How to check the Hard-disk Space.


======================================
"df -khT" is command to check the Had-disk space

https://netcoresupport.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/26000027589-server-troubleshooting 1/10
6/11/2019 Server Troubleshooting : Netcore Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

[root@jayesh ~]# df -khT

/dev/sda1 ext3 190M 12M 169M 7% /boot
tmpfs tmpfs 282M 0 282M 0% /dev/shm

How to check IP of Email server


=====================================
"ipconfig" is command by which we can check the all IP of mail server.

[root@jayesh ~]# ifconfig


eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:41:E3:AB
inet addr:192.168.30.223 Bcast:192.168.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe41:e3ab/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:831850 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:28820 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:104188780 (99.3 MiB) TX bytes:2937909 (2.8 MiB)
Interrupt:177 Base address:0x1400

lo Link encap:Local Loopback


inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:5620 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:5620 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:410473 (400.8 KiB) TX bytes:410473 (400.8 KiB)
Now here in above example we have only one IP for eth0 , if we have multiple ethernet cards with IP then we can
check individual by following command
[root@jayesh ~]# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:41:E3:AB
inet addr:192.168.30.223 Bcast:192.168.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe41:e3ab/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:843223 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:28882 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:105207150 (100.3 MiB) TX bytes:2944836 (2.8 MiB)
Interrupt:177 Base address:0x1400
If you have another ethernet card say example eth1 , then we can check by either of the below command.
[root@jayesh ~]# ifconfig eth1.
To see all ethernet cards give below command.
[root@jayesh ~]# ifconfig | less
To come back to command prompt again type "q" to

How to see Gateway of the server


=======================================
"route -n" is the command by which we can see the server Gate IP.
Example :--

https://netcoresupport.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/26000027589-server-troubleshooting 2/10
6/11/2019 Server Troubleshooting : Netcore Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

[root@jayesh ~]# route -n


Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.2.234 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Now here "192.168.2.234" is the Gateway IP of server.

How to delete the gateway temporary from command line


============================================================

"route del default" is command to delete the gateway.


Example :--
[root@jayesh ~]# route -n

0.0.0.0 192.168.2.234 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

[root@jayesh ~]# route del default

[root@jayesh ~]# route -n


Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

How to re-add / newly add Gateway IP by command line


=========================================================
route add default gw <IP address> dev <ethernet card> is command to add / configure the gatway.
Example :--
[root@jayesh ~]# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

How to check Load


==============================
Observing the output of things like top , uptime, w and perhaps others, you certainly pay for the line load average
Load Average

Try to understand the meaning of these numbers. So, in other words, the numbers reflect the number of blocking
processes in the queue for execution at a specific time interval, namely, 1 minute, 5 minutes and 15 minutes,
respectively. In this case, the blocking process - a process that is waiting for resources to continue. As a rule, there is
the expectation of resources such as CPU, disk I / O or network I / O subsystem.
High values of load average load average indicate that the system can not cope with the load. . When it comes to the
target server that is under heavy load, it is usually helpful to fine-tune the operating system (the network subsystem, the
restriction on the number of open files, and so on). High CPU can also be caused by hardware problems, such as
failure of the drive.

For the diagnosis of appeal to other useful data provided output top . Line CPU (s) contains information on the
distribution of CPU time.The first two values directly reflect the work of CPU processing processes:
CPU LOAD

Prolonged high (99-100%) indicators point to the CPU as a bottleneck.


Parameter wa suggests a simple, connected to I / O:

I/O wait
Above 80% is considered normal and not quite clearly shows us that the processor spends a lot of time waiting for I / O
(this usually means that the failure of HDD or NIC).
SAR command :--
We can Also check the Load and I/O with SAR command , The SAR command come with sysstat-7.0.2-1.el5.rpm
package. Which need to be install.
Example :-- sar <-switch> <time interval in sec> <number of time o/p require>
For checking the i/owait of server give . "-u" switch use for checking the "iowait"
[root@jayesh ~]# sar -u 2 5

How to send email by telnet + SMTP Auth


========================================

Telnet from your computer to the mail server.


    $ telnet 192.168.30.223 25
You should receive a reply like:
   Trying 192.168.30.223...
Connected to 192.168.30.223 (192.168.30.223).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ESMTP ESMTP

If the last line is made of lots of stars with an occasional 2 or 0 then you are probably going through a Cisco PIX, and
none of the extended commands will work.
You will then need to declare where you are sending the email from. You can use either standard or extended SMTP
commands to do this. Extended commands allow you to see what is supported by the server and to authorize yourself:
Extended SMTP
Standard SMTP
   HELO netcore.co.in
250 location.exampledomain.com

https://netcoresupport.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/26000027589-server-troubleshooting 7/10
6/11/2019 Server Troubleshooting : Netcore Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

Extended SMTP
    EHLO netcore.co.in
This should give you:
250-location.exampledomain.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 9999360
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-8BITMIME
250 DSN

If "AUTH" is listed you can login to the server. This will usually allow some things which are normally restricted, for
example relaying. You will need to use your username and password in Base64 (See here
(http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp) for an encoder).
jayesh.shinde = amF5ZXNoLnNoaW5kZUBuZXRjb3JlLmNvLmlu &
password123 = cGFzc3dvcmQxMjM=
    AUTH LOGIN
    334 amF5ZXNoLnNoaW5kZUBuZXRjb3JlLmNvLmlu
    bmFtZQ==
    334 cGFzc3dvcmQxMjM=
    U2VjcmV0
    235 2.0.0 OK Authenticated
Dont worry too much about your local domain name although you really should use your exact fully qualified domain
name as seen by the outside world the mail server has no choice but to take your word for it as of RFC822-RFC1123.
Now give your email address:
    MAIL FROM: <jayesh.shinde@netcore.co.in>
The angle brackets around the name are important; some servers won't accept the name unless they are there.
Should yield:
    250 2.1.0 jayesh.shinde@netcore.co.in... Sender ok
Now give the recipients address:
    RCPT TO: <netcoresolutions@gmail.com>
Again, use the angle brackets.
Should yield:
    250 2.1.0 netcoresolutions@gmail.com... Recipient ok
To start composing the message issue the command:
     DATA
     Subject:-test mail 1- 
then press enter twice (these are needed to conform to RFC 882)
You may now proceed to type the body of your message on as many lines as it takes. To tell the mail server that you
have completed the message enter a single "." on a line by itself.
The mail server should reply with:
    250 2.0.0 ???????? Message accepted for delivery
You close the connection by issuing:
    QUIT
The mailserver should reply with something like:
     221 2.0.0 192.168.30.223 closing connection
     Connection closed by foreign host.
