For the lab final, you will need to do the following:

• Configure TCP/IP settings to a static IP address
• Install and configure DNS for a forward and reverse zone, including forwarder
• Install and configure either Apache or IIS, as appropriate
• Install and/or enable appropriate programming language support
• Retrieve a zip file containing example pages, and extract them into the document root (HINT: you'll need to know some Linux commands and sudo, if you're doing Apache)
• Demonstrate the functionality of DNS and your web server

Things you will *NOT* be required to do for the final:

• Setup SSL
• Setup an authentication method other than anonymous
• Install a DBMS
• Install an FTP server
• Create multiple sites/hosts
