PC Network TCP/IP Configuration

In this lab we will learn about

Computer Networks Configuration

• Introduction to IP addressing
• Identify tools used for discovering a computer’s network configuration
with various operating systems.
• Gather information, including the connection, host name, MAC(Layer2)
address, and TCP/IP Network(Layer 3)
• Compare the network information to that of other PC’s on the network.
• Learn to use the TCP/IP packet Internet groper (ping) command from a
workstation.
• Learnt to use the trace route (tracert) command from a workstation.
• Observe name-resolution occurrences using WINS and DNS servers.

Part A:Background/Preparation

This lab assumes that you are using Windows NT/2000/XP. This is nondestructive lab that you can
perform on any host without changing the system configuration.

Ideally, you perform this lab in a LAN environment that connects to the Internet. You can use a single
remote connection via a dial up modem or DSL. You will need the IP address information which the
instructor should provide.

Introduction to IP addressing

Each Network Interface Card (NIC or Network card) present in a PC is assigned one Network address
called as IP address [or Network address]. This IP address is assigned by the administrator of the
network. No two PCs can have the same IP address.

There is a burned-in address on the NIC called as Physical Address [or MAC address or Hardware
address]. The MAC address of a network card indicates the vendor of that card and a unique serial
number.
Rules for IP 4 Addressing

1. Format of IP address IPv4 is made up of four parts, in the pattern as w.x.y.z. Each part has 8
binary bits and the values in decimal can range from 0 to 255.
2. IP address classes
IP addresses are divided into different classes. These classes determine the maximum number of hosts
per network ID. Only three classes are actually used for network connectivity. The following table lists all
of the address class.

3. Grouping of IP addresses into different classes.

a) Class A, B, C, D, E
b) Class A: first bit in w is 0 and others can be anything
i. 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255
First bits are used for network part and the remaining for host part.
c) Class B: First bit in w is 1 and second bit is 0.
i. 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
ii. First 16 bits for network part and remaining host part
d) Class C: first bit in w is 1, second bit in w is 1 and third bit is 0
i. 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255
ii. ii. First 24 bits for network part and last 8 bits for host part.
e) Class D: first, second, third bits in w are 1 and fourth bit is 0; used for multicast.
i. 224.0.0.0 to 247.255.255.255
f) Class E: future use or experimental purposes.
4. Default Subnet mask it is used to identify the network part from the host part. Put binary
one for the parts that represent network part and zero for the part that represent host part.
a) Class A: 255.0.0.0
b) Class B: 255.255.0.0
c) Class C: 255.255.255.0
d) We can’t have mix of 1s and 0s in subnet mask. Only consecutive 1s is followed by
consecutive 0s
5. Invalid IP address.
a) If the network part is all 0s, the address belongs to class A. But this is an invalid ip
address because for an ip address all the network or host part should not be all 1s or all
0s.
i. 0.0.0.0 is not valid. Routers use it internally.
b) If the network part is all 1s, this address belongs to class E. But due to presence of all 1s,
it is not valid. This represent broadcast to all networks.
i. 255.255.255.255 is not valid.
c) If the host part is all 0s, this represents network address. This is not a valid ip address.
d) If the host part is all 1s, this represents broadcast address. This is not a valid ip address.
e) We can’t use the ip address represented within private address range as part of public
ip address.
i. Class A: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
ii. Class B: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
iii. Class C: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
f) 127.0.0.0 network address is used for loop-back testing. This will help you to check the
network card of your own PC [localhost].
g) The validity of the IP address is also based on the subnet mask used provided.
6. Default subnet masks for standard IP address classes The following table lists the default
subnet masks for each available class of TCP/IP networks.
Exercise

In this exercise, you will determine the correct class for a given IP address.

1. Write the address class next to each IP address.

2. Which address class (es) will allow you to have more than 1000 hosts per network?
3. Which address (es) will allow only 254 hosts per network?
4. Identify invalid IP address:
Circle the portion of the IP address that would be invalid if it were assigned to a host, and
then explain why it is invalid.
a) 131.107.256.80
b) 222.222.255.222
c) 231.200.1.1
d) 126.1.0.0
 e) 0.127.4.100
f) 190.7.2.0
g) 127.1.1.1
h) 198.121.254.255
i) 255.255.255.255

Network Configuration

Step 1. Connect to the Internet.

Establish and verify connectivity to the Internet. This step ensures the computer has an IP address.

Step 2. Gather TCP/IP configuration information.

a. Use the Start menu to open the command prompt

(Start>Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt or Start>Programs>Command
Prompt).
b. Type ipconfig and press Enter key. The spelling of the ipconfig is critical, but the case is not.

c. The screen shows the IP address, subnet mask and the default gateway. The IP address and the
default gateway should be in the same network or subnet; otherwise this host wouldn’t be able
to communicate outside the network.
Step 3. Record the following TCP/IP information for this computer.
 a. IP address:_______________________________________________
b. Subnet mask:_____________________________________________
c. Default gateway:__________________________________________
Step 4. Compare this computer’s TCP/IP configuration to that of others on the LAN. If this computer is
on a LAN, compare the information of several machines (Hosts).

a. Are there any similarities? ____________________________________________

b. What is similar about the IP addresses? __________________________________
c. What is similar about the default gateway? _______________________________
d. Record a couple of the IP addresses (of your nearby hosts)
1.___________________________________________________________

2.____________________________________________________________

3.____________________________________________________________

Step 5. Check additional TCP/IP configuration information.

a. To see more information, type ipconfig/all and press Enter key. The figure shows the detailed IP
configuration of this computer on the screen.
 b. You should see the following information: the host name (computer name), the Physical address
of this machine, IP address, subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Servers.
c. In the LAN, compare your result with a few nearby computers. What similarities do you see in
the physical (MAC) address?
________________________________________________________________

d. Write down the computer’s host name:_______________________________

e. Write down the host names of a couple of other computer:
a. _______________________________________
b. _______________________________________
c. ________________________________________
d. ________________________________________
Step 6. Close the screen when finished.

