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" as the 1841 routers do not have Mini-USB configuration ports.
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
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
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
18. Lab 10.2.3.4: Exploring FTP
    • NOTE: Instead of the WSFTP program you can use the free FileZilla FTP client from https://filezilla-project.org/
    • NOTE: If you have problems connecting to or listing files on the FTP server it is possible you are being blocked by the campus network firewall. Please change to the ITC network (the yellow jack in B109) and try connecting again. Don't forget to switch back to the campus network when you're finished. Note also that when you do this you will not be able to download the Readme file to the z:\ drive which is a network drive on the campus network so you will have to change to the d:\ drive before connecting to the FTP server by typing d: and pressing enter at the command prompt.
19. Lab 11.2.4.6: Accessing Network Devices with SSH
20. Lab 11.2.4.8: Securing Network Devices
21. Lab 11.2.5.8: Managing Router Configuration Files with Tera Term
22. Lab 11.2.5.9: Managing Router Configuration Files Using TFTP, Flash, and USB
23. Lab 11.3.2.3: Testing Network Latency with Ping and Traceroute
24. Lab 11.3.4.6: Using the CLI to Gather Network Device Information
    • Note: This lab appears to have been left out of the printed lab manual so you will need to access it from the readings for the chapter as a PDF file.

Technical Presentation

In this class you and a partner will need to give a technical presentation on a topic of your choice related to the course. Your brief 10 minute presentation will be given towards the end of the course, see the course calendar for details. Additional details will be provided as the course progresses.

Example Topics Include:

• History of the Internet
• IP Addressing (Subnetting, VLSM, IPv6)

Grading

Your presentation grade will be comprised of three main areas, an instructor score, a peer score, and a score for completing quality peer evaluations of each presentation.

The instructor score is comprised of:

• 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.

Skills Final Exam

The Skills Final Exam is designed to test your ability to apply the concepts learned in this class and practiced in labs to common, real-world scenarios.
