Labs

You are responsible for completing ALL of these labs. You must submit a lab report for each chapter (you may combine multiple labs from the chapter into a single report). If you work with a partner on a lab you only need to submit a single lab report for the two of you but it must have both your names on it. Each lab report is worth up to 20 points. This falls into the Labs/Homework category of your course grade.

1. Lab 2.1.4.7: Establishing a Console Session with Tera Term
   • NOTE: You do not need to complete the part 3 of this lab "Access a Cisco Router Using a Mini-USB Console Cable".
2. Lab 2.3.3.3: Building a Simple Network
3. Lab 2.3.3.4: Configuring a Switch Management Address
   • NOTE: In this lab you are asked to install a telnet client in Windows. Because you do not have full administrative privileges on the campus computers you will not be able to do that. Instead you can use the Telnet connection type built into Tera Term or PuTTY to connect to your switch's management address. Ask your instructor if you need help with this.
4. Lab 3.4.1.2: Using Wireshark to View Network Traffic
   • NOTE: In this lab Wireshark may appear to use a different interface than is shown in the lab, if you encounter this issue you should close Wireshark and start "Wireshark Legacy" instead
   • NOTE: In this lab you are asked to capture some ICMP PING packets with Wireshark. It may be that when you use the PING command you see the system pinging an IPv6 address instead of an IPv4 address and the packets not showing up in Wireshark. If you encounter this use the -4 option like "ping -4 google.com" to force the system to use IPv4.
5. Lab 4.1.2.4: Identifying Network Devices and Cabling
   • NOTE: In this lab you will be working to identify some different types of equipment and cabling. Instead of asking your instructor for samples please select at least three different Cisco devices from the racks in the room as well as three different cables from the hooks on the wall and identify them.
6. Lab 4.2.4.5: Viewing Wired and Wireless NIC Information
   • NOTE: In this lab you can skip the wireless network connection and configuration section as we do not have a wireless network with encryption setup you can connect to and newer versions of Windows have substantially changed how wireless settings are stored.
7. Lab 5.1.1.7: Using Wireshark to Examine Ethernet Frames
8. Lab 5.1.2.8: Viewing Network Device MAC Addresses
   • NOTE: In this lab it's possible you may encounter issues using the IEEE site to lookup the MAC address OUI information. You can use many other sites to do this as well if that happens. For example https://www.macvendorlookup.com or https://macvendors.com
9. Lab 5.2.1.7: Viewing the Switch MAC Address Tables
10. Lab 6.3.2.7: Exploring Router Physical Characteristics
    • NOTE: In this lab you are asked to run the show interface serial 0/0/0 command on the router. Because of the way our serial interfaces are configured this won't work on our routers. You can use the sample output in the lab but you can also run a few commands on our routers to setup the serial interfaces and get similar output:
    • card type t1 0 0
controller t1 0/0/0
channel-group 0 timeslots 1-24
clock source internal
show interface serial 0/0/0:0
11. Lab 6.5.1.2: Building a Switch and Router Network
12. Lab 7.2.5.4: Configuring IPv6 Addresses on Network Devices
    • NOTE: If your switch has never been used for IPv6 before you may not be able to set an IPv6 address on it until you change the SDM template to allow for dual-stack configuration. See this page for instructions on how to do that.
13. Lab 7.3.2.7: Testing Network Connectivity with Ping and Traceroute
    • NOTE: Inver Hills uses a different type of serial interface cards than these labs were designed with so the cabling and configuration of serial interfaces is going to be a bit different than in the lab. If you are unsure of how to do this please ask your instructor or classmates for help.
14. Lab 9.2.1.6: Using Wireshark to Observe the TCP 3-Way Handshake
15. Lab 9.2.3.5: Using Wireshark to Examine a UDP DNS Capture
16. Lab 9.2.4.3: Using Wireshark to Examine FTP and TFTP Captures
    • NOTE: Instead of the Windows command line FTP program which does not work properly with modern FTP servers you can use the MOVEIt Freely FTP client. This program can be found in "D:\CNTFiles\Software" because you are using Wireshark you'll need to copy the ftps program from this location to a laptop with Wireshark installed and connect the laptop to the ITC network jack at your desk.
      1. Open a command prompt on the laptop and change to the directory where you have copied the ftps program.
      2. Type ftps and press enter to open the FTP software program.
      3. When you get the "ftp>" prompt type passive and press enter.
      4. When you get the "ftp>" prompt type open ftp.cdc.gov and press enter to connect to the CDC FTP site.
      5. Log in with the username anonymous and no password.
      6. You should now be able to complete the lab as instructed beginning with step 2c.
17. Lab 10.2.2.8: Observing DNS Servers
    • NOTE: If you have problems loading the www.icann.net website by IP address try using www.exploreminnesota.com and its IP address instead, note you may not get successful pings from www.exploreminnesota.com though.
    • NOTE: If you think you may be seeing an IPv6 address instead of an IPv4 address you can force ping to use IPv4 by using the "ping -4 www.icann.net" command
    • NOTE: The Cisco.com website will no longer allow you to access it by IP address. Fewer and fewer sites allow access without a domain name so you can skip this step of the lab.
18. Lab 10.2.3.4: Exploring FTP
    • NOTE: In Part 1 instead of the Windows command line FTP program which does not work properly with modern FTP servers you can use the MOVEIt Freely FTP client. This program can be found in "D:\CNTFiles\Software"
      1. Open a command prompt, type d: and press enter to change to the D: drive
      2. Type cd D:\CNTFiles\Software and press enter to change the directory
      3. Type ftps and press enter to open the ftp client software
      4. When you get the "ftp>" prompt type open ftp.cdc.gov and press enter to connect to the CDC FTP site.
      5. When you get the "ftp>" prompt type passive and press enter.
      6. Log in with the username anonymous and no password.
      7. You should now be able to complete the lab as instructed beginning halfway through step 1c where you type ls.
    • NOTE: In Part 3 instead of the WSFTP program you can use the free FileZilla FTP client which is already on your desktop computer in the cd D:\CNTFiles\Software directory.
19. Lab 11.2.4.6: Accessing Network Devices with SSH
20. Lab 11.2.4.7: Examining Telnet and SSH in Wireshark
21. Lab 11.2.4.8: Securing Network Devices
22. Lab 11.3.2.4: Testing Network Latency with Ping and Traceroute
23. Lab 11.3.4.6: Using the CLI to Gather Network Device Information
24. Lab 11.4.3.5: Troubleshooting Connectivity Issues