Part B: Using PING TRACERT from a Workstation

Sept 1. Establish and verify connectivity to the Internet. This step ensures that the computer has an IP
address.

Step 2. Open the Command prompt(MS-DOS). Ping the IP address of another computer.

a. In the window, type ping, a space, and the IP address of a computer recorded in the previous
lab.
 Ping uses the Internet Control Message Protocol(ICMP) echo-request and echo-reply feature to test
physical connectivity. Because ping reports on four attempts, it gives an indication the reliability of
the connection. Look over the result and verify that the ping was successful. Was the ping
successful? If not, report to the instructor.

b. Ask the IP address of the nearby computers and ping. Note the result.
______________________________________________________________

c. Ping the IP address of Default gateway and DNS servers. Was the result successful?
______________________________________________________
d. Ping the computer’s loopback IP address. Type the following command:
ping 127.0.0.1

e. The address 127.0.0.1 is reserved for loopback testing. If the ping is successful, then TCP/IP is
properly installed and functioning on this computer.
f. Was the ping successful for e.__________________________________________

g. Ping the hostname of the computer that you recorded in lab 1.1.

h. Ping the Microsoft website(www.microsoft.com)

Step 3. Trace the route to the Umm-alqura university website: type tracert www.uqu.edu.sa and
press Enter key.

The result shows the complete route to the site and the number of hops in path.

Trace a local host name or IP address in your local area network (LAN).

Record the output and interpret.

Step 4. Close the window. Also see “pathping ip or host” command. Which only shows path from source
to destination.

C ab l e C on s t r u c t i o n

In this lab we will learn about

Cable Construction and testing

• Build a Category 5(CAT 5) Straight-Through Ethernet network cable
• Test the cable for good connection
• Build a Category 5(CAT 5) Cross-Over Ethernet network cable
• Test the cable for good connection

Background/Preparation

This lab aim to construct straight through cable, used to connect computer to the Switch/Hub. It is used
to connect dissimilar devices. While cross cable is used to connect to computers directly. It is also used
when you connect to hubs/Switches with a normal port on both hubs/Switches. (In other words, the
cross cable is used relatively in a rare case.). It is used to connect similar devices.

Straight through cable

Equipments/Tools: CAT 5 network cable, RJ-45 Connectors, Crimping tool, Cable tester.

Procedure

The wire has two sides. Let one side is Side A and the other side is Side B. Do the following steps with
Side A of the wire.

Step 1. Remove the plastic cover from the cable up to two inches. You will see 4 twisted pairs (total 8
wires). In each twisted pair one wire will be colored and the other will be white. For example one will be
Green and the other will be White having Green marks. The latter is called Green-White. Similarly there
will be Brown wire twisted with Brown-White, Blue wire twister with Blue-White, Orange twisted with
Orange-White.
 Step 2. Untwist the wires and make them smooth(don’t remove the plastic covers from the metal
wires).

Step 3. Arrange the wires in the order: Orange-White, Orange, Green-White, Blue, Blue-White, Green,
Brown-White, Brown.

Step 4. Cut the wires in straight fashion and insert in the RJ-45 Jack.

Step 5. Using the Crimping tool, punch it properly.

For Side B: Perform Step 1-5 for Side B.

Cross Over cable

Equipments/Tools: CAT 5 network cable, RJ-45 Connectors, Crimping tool, Cable tester.

Procedure

Side A

Repeat Steps 1 to 5 for side A similar to the process for straight through cable.

Side B

Arrange the wires as: green-white, green, orange-white, blue, blue-white, orange, brown-white, brown.
And punch it properly.

Building a Local Area Network

In this lab we will learn about

Computer networks configuration

• Understand difference between Repeater, Hub, Bridge, Switch
• How Switch works
• Building Peer to Peer network
• Building Switch based network
• Sharing File, Folder, and printer in a network

Theory

Repeater: With many networking terms, the name is indeed the recipe, and that's very true of a
repeater. A repeater's job is to repeat an electrical signal, the form that our data has taken to be sent
across a cable. Remember, "it's all ones and zeroes!”

The repeater takes an incoming signal and then generates a new, clean copy of that exact signal. This
prevented maximum cable lengths from stopping transmissions, and also helped to ward off attenuation
- the gradual weakening of an electric signal as it travels.

Hub: A hub is basically the same as a repeater, but the hub will have more ports. That's the only
difference between the two. (Some hubs have greater capabilities than others, but a "basic" hub is
simply a multiport repeater.)

Neither hubs nor repeaters have anything to do with the Data Link layer of the OSI model, nor do they
perform any switching at all. Hubs and repeaters are strictly Physical layer devices, and that's where the
trouble comes in. There are two major problems with hub
1. Only one PC at a time can send data so having one big collision domain. (Data sent by host can
collide with another host) to prevent this host on shared network uses CSMA/CD.

2. One large broadcast domain.

Hubs vs. Switches.

