Wk 2 Lab Answer Sheet

You are to use this document to record your lab responses. The work assignments on these pages are
pulled from your Exploration Labs and Study Guide text. Refer to the discussions that accompany the
assignments as needed. You are to complete the lab in its entirety, but not all responses are required –
only those as directed below. You are to place your responses in the bulleted areas below each
question and you are to use RED font for your responses. The screen prints requested should be sized
and cropped accordingly.
Submit to the Wk2 Lab dropbox by end of week 1 which is Monday.
Lab 2.6.1: Topology Orientation and Building a Small Network
For this lab, you will be building a peer to peer network, but using a switch instead of
point to point. Part of the reason for this is that the whole class will be connecting to the same
switch. Therefore, there are several changes to the lab instructions given in the lab book.
First, log into the PC (EXP domain) as normal. Then, the red “crossover” cables at your
bench going from NIC to A are to be removed. They are to be replaced with white “straight
through” cables that will go from NIC to B.
From here, you are to connect your workstation to the B side switch with the fiber optic
cable coming from it. All students will be connecting to the same switch.
Task 2: Identify the Cables used in a Network.
1. What is the difference between the crossover cable and the straight through cable?
a. Crossover is use to connect two PC’s into a simple network and straight through
cable connects Pc’s to hubs or switches.
Task 3:
Now you are to setup your PC to communicate with the rest of the PCs in the class. To do so,
you must set their IP address to be similar to others in network. To do this, begin Task 3, step
2. All IP address will begin with 192.168.1.x. You will replace the x with your workstation
number.
1. What IP address and subnet mask did you use? :
a. 192.168.1.04 255.255.255.0
2. Why didn’t you need default gateway or a DNS server?
a. Because we joined the same network
2. IN step 3, you are to PING your neighbor. From the command line, perform an
IPCONFIG to confirm your address. Then, find out your neighbors IP address to perform
step 4. Provide a screen print of your PING.
 a.

3. Unplug one end of the small cable (NIC to B) and then perform the PING again. What is
the output of the PING after you disconnect one end of the cable?
a.

Task 4: Configure your workstation to access the Internet. (Skip the Task 4 in the lab book)
At the physical layer, you are already connected to the Internet. You are physically plugged into
the device that will get you there. However, your logical address (IP address) needs to be
configured correctly. Configure your IP address as explained in Task 3, but use the information
from the signs above the whiteboard. It’s important that each one of you has a unique address,
so that last IP octet must be unique from everyone else. You will also need the Default Gateway
and DNS address for Internet access.
1. Record your settings below.
a.

2. Explain why you need the default gateway.

a. So we can be in the same network.
3. Explain why you need the DNS address.
a. Changes domain names from binary digits to network understanding
Try access the Internet. Provide a screen print of a webpage.
Task 5: Trace route
From a command line interface, perform a trace route to a website of your choice. Before you
do so, run WireShark and start a capture. The command is tracert <website address> (The < >
are NOT included in your command. They indicate that you are replacing what is inside them
with your response!)
1. What is the purpose of trace route?
a. Trace route is a way to find out what routers you go through on the internet to get to a
specific destination
2. What website did you use?
a. Devryu.net
3. Explain what is occurring with the trace route.
a. A list if hops as a packet is routed through a network
4. Provide a screen print of the trace route.
a.

5. Provide a screen print of the WireShark DNS lookup (use the filter).
a.
 6. Provide a screen print of the ICMP packets used to perform the trace route.
a.

Task 6: Reflection
Write a half page reflection of what you learned with this lab.

The most important thing I learn is that just because you click on something in the web
it doesn’t mean that it is right there waiting for you. When I entered “devryu.net” I saw in
wireshark how it goes from me to Chicago then to Denver to pull up the information I want. I
understand better on what an IP address is and how each web site is different. I just want to say
I learn a lot but that is what I truly enjoyed.