• Topic Content (30 Points)
  • Was the topic appropriate for the course project? Was the content presented accurate and did it provide a good overview of the topic and the work done?
• Presentation Skills (30 Points)
  • How well did the group do explaining the content? Were they able to adequately answer appropriate questions from the class? Was the presentation professional and well prepared?
• Engagement (20 Points)
  • How well did the group engage the class in their presentation? This could include getting or asking questions of the class, using appropriate visual aids, etc.
• Overall Quality (20 Points)
  • Did you learn something or get something clarified in your mind? Did you feel listening to this presentation was worth your time? Was this a “good” presentation?

Peer evaluations will be based on the same areas as the instructor score but the instructor score will be worth 100 points and the peer score (the average of all scores from your peers) worth 10 points of your final grade in this area.

You must complete a peer evaluation for all of the other groups presenting as well. These are graded based on how well you justify (explain) the scores you give in each of the areas as well as if the information you write will be helpful in improving future presentations. Also, do your scores match what you're saying? If you have complaints about the presentation and think there is anything they could have done better they should not be getting a perfect score. Think about how well you feel they met the criteria for each area of the presentation, assign points based on how they did or did not, and make sure you have ample constructive (helpful) comments to back it up. Completing high quality peer evaluations is worth 5 points in this category

The HQ router's S0/0/0 interface should be listed as 2001:DB8:ACAD:20::2/64 (the double colon is in the incorrect place in the tables). If you enter the address as indicated in the lab table you will get an error about an overlapping network address with another interface. The second error is only in printed versions of the lab, the HQ S0/0/1 interface should be a /64 and not a /30.
6. Lab 3.2.1.9: Configuring Basic RIPv2
7. Lab 5.1.1.6: Basic Switch Configuration
8. Lab 5.2.2.9: Configuring Switch Security Features
   • NOTE: In part 4 of this lab you may receive a security certificate error when trying to access your HTTPS server running on the switch. Some browsers may not allow you to bypass this error. In order to increase the chances you will be able to get past the error you should set the clock on your switch before enabling the HTTPS server. Also, Firefox is the recommended browser to do the testing with.

17. Lab 8.1.4.4: Troubleshooting DHCPv4
    • Note: If you do not receive debug output in your console perhaps you have telnetted into your router. By default debug output is only sent to a computer directly connected to the console port, if you want to see debug information through a telnet session you need to enter the "terminal monitor" command.
18. Lab 8.2.3.5: Configuring Stateless and Stateful DHCPv6
19. Lab 8.2.4.4: Troubleshooting DHCPv6
20. Lab 9.2.2.6: Configuring Dynamic and Static NAT
21. Lab 9.2.3.7: Configuring NAT Pool Overload and PAT
