[edit] IT 280
Aloha and Welcome to IT280,
My name is Scott Milbury. I will be the lab tutor for this lab and this lab is fun! No joke, please make time for this lab. Usually a lab will last 1 1/2 hours. However, you need to plan to be in the lab for the full three hours. If you plan to enroll in the later lab times, I will not be very sympathetic if you want to leave early and go play or do some other heart breaking class assignment... With that bit of nastiness done lets get on with the fun stuff!!
My lab hours are:
| Tuesday
| Wednesday
| Thursday
|
| 9:00PM - 12:00 AM
| 3:00 - 6:00 PM
| 6:00 - 9:00 PM
|
I am also a tutor for CS. So if you need help with any CS course work or any programing labs, you can see me when you are done with the lab. Or you can come visit me in GCB 101 during my tutoring hours.

| (Lab 1) Making your own Cat 5 Connections
| In this lab you will be making your own straight cable. Once your cable has been assembled you will test it to make sure that it works. Then you are done. Please make sure that you bring your crimper tool. You will need it!!! I would also suggest that you take a gander at:
http://www.zytrax.com/tech/layer_1/cables/tech_lan.htm#9c
This is a great web site to learn about making your own networking connections.
|
| (Lab 2) Making Your First Network
| In this lab you will make a Cross Over cable. Then you will use the cable to make a Network between two computers. You will also be making a "Shared Folder" and share a file with your partner.
|
| (Lab 3) Making a LAN without the Internet
|
In this lab you will connect four or more computers to the same swtich.
Use default APIPA local link addresses (169.254.x.x)
A feature of Microsoft Windows, APIPA is a DHCP failover mechanism.
With APIPA, DHCP clients can obtain IP addresses when DHCP servers are nonfunctional.
APIPA exists in all popular versions of Windows except Windows NT.
When a DHCP server fails, APIPA allocates addresses in the private range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254.
Clients verify their address is unique on the LAN using ARP. When the DHCP server is again able to service requests,
clients update their addresses automatically.
In APIPA, all devices use the default network mask 255.255.0.0 and all reside on the same subnet.
APIPA is enabled on all DHCP clients in Windows unless the computer's Registry is modified to disable it.
APIPA can be enabled on individual network adapters.
Ping each other (169.254.255.255 broadcast) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping
Configure another set of IP addresses (192.168.x.x)
Run a network game.
|
| (Lab 4) Lan With Internet
|
Use wireless routers, reset to default setting
Have at least two routers going, maybe lots more...
Connect each router to the internet.
Connect two to four computers to each router.
Notice that the router DHCP assigns an IP address to each machine.
Notice that each router hands out the dame set of addresses.
Ping each other.
Verify that a browser will run from each machine.
Locally share a file folder, run a network game.
Notice that you cannot see machines on the other routers.
|
| (Lab 5)
|
Wifi
|
| (Lab 6) Wireless Networking
|

Download drivers for USB NIC Cards.
Make a Network and share files.
Play Internet Game.

| (Lab Final)
|
Hi everyone, It is true it is time for you to start working on your lab final. So here is the situation: You are a tech savvy
contractor that designs customer Networks for local businesses. I will represent a local business that needs
a network. I have a three story building. I have moved personal onto the first two floors. So you will need to install a network
according to the floor plan I have provided. The third floor has yet to be occupied. I know that I want to move 25 people up there with
printers and conference rooms. You can suggest where to put things. I have given you a general layout. You can build walls and rooms
if needed. Get Creative... You do not need to include the cost for building walls or the cost of cubicals.
This is what you need to include for your final:
You need to have a network map. I want to see how you have decided to make your network. Remember to watch you cable lengths.
Keep track of what material you use for the network. "What are you using and how much does it cost?"
I want to know HOW MUCH THIS IS GOING TO COST ME!!!.
You do not need to include the cost of the computers, but I will like to know how much servers, routers, etc. cost.
The network should include a DMZ network consisting of a Web sever and a E-Mail Sever.
Every floor also has printers that need to be networked.
I would also like to know about security measures you would like to add.
For the third floor I would like to put:
25 desks. 10 of these users are the accounting department.
10 are mid-level managers. 5 are secretaries. Only people in a department should be able to share files in that department.
Everyone on the floor should have printing capabilities.
The Floor should also have at least one conference room.
Your report should have four parts:
1.Network Maps for all three floors.
2.What Media have you installed.
3.Security Features.
4.Total Cost
When the report is due, we will pick numbers for time slots and you will have time to pitch your plan to me verbally.
We will then talk about the good parts of your plan and maybe make some suggestions for improvements.
When making your network map I want to see how the wires are connecting to the computers.
Download the Visio File here: Image:Building.vsd. Click the Building.vsd File and save it to your computers.
This Lab Final is worth 100 points.Good Luck and Have Fun!!!