1. With hubs, we've got one big collision domain consisting of all connected hosts. When hosts are
connected to their own switch ports, they each have their own individual collision domain.

2. Hubs only allow one device to transmit at a time, resulting in shared bandwidth. Switches allow
hosts to transmit simultaneously.

3. When one host connected to a hub sends a broadcast, every other host receives that broadcast
and there's nothing we can do about it. When a host connected to a switch sends a broadcast,
every other host receives it by default - but there is something we can do about that, as you'll
see in the VLAN section of this course
How Switch works: Cisco Switch will do one of the three things with an incoming frame

1. Forward it

2. Flood it

3. Filter it
To make this decision, the switch uses its MAC Address table to check if there's an entry for the
destination MAC address - but first, the switch will actually check to see if there's an entry for the
source MAC address of the frame, because it's that source MAC that the switch will use to actually
build the table in the first place. How switch process frames shown below.
 Flooding is performed when the switch has no entry for the frame's destination MAC address. When a
frame is flooded, it is sent out every single port on the switch except the one it came in on. Unknown
unicast frames are always flooded.

Forwarding is performed when the switch does have an entry for the frame's destination MAC address.
Forwarding a frame means the frame is being sent out only one port on the switch.

Filtering is performed when the switch has an entry for both the source and destination MAC address,
and the MAC table indicates that both addresses are found off the same port.

Peer to Peer network

In this lab you will learn how to connect two computers directly to each other. This is the simplest
network you can imagine. The network having two directly computers connected is called peer to peer
network. Later on you will learn that such a simple network is not “according to the definition of
network.”

Equipment/Tools

Two computers having Windows XP/2000 and LAN Cards installed, one Cross-Over cable with
appropriate length.
Procedure

Step 1.

Identify the proper Ethernet cable and connect the two PC’s. Make sure that you are using the
crossover cable constructed in the previous lab. Turn off both the computers. Attach one end of the
cable in the Network Interface Card (NIC or LAN card) of one computer and the other end in the NIC of
the other computer.

Step 2.

Plug in and turn on the computers. To verify the computer connections, ensure that the link lights on
both NICs are lit.

Step 3.

Be sure to record the existing IP settings of both the computers, so that you can restore them ate end of
the lab. The IP setting information includes IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and the DNS server
information.

Step 4.

Perform on both computers. Click Start>Control Panel> Network Connection. Select the Local Area
Network Connection and click Change Settings of This Connection on the left side window. You will see
a figure showing the properties related to this connection.

Step 5.

Select Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) from the list and click the properties button. You will see a figure as
shown in the following figure.

Step 6.

Set the IP address information for each of the PC. This information will be provided to you by the
instructor.
 Step 7.

Verify that the two computers can communicate. Use ping commands.

Step 8.

Restore the actual settings of both the computers you have recorded at the start of the lab.

You can share files, folders, printers and dialup network connection among these two computers.

Building a Switched based network

In this lab you will learn how to connect two or more than two computers in a Local Area Network (LAN)
environment. The computers will be connected to one another via a central controller called switch (you
can use a hub instead. Ask your instructor for the difference). The topology will be star.

Equipment/Tools

Three or more computers having Windows XP/2000 and LAN Cards installed, Layer 2 Switch, Straight-
Through cables equal to the number of computers you want to connect with appropriate length.
Procedure

Identify the proper Ethernet cable and connect the two PC’s. Make sure that you are using the
crossover cable constructed in the previous lab. Turn off both the computers. Attach one end of the
cable in the Network Interface Card (NIC or LAN card) of one computer and the other end in the NIC of
the other computer.

Steps

1. Make sure that you have picked straight cables.

2. Power off all the computers and the switch.
3. Connect the computers to the switch.
4. Power On the computers and the switch.
5. Configure each computer with IP address and subnet masks.

On each of the computer apply the following settings:

Computer 1: IP Address: 192.168.1.1, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Computer 2: IP Address: 192.168.1.2, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Computer 3: IP Address: 192.168.1.3, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Leave the other entries blank.

Verify the connections to all the systems using the ping command.

Part A: Share Files and Printers between Windows 7 and XP

If you have a home network and are running Windows 7 and have XP on other PC(s) you might want to
share files between them. Today we will look at the steps to share files and hardware devices like a
printer.

Sharing Files in Windows 7 and XP

Sharing folders between two Windows 7 machines with the new HomeGroup feature is an easy
process, but the HomeGroup feature is not compatible with Vista or XP. For this tutorial we are
using Windows 7 x64 RC1 and XP Professional SP3 connected through a basic Linksys home
wireless router.

First make sure both machines are members of the same Workgroup which by default is named
Workgroup.

On the Windows 7 machine go into Control Panel \ All Control Panel Items \ Network and
Sharing Center then click on Change advanced sharing settings
You will want to verify the following settings under Advanced Sharing Settings for the Home or
Work and Public profile.

If you want any user to have access the public shares turn off password protection. This is
located in Advanced Sharing Settings toward the bottom of the list.

If you want to keep it enabled make sure there is a log in account for the other XP machines and
they have a password.
Now if you go into Network in Windows 7 you should see your XP machine and the Windows 7
as well which in this case is Mysticgeek-PC.

