This lab assumes the use of any version of Windows. This is a non-destructive lab and can be done on any machine without concern of changing the system configuration. Ideally, this lab is performed in a classroom or other LAN environment that connects to the Internet. This lab can be done from a single remote connection via a modem or DSL-type connection. The student will need the IP addresses that were recorded in Lab 1. The instructor might also furnish additional IP addresses. In the following instructions the lab runs twice. The two runs reflect the operating system differences between the Windows. | Cisco Systems I Lab PC Network TCP IP Configuration Objective Identify tools used to discover a computer network configuration with various operating systems. Gather information including connection host name Layer 2 MAC address and Layer 3 TCP IP network address information. Compare network information to other PCs on the network. Background This lab assumes the use of any version of Windows. This is a non-destructive lab and can be done on any machine without concern of changing the system configuration. Ideally this lab is performed in a classroom or other LAN environment that connects to the Internet. This lab can be done from a single remote connection via a modem or DSL-type connection. The student will need the IP addresses that were recorded in Lab 1. The instructor might also furnish additional IP addresses. In the following instructions the lab runs twice. The two runs reflect the operating system differences between the Windows 95 98 ME systems and Windows NT 2000 XP systems. Students should perform the lab on both types of systems if possible. Note All users complete step 1 Step 1 Connect into the Internet Establish and verify connectivity to the Internet. This ensures the computer has an IP address. Note Windows 95 98 Me users complete steps 2 through 6. Step 2 Gather basic TCP IP configuration information Using the taskbar choose Start then Run. The following box will appear. Type winipcfg and press the Enter key. Winipcfg spelling is critical while case is not. It is short for Windows IP Configuration. This first screen shows us the Adapter Address or MAC address. The first screen also shows IP Address Subnet Mask and the Default Gateway. The following graphic shows the basic IP 1 - 6 CCNA 1 Networking Basics v - Lab Copyright 2003 Cisco Systems Inc. configuration screen. Select the correct adapter if more than one is listed. The IP address and the default gateway should be in the same network or subnet. Otherwise this host would not
