NETW202 Introduction to Networking and Lab

Week 1 LAB

Lab Overview

Scenario/Summary

Welcome to your Week 1 Lab.

The purpose of this week’s Lab is to

gain an understanding of some of the network troubleshooting commands included in Microsoft’s operating systems; and

learn to navigate within a client-server networking configuration and observe network traffic.

You will be working with the Skillsoft Practice Labs: Using Show Commands to Investigate Network Status and Performing Switch Startup and Initial Configuration.

In this lab, you will enhance understanding of the Week 1 material and write about the objectives of the lab.

Deliverables

You are required to submit a single lab report for the Week 1 Lab using the lab report template found in the Files section of the Course Menu.

The lab report template contains two sections, listed below.

Section 1: Using Windows Applications as Network Tools

Section 2: Troubleshooting TCP/IP Problems Lab

Lab and Report Guidelines

Follow the guidelines below to successfully complete your Lab in Skillsoft Practice Labs and complete your Lab report using the lab report templates.

Use the lab report template for all of your Labs. Do not turn in separate documents for each lab, or create your own document. Each lab is easily identified within the document by an appropriate section title. Note: It is a good idea to read over everything in the lab report template before performing your Labs, so that you know what to expect.

Make sure that you read, understand, and follow all of the steps in this week’s Lab page, as well as all Lab instructions.

For Labs that require screenshots, have your lab report open along with your instructions, so that you can immediately capture the screen and then paste it in your lab report before moving on to subsequent steps. In many cases, it is difficult to go back and capture an accurate screenshot after you have moved beyond the step requiring the screenshot.

Your screenshot request may be accompanied by an additional written requirement. If so, be sure to respond. Write in complete sentences and be complete in your answers.

When asked to summarize what you learned, always provide well-written, college-level paragraphs that include well-formed sentences, along with proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Don’t just identify the steps that you performed (we already know those); give it some thought. In your summary, include what you accomplished in the assignment or lab, what you learned from performing it, how it relates to this week’s COs and course material, and just as importantly, how you feel it will benefit you in your academic and professional career.

Always append your name to your lab report before saving it. Submit your completed lab report.

Please write your answers to each question in a different color font to make it easier for the Professor to grade.

Taking Screenshots

The instructions below provide basic guidance on taking screenshots of your labs.

Complete the lab step that you want to capture in a screenshot.

Make sure the window you want to capture is in the foreground (click on the window if it's behind other windows or if it is partially blocked).

Press the Print Screen key on your keyboard to copy it to your clipboard. On some keyboards, it is written as Print Scrn or PrtSc .

Click on your lab report.

Scroll to the point in the lab report where you want the screenshot to appear.

Right click on your mouse and click paste, or press Ctrl + V.

Once your screenshot appears in your lab report, click on your lab and continue to the next step.

Note:

If you are using Windows 7 (any version), you can use the Snipping Tool to very easily create screenshots for your lab reports. If you've never used it, perform a search on "How to Use the Snipping Tool" for some quick tips and videos on its use. YouTube is always good for basic "How To's" in visual format.

Create your lab report using this template starting on page 2. It is not necessary to include this page in your lab report.

Enjoy your lab!

To perform this lab, you will need to log in to the Skillsoft lab environment using the link at the top right of this page. For information and assistance in accessing and navigating the Skillsoft environment, click on the Lab in the Introduction and Resources module.

Notice that you do not need to click on the diagram to begin the lab. The lab this week is more of an exercise than an experiment.

There is a worksheet in the Files section of the Course Menu that you can download that will help you in completing the lab. Once you have accomplished all of the conversions, copy the required problems into your lab report template.

When you have completed all of the number conversions,

copy and paste the required screenshots from your worksheet and paste them into the lab report template;

at each step, answer any questions or provide any addition information required within the lab report template; and

to conclude this lab, write a paragraph (with a minimum of five college-level sentences) that summarizes what was accomplished in this lab, what you learned by performing it, how it relates to this week's COs and other course material, and (just as important) how you feel it will benefit you in your academic and professional career.

STEP 2: Classifying Network Addressing

to conclude this lab, write a paragraph (with a minimum of five college-level sentences) that summarizes what was accomplished in this lab, what you learned by performing it, how it relates to this week's COs and other course material, and (just as important) how you feel it will benefit you in your academic and professional career.

STEP 3: IPv6

Download the Week 5 reference documents from the Files section of the Course Menu. They are located in the IP Addr-Subnetting category. Read the documents and answer the questions about IPv6 and its implementation in the Week 5 Lab Instruction sheet.

In the Files section of the Course Menu, review the IPv6 reference files named: Drivers for Transitioning to IPv6.pdf Enterprise Readiness for IPv6.pdf IP Readiness Worldwide.pdf These files came from the Faulkner’s FACCTs database via the DeVry library and were created by Faulker Information Services.

Step 4: Submit Your Work

Your lab is now complete! When you are satisfied with your documentation, submit your completed report.

Week 6 LAB

Lab Overview

Scenario/Summary

Welcome to your Week 6 Lab.

The purpose of this week’s Lab are to

learn how to subdivide a network into multiple pieces called subnets

learn how many bits to “borrow” in order to create a specified number of subnets

learn how to calculate the number of hosts and usable hosts per subnet based on the number of host bits in your address

learn how to create the proper “custom” subnet mask

reinforce your ability to manipulate IP addresses and subnet masks to create subnets that will support a specified number of hosts; and

give you the opportunity to utilize your abilities in an actual network environment using router commands to assign addresses to interfaces and launch the RIP dynamic routing protocol.

reinforce your ability to manipulate IP addresses and subnet masks to create subnets that will support a specified number of hosts; and

give you the opportunity to utilize your abilities in an actual network environment using router commands to assign addresses to interfaces and launch the RIP dynamic routing protocol.

You will be working with the Skillsoft Practice Labs: Computing Usable Subnets, IP Subnetting and Calculating Subnet Masks.

In this lab, you will gain experience and write about the objectives of the lab.

Deliverables

You are required to submit a single Lab report for the Week 6 Lab assignments using the Lab report template found in the Files section of the Course Menu along with the Lab Instruction file.

The lab report template contains three sections.

Section 1: Computing Usable Subnets

Section 2: Calculating Subnet Masks

Section 3: IP Subnetting
