MIS Network Labs

1. Review of binary, hex, and decimal numbers with bit operations. Basic introduction to ASCII and Unicode character sets.
   A. Convert the following decimal numbers into binary and hex: 192, 127, 39, 953, 21153.
   B. Compute the following values: 00001111 AND 192, 0101010101 OR 65, 212 OR 37.
   C. Convert http into ASCII and Unicode (using two language sets).
2. Create network cables for the instructor podiums.
3. Begin configuring the network lab client computers. Build cables if necessary.
4. Download and install Ethereal on the client computers. Run the program and capture some sample network traffic.
5. Randomly choose an IP address from each of the three classes (A, B, and C). Use Internic to find out who owns each address and the name and location of the hosting company. You have a Class C IP address and want to segment your network with subnets to isolate traffic. What subnet mask would you use if you want 5 subnets? Using book or Internet resources, identify the maximum number of subnets available with that mask and the number of hosts allowed per each subnet.
6. Set up a server for the class network. Configure DHCP and DNS. Alter the client computers to work with the new server.
7. Use telnet, ping, and tracert on the network to display basic network data. List the various options of the Net command and briefly explain what each one does.
8. Rebuild the class servers and install Active Directory. Create user accounts. Add the client computers to the system and test the login.
9. Find estimates of various WAN services. Compare them with values found by other students.
10. Write the Cisco router Access list command to prevent anyone from a subnet (138.9.15.xxx) from accessing the data behind the main router you are working on. Write a an access list for Web hosting that permits access to Web sites (www) but nothing else.
11. Configure the basic firewall on the Windows client computers.
12. Reinstall the server and client software and configure everything to use IPv6.
