HUAWEI SOFTWARE INTERN INTERVIEW
2) Present yourself in 5 minutes:
3) How to set the IP address of a static machine:
To set the IP address of a static machine in Linux, you can modify the network
configuration file. This can be done by editing the "/etc/network/interfaces" file and specifying
the desired IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS servers.
To set the IP address of a static machine, you typically need to access the network
settings of the operating system and manually assign an IP address, subnet mask, default
gateway, and DNS server. This can usually be done through the network settings menu on
the operating system.
4) List 5 Linux commands and their roles:
→ ls: List directory contents.
→ cd: Change directory.
→ pwd: Print working directory.
→ cp: Copy files and directories.
→ rm: Remove files or directories.
→ grep: Searches for patterns in files.
→ chmod: Changes file permissions.
5) Definition and basics of Cloud Computing:
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services such as servers, storage,
databases, networking, software, and analytics over the internet to offer faster innovation,
flexible resources, and economies of scale.
Cloud computing eliminates the need for hardware ownership and physical
infrastructure management. While I do not have direct experience working with cloud
platforms, I am familiar with the basic concepts and principles.
6) Database difference between truncate and delete:
- **Truncate**: Removes all records from a table and resets identity seed, but it does not
log individual row deletions.
- **Delete**: Removes specified rows from a table based on conditions and logs individual
row deletions.
7) **In scripting, do you know which scripting language? What do you think is the best
one? Why?
I am familiar with scripting languages like Bash, Python, and PowerShell. The best
scripting language depends on the use case.
Python is known for its readability and versatility, making it a popular choice for
automation and data analysis tasks. Bash is excellent for shell scripting on Unix-based
systems, while PowerShell is commonly used for Windows system administration tasks due
to its integration with the Windows operating system.
8) Name scripting commands and their roles:
→ grep: Search for patterns within files.
→ awk: Text processing tool for extracting and manipulating data.
→ sed: Stream editor for filtering and transforming text.
→ chmod: Change file permissions.
→ echo: Print specified text.
→ if: Performs conditional processing in a script.
→ for: Loops through a list of items.
9) Number of layers in each TCP/IP and OSI model as well as their roles:
- **OSI Model**: 7 layers (Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation,
Application). Defines the functions of networking protocols.
- **TCP/IP Model**: 4 layers (Link, Internet, Transport, Application). Facilitates
communication between devices over a network.
10) **Difference between TCP and UDP:**
- TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented protocol that ensures data
integrity by sequencing packets and retransmitting lost packets. UDP (User Datagram
Protocol) is connectionless and does not guarantee reliable delivery of data.
11) **2G network architecture:**
2G network architecture includes base stations, mobile switching centers, and
databases for call routing and subscriber data management. It uses circuit-switching
technology for voice calls and limited data services.
a. Base Station Subsystem (BSS): This includes base transceiver stations (BTS)
that communicate directly with mobile devices. It also includes the base station controller
(BSC) that manages and controls BTSs.
b. Mobile Switching Center (MSC): The MSC is the central component responsible
for call routing, establishment, and termination. It connects mobile calls to the wider
telecommunications network.
12) **- Types of databases known:**
I am familiar with relational databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and non-relational
databases like MongoDB.
Some common types of databases include:
- Relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle)
- NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra)
- Graph databases (e.g., Neo4j)
- Key-value stores (e.g., Redis)
- Document databases (e.g., MongoDB)
Some common SQL commands include:
- SELECT: Retrieves data from a database.
- INSERT INTO: Adds new records into a table.
- UPDATE: Modifies existing records in a table.
- DELETE: Removes records from a table.
- CREATE TABLE: Creates a new table in the database.
Some common SQL commands include:
- SELECT: Retrieves data from a database.
- INSERT: Adds new rows of data into a table.
- UPDATE: Modifies existing data in a table.
- DELETE: Removes rows of data from a table.
Index (in the context of SQL):
In SQL, an index is a data structure that is used to quickly locate and access the rows
in a database table. It acts like a pointer or reference to data in a table, making data retrieval
faster and more efficient. Indexes can be created on one or more columns in a table to
improve the performance of queries that search based on those columns.
