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!

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.

Week 7 Assignment
Course Project
Document a Small LAN
Objectives
Document the design, configuration, and testing of a small LAN.
Guidelines
This is a team assignment. Teams may include two or three members of the class. The overall objective is to document the design, configuration, and testing of a small network (LAN).
Overall instructions:
Create a Word document that includes a network diagram, a set of configuration listings, a selection of diagnostic and discovery commands, and a short written summary answering the questions listed below. Be sure to verify spelling.
Specific directions:
Create a cover sheet to list the team members, the class, the instructor's name, and the submission date. This is page one of your project.
Use Visio to draw a small Local Area Network that consists of one router, two switches, and two PCs basically in this layout: PC1 - Switch1 - Router - Switch2 - PC2. Copy and paste your diagram on to the second page of your Word document.
Beginning with page three, write out the full configuration of ALL of the devices in your network to include two IPv4 subnets with the appropriate IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and VLAN1 addresses. Include names for the devices and provide secure passwords at all levels of the network appliances. Include SSH on the router.
On a new, separate page, write out the full command line syntax to (1) save the configurations; (2) verify connectivity from one PC through the network to the other PC (use two different commands to do this); (3) display the saved configuration of the devices; and (4) display the routing table.
On your last page, answer the following: What part of this project was the most difficult and why? Do you feel more confident in your ability to actually build this kind of a network having completed this project? Why or why not?
Grading Rubrics
Category Points % Description

Professional look and feel
Total 100
100 A quality paper will meet or exceed all of the above requirements.
Best Practices
Do not procrastinate putting this project together. Give yourselves enough time to try out some ideas and get consensus as a team. Seek help by doing some research on your own and by reaching out to your classmates and to your Instructor. Work at it until you arrive at a solution. Divide the workload in this project by assigning each member of the team part of this project. That said, the configurations and commands requirements should be shared by all. Double-check each others' contributions.