To share the printer on the Windows 7 machine go into Devices and Printers from the Start
menu and double click on the printer icon.
Next double click on “Customize your printer”.
In the Properties screen click on the Sharing Tab and check the box to share the printer and type in its share
name.
If your XP machine is an x86 OS you can install Additional Drivers before setting up the XP machine.
To find the shared folders and devices double click on the Windows 7 machine icon under Network. Here you
can see the printer connected to my Windows 7 machine is shared and also the Users Folder.
Continue into the Users folder and Public to see the shared folders, here I also created a folder called XP
Share just to keep everything in central location.

Over on your XP machine open up My Network Places to find the Windows 7 (mysticgeek-pc) shared folder.
Double click on the Share folder to find a list of shared folders in the Public folder on
Windows 7. If you have password protection enabled you will need to type in the
username and password of the user account on the Windows 7 machine first.

Setup XP With Shared Printer

To set up the shared printer in XP you will need to go into Printers and Faxes from the
Start menu and kick off the Add Printer Wizard.
Now select “A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer” then hit
Next.

Next select “Connect to this printer…” and type in the path for the printer connected to the Windows 7
machine and click next.
Now click Yes to the confirmation message.

Then click Finish the printer to install and complete the Wizard.
In some cases you will need to install the x86 XP drivers for the shared printer because the Windows 7 drivers
are not compatible with XP. When everything is installed open up Printers and Faxes to find the shared
printer.

This should help you get started with sharing your files and other devices with your Windows 7
machine. When I first started I was able to see the printer on XP right away because I had a HomeGroup set
up, but once I deleted it I needed to share the printer like you would for a workgroup. You might also have to
do a couple restarts of the XP machine for it to see the shared resources on Windows 7.

Configuration of Cisco Catalyst Switch 3560
In this lab we will learn about

Cisco catalyst switch 3560 configuration

• Different configuration modes
• Initial configuration of switch
• Security for the switch at different level

Cisco uses IOS which stands for Internetwork operating system. IOS is command line interface for
configuring switch and router. Following are steps for connecting to switch.

Connecting to Switch

1. Get a Consol Cable

2. Plug the serial end into the back of the computer

3. Put the RJ-45 into the consol port of Switch.

4. Get a terminal program

- Hyperterminal

- Tera term

- Minicom

- Securecrt

5. Set it to connect via com port with

Baud rate=9600

Data bits=8

Parity=None

Stop bits=1
 Flow Control:None

Cisco is famous for its operating system, which uses command line interface for configuration of Switch
and router. A lot of help is available to the user just by typing a question mark at the command prompt.
Hyper terminal is no longer supported by windows, so we will use Tera term, which is free terminal
program for connecting with switch.

Example: Using of help from Cisco IOS on setting a clock on a new switch

Steps: go to privileged configuration mode

Uqu_switch>enable

Type clock at the prompt followed by Question mark as follow

Uqu_switch#clock?

User is given a hint, how to complete a command

Uqu_switch#clock set ?

Uqu_switch#clock set 13:16:30 ?

Finally when <cr> is returned showing that the command is complete.

To see the current configuration file on switch use the following command

Uqu_switch#sh run

Which is a shortcut for Show running-configuration, we can use shortcuts for the Cisco commands only
when they are unique.

Setting a hostname

Uqu_switch#configure terminal

Uqu_switch(config)#hostname saqib_switch

saqib_switch(config)#hostname Uqu_switch (for consistency throughout the Laboratory manual)

But switch should be named according to some convention like. 3rdF_R1_S1 meaning that switch is on
3rd floor room 1 having a number 1.
Assigning of IP address to the VLAN interface

By default switch have only one broadcast domain. By using VLAN, switch can be divided into multiple
broadcast domains. For configuration purpose switch is assigned an IP address which is used for
configuration of switch from remote place.

Assign IP address to the switch (User must be in global configuration mode)

Uqu_switch(config)#interface vlan1

Uqu_switch(config-if)#ip address 192.168.230.2 255.255.255.0

(Changing any setting will effect only the current interface e.g. vlan1)

Uqu_switch(config-if)#ip default-gatway 192.168.230.3

Uqu_switch(config-if)#end

Uqu_switch#show interfaces vlan1

Check the interfaces, if the interface is administratively down. Go again to global configuration mode
and issue no shutdown command to make the interface running.

Uqu_switch(config)#

Uqu_switch(config)#interfaces vlan1

Uqu_switch(config-if)#no shutdown

Saving configuration to the start-up configuration

Uqu_switch(config)#copy running-config startup-config

Ctrl+z is command for getting into privileged mode

Uqu_switch#show startup-config

The following command shows the complete information about the version of IOS and other
information about device.

Uqu_switch#show version

After initial configuration is done now it is time to lock it down, so need security.

Use of Telnet for remote connection

Go to command prompt and type telnet and then type IP address of the switch.
 C:\telnet 192.168.230.2

Notice telnet will not work, because it requires password for it to work. By default it deactivated in
Windows 7. Steps for activation are given below.

Go to control panel>programs and features>Turn windows features on or off>Telnet client

First step in security is to secure privileged Execution mode

Uqu_switch>enable

Uqu_switch#configure terminal

Uqu_switch(config)#enable password cisco

Uqu_switch(config)#exit

Uqu_switch#disable

Uqu_switch>

Now try the password set for privileged mode in the previous command

Uqu_switch>enable

Password:

Uqu_switch#show running-config

Notice: Problem with previous password is that, it can be seen in plain text in configuration file. Another
password option is to use secret password, which cannot be seen in configuration file.

