 4.6.6 Lab – View Information on Wired and Wireless NICs Objectives Part 1: Recognise and Work with Personal Computer Network Interface Cards Part 2: Recognise and Utilise Network Icons in the System Tray Context / Scenario This lab asks you to identify the availability and status of the network interface cards (NICs) installed on the personal computer (PC) you are using. Windows offers a variety of methods for seeing and working with your network interface cards. In this lab, you will get access to your computer's network interface card (NIC) information and modify the state of these devices. Ressources Required 1 personal computer (Windows with two NICs, wired and wireless, and a wireless connection) At the start of this experiment, the wired Ethernet network interface card in the PC was connected to one of the integrated switch ports on a wireless router. Then, the Local Area Connection (wired) was activated. Initially, the wireless NIC was deactivated. If both the wired and wir...

 Objectives Part 1: Using Wireshark to Capture and Analyze Local ICMP Data Part 2: Using Wireshark to Capture and Analyze Remote ICMP Data Context / Scenario Wireshark is a protocol analyzer software tool, sometimes known as a "packet sniffer," that is used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software and protocol development, and teaching. As data streams traverse the network, the sniffer "captures" each protocol data unit (PDU) and is able to decode and analyse its contents in accordance with the relevant RFC or other standard. Wireshark is an essential tool for anybody who works with networks and may be used in conjunction with the majority of the labs in the CCNA courses for data analysis and troubleshooting. Wireshark will be used to collect ICMP data packet IP addresses and Ethernet frame MAC addresses in this experiment. Ressources Required 1 personal computer (Windows with internet access) Additional personal computers (PCs) connected to a local area netw...

 3.7.9 Lab – Wireshark Installation Objectives Install Wireshark Context / Scenario Wireshark is a protocol analyzer software tool, sometimes known as a "packet sniffer," that is used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software and protocol development, and teaching. As data streams traverse the network, the sniffer "captures" each protocol data unit (PDU) and is able to decode and analyse its content in accordance with the relevant RFC or other standard. Wireshark is an essential tool for anybody who works with networks and may be used in conjunction with the majority of the labs in the CCNA courses for data analysis and troubleshooting. This experiment demonstrates how to download and install Wireshark. Ressources Required 1 personal computer (Windows with internet access) Instructor Note: Using a packet sniffer such as Wireshark may be seen as a violation of the school's security policy. Permission should be sought prior to running Wireshark for this lab....

Objectives Standards for Research Networking Organizations Reflect on Their Experiences with the Internet and Computer Networking Context / Scenario Conduct research on non-profit organisations that are responsible for developing worldwide standards for the internet and the development of internet technology using online search engines such as Google. Ressources Required Internet-connected device Instructions Step 1: Conduct research on Organizations that Adhere to Networking Standards This stage will identify many prominent standards organisations and their key qualities, such as their years of existence, membership numbers, significant historical characters, some of the organization's roles and obligations, organisational supervision function, and headquarters location. Utilize a web browser or websites for different organisations to do research on the following organisations and the individuals who have aided in their maintenance. You may get the answers to the following questio...

 3.0.3 Group Project - Create a Communication System (Instructor Version) Instructor Note: Text in red font or with grey highlights appears solely in the instructor copy. Objectives Describe the function of protocols and standards bodies in supporting network communication interoperability. Context / Scenario You've just acquired a new car for personal usage. After about a week of driving, you notice that the automobile is not operating properly. You decide to take it to an automobile repair business that many of your friends strongly suggest after discussing the issue with them. It is the only repair facility in the immediate vicinity. When you arrive at the repair shop, you discover that the mechanics all speak a foreign language. You're having difficulties explaining the vehicle's performance issues, but the repairs are very necessary. You're not certain you can drive it back home to do more investigation. You must devise a strategy for collaborating with the repair ...

Topology   Addressing Table Objectives Configure the Network's Topology Configure Personal Computer Hosts Configure and Verify the Basic Switch Configuration Context / Scenario You will construct a basic network with two hosts and two switches in this experiment. Additionally, you will establish fundamental settings such as the hostname, local passwords, and login banner. To view the current configuration, IOS version, and interface status, use the show command. Copy device settings using the copy command. You will configure the PCs and switches in this lab with IP addresses to allow communication between the devices. Verify connection with the ping programme. Cisco Catalyst 2960 switches running Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) were utilised (lanbasek9 image). Other Cisco switches and Cisco IOS versions are also supported. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the available commands and output may differ from what is shown in the labs. Nota bene: Ensure that the switches have bee...
