Lab Overview

Scenario/Summary

Welcome to your Week 3 Lab.

The purpose of this week’s Lab is to

watch two videos on Terminating Category 5e and 6 UTP cable and answer questions about UTP and STP cables;

look at networking case studies and training videos and write a summary about what you learned;

use the Wireshark software you downloaded last week to answer questions;

NETW202_W3_Lab_100WiresharkTips_Chappell.pdf" documentation file from Laura Chappell, available in the Lab Documents category in the Files section of the Course Menu, to look at advanced uses of Wireshark and troubleshooting; and

look at the example given regarding security issues and capturing packets with Wireshark and write a summary about what you learned.

You will be working with basic cabling issues and the Wireshark software.

In this lab, you will enhance understanding of the Week 3 material and write about the objectives of the lab.

Deliverables

You are required to submit a single lab report for the Week 3 Lab using the lab report template found in the Files section of the Course Menu.

The Lab report template contains five sections.

Guidelines to successfully complete your Lab and Lab report are below.

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.

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.
