Franske ITC-2510 Assignments

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 1.3.1.3: Mapping the Internet (NO LAB REPORT REQUIRED)
2. Lab 2.1.4.9: Establishing a Console Session with Tera Term
3. Lab 2.3.3.4: Building a Simple Network
4. Lab 2.3.3.5: Configuring a Switch Management Address
5. Lab 3.3.3.4: Using Wireshark to View Network Traffic
6. Lab 4.1.2.4: Identifying Network Devices and Cabling
7. Lab 4.2.4.6: Viewing Wired and Wireless NIC Information
8. Lab 5.1.3.6: Viewing Network Device MAC Addresses
9. Lab 5.1.4.3: Using Wireshark to Examine Ethernet Frames
10. Lab 5.2.1.8: Observing ARP with the Windows CLI, IOS CLI, and Wireshark
11. Lab 5.3.1.10: Using IOS CLI with Switch MAC Address Tables
12. Lab 6.2.2.8: Viewing Host Routing Tables
13. Lab 6.3.1.9: Exploring Router Physical Characteristics
    • NOTE: You will notice that your routers may be 1800 series routers instead of 1900 series routers and that the serial interface cards in our routers also look different. This will mean that you will need to modify some of your labs a little bit as you progress through the courses. If you suspect something in a lab might be different because of the router model you should ask your classmates or your instructor if you need assistance.
14. Lab 6.4.3.5: Building a Switch and Router Network
    • NOTE: These labs were developed with Cisco 1900 series routers which have Gigabit Ethernet LAN interfaces. If you are working on one of our 1800 series routers you will need to adjust the lab to use Fa0/0 and Fa0/1 as the Fast Ethernet interfaces instead of G0/0 and G0/1 which do not exist on the 1800 series.
15. Lab 7.2.1.8: Using Wireshark to Observe the TCP 3-Way Handshake
16. Lab 7.2.3.5: Using Wireshark to Examine a UDP DNS Capture
17. Lab 7.2.4.3: Using Wireshark to Examine FTP and TFTP Captures
18. Lab 8.2.5.5: 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.
19. Lab 8.3.2.7: 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.
20. Lab 10.2.2.9: Observing DNS Resolution
    • NOTE: If you have problems loading the www.icann.net website by IP address try using www.exploreminnesota.com and it's 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
21. Lab 10.2.3.3: Exploring FTP
    • NOTE: Instead of the WSFTP program you can use the free FileZilla FTP client from https://filezilla-project.org/
22. Lab 11.2.4.5: Accessing Network Devices with SSH
23. Lab 11.2.4.6: Securing Network Devices
24. Lab 11.3.2.3: Testing Network Latency with Ping and Traceroute
25. Lab 11.3.4.6: Using the CLI to Gather Network Device Information
26. Lab 11.4.2.6: Managing Router Configuration Files with Terminal Emulation Software
27. Lab 11.4.2.7: Managing Router Configuration Files Using TFTP, Flash, and USB

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)
• Presentation Skills (30 Points)
• Engagement (20 Points)
• Overall Quality (20 Points)

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.