Using secret password to secure privileged execution mode

Uqu_switch(config)#enable secret cisco

Press Ctrl+Z

Now we have two passwords active on switch, secret password has higher preference over the plain text
password. All configurations can be copied to notepad and can be pasted at once in global configuration
mode.

Password for Console port

Now securing the console port

 Uqu_switch(config)#line console 0

Uqu_switch(config-line)#password cisco

Uqu_switch(config-line)#login

Login command necessary so that user prompted for password.

But still telnet is not possible, for this we have to set virtual terminal lines in configuration file (vty 0-15).
There are 15 virtual terminal lines in switch 3560, which can be used for connecting to switch from
remote place. These 15 virtual terminal lines can be used simultaneously for connecting to switch. Let’s
check how many vty lines a switch has

Password for VTY Lines

Uqu_switch(config)#line vty ?

Setting a password for vty lines 0 and 1

Uqu_switch(config)#line vty 0 1

Uqu_switch(config-line)#login

Uqu_switch(config-line)#password cisco

Ctr+Z

Uqu_switch#

Now try the telnet session from DOS prompt.

All of the telnet transaction is being done in plain text which is the main security problem. Now we will
check telnet transactions using packet sniffing software WireShark. Following are the steps

1. Open wireshark and select an interface, which is used for capturing the telnet traffic.

2. Start the telnet session. Also start the capturing process.

3. Stop the capturing and use the follow up TCP stream option from Wireshark. One can easily see all the
telnet transactions from captured traffic.

Also the virtual terminal lines vty 0 1 password can be seen easily in configuration file. Another
command can be used to encrypt the passwords.

Uqu_switch(config)#service password-encryption
Setting the Banner

Banner can be used for different copyright messages at the startup of switch or console. One such
message is “Message of the Day (Motd)”.

Uqu_switch#configure terminal

Uqu_switch(config)#banner motd [ press enter

Enter the text for the banner

End the banner with same sign [

Design Problem using Router
In this lab we will learn about

Cisco Router 2900 configuration

• Different configuration modes
• Subnet an address space given requirements.
• Assign appropriate addresses to interfaces and document.
• Cable a network according to the Topology Diagram.
• Erase the startup configuration and reload a router to the default state.
• Perform basic configuration tasks on a router.
• Configure and activate Serial and Ethernet interfaces.
• Test and verify configurations.
• Reflect upon and document the network implementation.

Cisco uses IOS which stands for Internetwork operating system. IOS is command line interface for
configuring switch and router. Following are steps for connecting to switch.

Topology Diagram

Addressing table
 In this lab activity, you will design and apply an IP addressing scheme for the topology shown in the
Topology Diagram. You will be given one class C address that you must subnet to provide a logical
addressing scheme for the network. You must first cable the network as shown before the configuration
can begin. Once the network is cabled, configure each device with the appropriate basic configuration
commands. The routers will then be ready for interface address configuration according to your IP
addressing scheme. When the configuration is complete, use the appropriate IOS commands to verify
that the network is working properly.

Note: Use classful subnetting for this lab.

Task 1: Subnet the Address Space

Step 1: Examine the network requirements.

You have been given the 192.168.1.0/24 address space to use in your network design. The network
consists of the following segments:

The network connected to router R1 will require enough IP addresses to support 20 hosts.

The network connected to router R2 will require enough IP addresses to support 20 hosts.

The link between router R1 and router R2 will require IP addresses at each end of the link.

(Note: Remember that the interfaces of network devices are also host IP addresses and are included in
the above addressing scheme.)

Step 2: Consider the following questions when creating your network design.

How many subnets are needed for this network? ____________________

What is the subnet mask for this network in dotted decimal format? ____________________

What is the subnet mask for the network in slash format? ____________________

How many usable hosts are there per subnet? ____________________

Step 3: Assign subnetwork addresses to the Topology Diagram.

1. Assign the first subnet (lowest subnet) to the network attached to R1.

2. Assign the second subnet to the link between R1 and R2.

 3. Assign the third subnet to the network attached to R2.

Task 2: Determine Interface Addresses

Step 1: Assign appropriate addresses to the device interfaces.

1. Assign the first valid host address in first subnet to the LAN interface on R1.

2. Assign the last valid host address in first subnet to PC1.

3. Assign the first valid host address in second subnet to the WAN interface on R1.

4. Assign the last valid host address in second subnet to the WAN interface on R2.

5. Assign the first valid host address in third subnet to the LAN interface of R2.

6. Assign the last valid host address in third subnet to PC2.

Note: The fourth (highest) subnet is not required in this lab.

Step 2: Document the addresses to be used in the table provided under the Topology
Diagram.

Task 3: Prepare the Network

Step 1: Cable a network that is similar to the one in the Topology Diagram.

You can use any current router in your lab as long as it has the required interfaces as shown in the
topology.

Step 2: Clear any existing configurations on the routers.

Task 4: Perform Basic Router Configurations

Perform basic configuration of the R1 and R2 routers according to the following guidelines:

1. Configure the router hostname.

2. Disable DNS lookup.

3. Configure an EXEC mode password.

 4. Configure a message-of-the-day banner.

5. Configure a password for console connections.

6. Configure a password for VTY connections.

Task 5: Configure and Activate Serial and Ethernet Addresses

Step 1: Configure the router interfaces.

Configure the interfaces on the R1 and R2 routers with the IP addresses from your network design.
When you have finished, be sure to save the running configuration to the NVRAM of the router.

Step 2: Configure the PC interfaces.

Configure the Ethernet interfaces of PC1 and PC2 with the IP addresses and default gateways from your
network design.

