Exercise 1: Using Ipconfig, Ping, ARP In this exercise, you use command-line tools to view your network configuration and test your computer's capability to communicate with other computers. Ipconfig displays the IP address configuration of your network interfaces. Ping sends a message to a computer to verify the capability to communicate with it. ARP displays the MAC (physical) addresses your computer has discovered. 1. Click Start, type cmd, and press Enter to open a command prompt window. At the command prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter. Ipconfig lists the IP address configuration for your network interfaces as well as other network settings. 2. To see more details about your network configuration, type ipconfig /all and press Enter. You can scroll up the command prompt window to see all the output. Under the heading "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection," find the row labelled Physical Address. The number you see in this row is the MAC address, a 12-digit hexadecimal value. Also, find the IP address in the IPv4 Address row. Write down these two addresses: 3. Tell the student sitting next to you what your IP address is and make note of his/her IP address. At the command prompt, type ping IPaddress and press Enter (replacing IPaddress with your other student's IP address). 4. Remember that your computer needs both the destination IP address and MAC address to communicate with another computer. You supplied the IP address by typing it at the command prompt. Your computer discovered the MAC address of the student's computer by using Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). To see this address, type arp-a and press Enter. You might see more lines of output, depending on what other devices your computer has been communicating with (Note: ARP works automatically without user intervention). 5. Use the ping command to communicate with other computers and devices on your network, and use ipconfig /all to find the addresses of your default gateway (a router in your network) and your DNS servers. Write the MAC addresses of your default gateway and your DNS servers: • Default gateway: • DNS servers:
Exercise 2: CNT Books hired you as a productivity consultant. Currently, it employs six people who still use floppy disks to get files from one computer to the next. You're to bring them into the 21st century by configuring a network that allows them to share files through the network. Employees must also be able to control resources on their own machines. The company wants the most inexpensive solution and only minimal training for employees. Would you choose a peer-to-peer network or a server-based network? Write a list of supplies you might need to purchase to accomplish this task. What computer configuration tasks might you need to perform? Exercise 3: CNT Books has expended considerably since you got the network up and running three years ago. It now occupies an entire floor in the building, and its LAN has grown to include several servers and more than 60 workstations. CNT Books has recently purchased another book company and needs more space and computers. Expansion plans include leasing another floor four stories above. The current offices in the same building and adding 35 workstations and at least one more server immediately, with additional equipment purchases expected. What type of network is called for LAN, WAN, MAN, or internetwork? What additional devices might be needed to ensure efficient network communication?
Exercise 4: Shearwater company has been hired you to make the network up and running. Company asked you to configure the network which that allows employee to share files through the network. Employees must also be able to control resources on their own machines. The company wants the most inexpensive solution and only minimal training for employees. Company needs to expand, and its LANhas grown to include several servers and more than 60 workstations. Shearwater has recently purchased another company and needs more space and computers. Expansion plans include leasing another floor four stories above. The current offices in the same building and adding 35 workstations and at least one more server immediately, with additional equipment purchases expected. Would you choose a peer-to-peer network or a server-based network? Write a list of supplies you might need to purchase to accomplish this task. What computer configuration tasks might you need to perform? What type of network is called for LAN, WAN, MAN, or internetwork? What additional devices might be needed to ensure efficient network communication? Research Questioni: Research a list of operating systems (client or server) and detail their hardware requirements. look at Microsoft and non- Microsoft solutions, and compare benefits of either solution in relation to hardware requirements Research Question 2: look at network comparisons of small, home peer-to-peer networks versus a larger domain-based server network. Identify what services they have in common (DHCP, DNS)
