network device starts, it will set network device for communication with eagle-server.