Task 6: Verify the Configurations

Answer the following questions to verify that the network is operating as expected.

From the host attached to R1, is it possible to ping the default gateway? __________

From the host attached to R2, is it possible to ping the default gateway? __________

From the router R1, is it possible to ping the Serial 0/0/0 interface of R2? __________

From the router R2, is it possible to ping the Serial 0/0/0 interface of R1? __________

The answer to the above questions should be yes. If any of the above pings failed, check your physical
connections and configurations. If necessary, refer to Lab 1.5.2, “Basic Router Configuration.”

What is the status of the FastEthernet 0/0 interface of R1? _____________

What is the status of the Serial 0/0/0 interface of R1? _____________

What is the status of the FastEthernet 0/0 interface of R2? _____________

What is the status of the Serial 0/0/0 interface of R2? _____________

What routes are present in the routing table of R1?

 __________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________

What routes are present in the routing table of R2?

__________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________

Task 7: Reflection

Are there any devices on the network that cannot ping each other?

__________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________

What is missing from the network that is preventing communication between these devices?

__________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________

Task 8: Document the Router Configurations

On each router, capture the following command output to a text (.txt) file and save for future reference.

PC3 NIC 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

In this lab activity, you will learn how to configure the routing protocol EIGRP using the network
shown in the Topology Diagram. A loopback address will be used on the R2 router to simulate a
connection to an ISP, where all traffic that is not destined for the local network will be sent.
Some segments of the network have been subnetted using VLSM. EIGRP is a classless routing
protocol that can be used to provide subnet mask information in the routing updates. This will
allow VLSM subnet information to be propagated throughout the network.

Task 1: Prepare the Network.

Step 1: Cable a network that is similar to the one in the Topology Diagram.
This activity begins with an initial network in the logical workspace.

Step 2: Clear any existing configurations on the routers.

Task 2: Perform Basic Router Configurations.

Perform basic configuration of the R1, R2, and R3 routers according to the following guidelines:

1. Configure the router hostname.

2. Disable DNS lookup.
3. Configure an EXEC mode password.
4. Configure a message-of-the-day banner.
5. Configure a password for console connections.
6. Configure a password for VTY connections.
Task 3: Configure and Activate Serial and Ethernet Addresses.

Step 1: Configure the interfaces on the R1, R2, and R3 routers.

Configure the interfaces on the R1, R2, and R3 routers with the IP addresses from the table
under the Topology Diagram.

Step 2: Verify IP addressing and interfaces.

Use the show ip interface brief command to verify that the IP addressing is correct and that
the interfaces are active. When you have finished, be sure to save the running configuration to
the NVRAM of the router.

Step 3: Configure Ethernet interfaces of PC1, PC2, and PC3.

Configure the Ethernet interfaces of PC1, PC2, and PC3 with the IP addresses and default
gateways from the table under the Topology Diagram.

Task 4: Configure EIGRP on the R1 Router.

Step 1: Enable EIGRP.

Use the router eigrp command in global configuration mode to enable EIGRP on the R1
router. Enter 1 for the autonomous-system parameter.

R1(config)#router eigrp 1

Step 2: Configure classful network 172.16.0.0.

Once you are in the Router EIGRP configuration sub-mode, configure the classful network
172.16.0.0 to be included in the EIGRP updates that are sent out of R1.

R1(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0

The router will begin to send EIGRP update messages out each interface belonging to the
172.16.0.0 network. EIGRP updates will be sent out of the FastEthernet0/0 and Serial0/0/0
interfaces because they are both on subnets of the 172.16.0.0 network.

Step 3: Configure the router to advertise the 192.168.10.4/30 network attached to the
Serial0/0/1 interface.
Use the wildcard-mask option with the network command to advertise only the subnet and not
the entire 192.168.10.0 classful network.

Note: Think of a wildcard mask as the inverse of a subnet mask. The inverse of the subnet
mask 255.255.255.252 is 0.0.0.3. To calculate the inverse of the subnet mask, subtract the
subnet mask from 255.255.255.255:

255.255.255.255
– 255.255.255.252 Subtract the subnet mask
----------------------
0. 0. 0. 3 Wildcard mask
 R1(config-router)# network 192.168.10.4 0.0.0.3

When you are finished with the EIGRP configuration for R1, return to privileged EXEC mode
and save the current configuration to NVRAM.

Task 5: Configure EIGRP on the R2 and R3 Routers.

Step 1: Enable EIGRP routing on the R2 router using the router eigrp command.
Use an autonomous system number of 1.

R2(config)#router eigrp 1

Step 2: Use the classful address 172.16.0.0 to include the network for the FastEthernet0/0
interface.
R2(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0

Notice that DUAL sends a notification message to the console stating that a neighbor
relationship with another EIGRP router has been established.

What is the IP address of the EIGRP neighbor router?

________________________________________

What interface on the R2 router is the neighbor adjacent to?

________________________________________

Step 3: Configure the R2 router to advertise the 192.168.10.8/30 network attached to the
Serial0/0/1 interface.

1. Use the wildcard-mask option with the network command to advertise only the subnet
and not the entire 192.168.10.0 classful network.

2. When you are finished, return to privileged EXEC mode.

R2(config-router)#network 192.168.10.8 0.0.0.3

R2(config-router)#end

Step 4: Configure EIGRP on the R3 router using the router eigrp and network commands.

1. Use an autonomous system number of 1.

2. Use the classful network address for the network attached to the FastEthernet0/0
interface.

3. Include the wildcard masks for the subnets attached to the Serial0/0/0 and Serial 0/0/1
interfaces.
 4. When you are finished, return to privileged EXEC mode.

R3(config)#router eigrp 1
R3(config-router)#network 192.168.1.0
R3(config-router)#network 192.168.10.4 0.0.0.3
R3(config-router)#network 192.168.10.8 0.0.0.3
R3(config-router)#

Notice that when the networks for the serial links from R3 to R1 and R3 to R2 are added to the
EIGRP configuration, DUAL sends a notification message to the console stating that a neighbor
relationship with another EIGRP router has been established.

Task 6: Verify EIGRP Operation.

Step 1: View neighbors.

On the R1 router, use the show ip eigrp neighbors command to view the neighbor table and
verify that EIGRP has established an adjacency with the R2 and R3 routers. You should be able
to see the IP address of each adjacent router and the interface that R1 uses to reach that
EIGRP neighbor.

R1#show ip eigrp neighbors

Step 2: View routing protocol information.

On the R1 router, use the show ip protocols command to view information about the routing
protocol operation. Notice that the information that was configured in Task 5, such as protocol,
autonomous system number, and networks, is shown in the output. The IP addresses of the
adjacent neighbors are also shown.

R1#show ip protocols

Notice that the output specifies the autonomous system number used by EIGRP. Remember,
the autonomous system number must be the same on all routers for EIGRP to establish
neighbor adjacencies and share routing information.

Task7: Examine EIGRP Routes in the Routing Tables.

Step1: View the routing table on the R1 router.

EIGRP routes are denoted in the routing table with a D, which stands for DUAL (Diffusing
Update Algorithm), which is the routing algorithm used by EIGRP.

R1#show ip route

Notice that the 172.16.0.0/16 parent network is variably subnetted with three child routes using
either a /24 or /30 mask. Also notice that EIGRP has automatically included a summary route to
Null0 for the 172.16.0.0/16 network. The 172.16.0.0/16 route does not actually represent a path
to reach the parent network, 172.16.0.0/16. If a packet destined for 172.16.0.0/16 does not
 match one of the level 2 child routes, it is sent to the Null0 interface.

The 192.168.10.0/24 Network is also variably subnetted and includes a Null0 route.

Step 2: View the routing table on the R3 router.

The routing table for R3 shows that both R1 and R2 are automatically summarizing the
172.16.0.0/16 network and sending it as a single routing update. Because of automatic
summarization, R1 and R2 are not propagating the individual subnets. Because R3 is getting
two equal cost routes for 172.16.0.0/16 from both R1 and R2, both routes are included in the
routing table.

Task 8: Configure EIGRP Metrics.

Step 1: View the EIGRP metric information.

Use the show ip interface command to view the EIGRP metric information for the
Serial0/0/0 interface on the R1 router. Notice the values that are shown for the bandwidth,
delay, reliability, and load.

R1#show interface serial0/0/0

Step 2: Modify the bandwidth of the Serial interfaces.

On most serial links, the bandwidth metric will default to 1544 Kbits. If this is not the actual
bandwidth of the serial link, the bandwidth will need to be changed so that the EIGRP metric
can be calculated correctly.

For this lab, the link between R1 and R2 will be configured with a bandwidth of 64 kbps, and the
link between R2 and R3 will be configured with a bandwidth of 1024 kbps. Use the bandwidth
command to modify the bandwidth of the Serial interfaces of each router.

R1 router:
R1(config)#interface serial0/0/0
R1(config-if)#bandwidth 64

R2 router:
R2(config)#interface serial0/0/0
R2(config-if)#bandwidth 64
R2(config)#interface serial0/0/1
R2(config-if)#bandwidth 1024

R3 router:
R3(config)#interface serial0/0/1
R3(config-if)#bandwidth 1024

Note: The bandwidth command only modifies the bandwidth metric used by routing protocols,
not the physical bandwidth of the link.
 Step 3: Verify the bandwidth modifications.
Use the show ip interface command to verify that the bandwidth value of each link has
been changed.

Note: Use the interface configuration command no bandwidth to return the bandwidth to its
default value.

Task 9: Examine Successors and Feasible Distances.

Step 1: Examine the successors and feasible distances in the routing table on R2.
R2#show ip route

Step 2: Answer the following questions:

What is the best path to PC1?
____________________________________________________________________________
________

A successor is a neighboring router that is currently being used for packet forwarding. A
successor is the least-cost route to the destination network. The IP address of a successor is
shown in a routing table entry right after the word “via”.

What is the IP address and name of the successor router in this route?
________________________________________

Feasible distance (FD) is the lowest calculated metric to reach that destination. FD is the metric
listed in the routing table entry as the second number inside the brackets.

What is the feasible distance to the network that PC1 is on?

________________________________________

Task 10: Determine if R1 is a Feasible Successor

for the Route from R2 to the 192.168.1.0 Network.

A feasible successor is a neighbor who has a viable backup path to the same network as the
successor. In order to be a feasible successor, R1 must satisfy the feasibility condition. The
feasibility condition (FC) is met when a neighbor’s reported distance (RD) to a network is less
than the local router’s feasible distance to the same destination network.

Step 1: Examine the routing table on R1.

What is the reported distance to the 192.168.1.0 network?
________________________________________
 Step 2: Examine the routing table on R2.
What is the feasible distance to the 192.168.1.0 network?
________________________________________

Would R2 consider R1 to be a feasible successor to the 192.168.1.0 network? _______

Task 11: Examine the EIGRP Topology Table.

Step 1: View the EIGRP topology table.

Use the show ip eigrp topology command to view the EIGRP topology table on R2.

Step 2: View detailed EIGRP topology information.

Use the [network] parameter of the show ip eigrp topology command to view detailed
EIGRP topology information for the 192.16.0.0 network.

R2#show ip eigrp topology 192.168.1.0

How many successors are there for this network?

________________________________________

What is the feasible distance to this network?

________________________________________

What is the IP address of the feasible successor?

________________________________________

What is the reported distance for 192.168.1.0 from the feasible successor?

________________________________________

What would be the feasible distance to 192.168.1.0 if R1 became the successor?

________________________________________

Task 12: Disable EIGRP Automatic Summarization.

Step 1: Examine the routing table of the R3 router.

Notice that R3 is not receiving individual routes for the 172.16.1.0/24, 172.16.2.0/24, and
172.16.3.0/24 subnets. Instead, the routing table only has a summary route to the classful
network address of 172.16.0.0/16 through the R1 router. This will cause packets that are
destined for the 172.16.2.0/24 network to be sent through the R1 router instead of being sent
straight to the R2 router.

Why is the R1 router (192.168.10.5) the only successor for the route to the 172.16.0.0/16
 network?
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________

Notice that the reported distance from R2 is higher than the feasible distance from R1.

R3#show ip eigrp topology

Step 3: Disable automatic summarization on all three routers with the no auto-
summary command.
R1(config)#router eigrp 1
R1(config-router)#no auto-summary

R2(config)#router eigrp 1
R2(config-router)#no auto-summary

R3(config)#router eigrp 1
R3(config-router)#no auto-summary

Step 4: View the routing table on R1 again.

Notice that individual routes for the 172.16.1.0/24, 172.16.2.0/24, and 172.16.3.0/24 subnets
are now present and the summary Null route is no longer listed.

Task 13: Configure Manual Summarization.

Step 1: Add loopback addresses to R3 router.

Add two loopback addresses, 192.168.2.1/24 and 192.168.3.1/24, to the R3 router. These
virtual interfaces will be used to represent networks to be manually summarized along with the
192.168.1.0/24 LAN.

R3(config)#interface loopback1
R3(config-if)#ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
R3(config-if)#interface loopback2
R3(config-if)#ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0

Step 2: Add the 192.168.2.0 and 192.168.3.0 networks to the EIGRP configuration on R3.
R3(config)#router eigrp 1
R3(config-router)#network 192.168.2.0
R3(config-router)#network 192.168.3.0

Step 3: Verify new routes.

View the routing table on the R1 router to verify that the new routes are being sent out in the
EIGRP updates sent by R3.
Step 4: Apply manual summarization to outbound interfaces.
The routes to the 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, and 192.168.3.0/24 networks can be
summarized in the single network 192.168.0.0/22. Use the ip summary-address eigrp as-
number network-address subnet-mask command to configure manual summarization on each of
the outbound interfaces connected to EIGRP neighbors.

R3(config)#interface serial0/0/0
R3(config-if)#ip summary-address eigrp 1 192.168.0.0 255.255.252.0
R3(config-if)#interface serial0/0/1
R3(config-if)#ip summary-address eigrp 1 192.168.0.0 255.255.252.0
R3(config-if)#

Step 5: Verify the summary route.

View the routing table on the R1 router to verify that the summary route is being sent out in the
EIGRP updates sent by R3.

Introduction to Wireshark

In this lab we will learn about

Introduction to Wireshark and network traffic analysis

• Introduction to Wireshark
• Installation of Wireshark and basic usage
• Network traffic analysis of HTTP, FTP protocol

What is wireshark

Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer, also known as a network sniffer. Formerly known as
Ethereal, wireshark is computer application that captures and decodes packets of information
from a network. “Wireshark can capture live network traffic or read data from a file and translate
the data to be presented in a format the user can understand”.

Why Wireshark

Wireshark is a valuable tool for administrators that allow them to monitor all traffic that passes
on a network. It is very useful for analyzing, diagnosing and troubleshooting problems that may
occur.

Some features of wireshark.

1. Data can be captured from a network connection or read from previous records of captured
packets.
2. Live data can be read from Ethernet, FDDI, PPP, token ring, IEEE 802.11, classical IP over
ATM, and loopback interfaces (at least on some platforms; not all of those types are
supported on all platforms ).
 3. Captured files can be programmatically edited or converted via command-line switches to
the “editcap” program.
4. Captured network data can be browsed via a GUI, or via the terminal((command line)
version of the utility tshark.
5. Display filters can also be used to selectively highlight and color packet summay
information.
6. Data display can be refined using a display filter
Hundreds of protocols can be dissected.

How to get Wireshark

Wireshark can be downloaded from website www.wireshark.org .

Getting started with Wireshark

Wireshark has a friendly graphical user interface that makes it easier for the to analyze and
diagnose packets that passing through the network. No data will initially be displayed when
the user runs wireshark.
The environment and usage of wireshark will be explained further in this document.
To start capturing packets you need to select the interface which is connected to the
internet. This can be done by choosing Capture>>Interfaces from the Menu bar
The different interfaces available that WinPcap driver sees in the machine are shown and you can either
click start or click options for more options regarding capturing packets before starting the capture.
The following figure represents the Capture Option's Window
