NSSA 241 Lab 1 Instructions – Wireshark and IP Addressing Netlab Hints and Useful information: Be sure to review the questions in the frame below each activity. This will help you to be sure you have all the data needed before moving onto the next activity (or leaving for the day). Two students will work on one bench which has three PCs, unless otherwise directed. Throughout the lab, P = pod number and M = machine number. A pod consists of two benches for a total of six PCs. On one bench the PCs are numbered 1, 2, and 3. On the other bench the PCs are numbered 4, 5, and 6. In the instructions, when you see a PC indicated with 1/4 or 2/5 or 3/6 use the PCs as numbered on your side of the pod. For example, considering the IP address, 10.140.100.PM, P is the Pod number and M is the machine number with M=1 for PC1, M=2 for PC2, M=3 for PC3, M=4 for PC4, M=5 for PC5 or M=6 for PC6. Lab Objectives: Introduction to the Networking Lab Application of basic IP addressing principles PC-PC connectivity using a Cisco 3750 Switch and Ethernet patch cables Use of Packet Sniffer and filter capability Activity 0 - Setup Before beginning any lab, reboot Windows 10 on all PCs. Click on the Windows icon , then click on the power icon that appears and select the Restart. o You will notice that rebooting the machines resets anything that might have been changed before you came into the lab. This is important in starting with a clean slate as the settings will impact your experiments. 2205 Netlab – SPH/SPM Page 1
NSSA 241 Lab 1 Instructions – Wireshark and IP Addressing Netlab Activity 1 – Testing Network Adapter Cards and Protocol Stack For Windows 10 on PC1/4 and PC2/5 on your bench: 1. Open an MS-DOS command window on all bench PCs. Search for CMD using the search icon in the lower left-hand corner of your screen and hit enter. 2. Check the current network configuration for all three PCs using the command ipconfig /all in the DOS command window of each device. For this lab, we will be focusing on the Ethernet 2 adapter. Record the MAC and IP addresses for each NIC. 3. Carry out the following six pings at the command prompt in the MS-DOS command window. All the pings should all be successful. Remember P = pod number and M = machine number. ping 10.140.100.PM or ping <ip address> a. PC1/4 pings its own IP b. PC2/5 pings its own IP c. PC1/4 pings loopback, 127.0.0.1 d. PC2/5 pings loopback, 127.0.0.1 e. PC1/4 pings PC2/5 f. PC2/5 pings PC1/4 4. Test a continuous ping. Google how to start one and how to stop one. Examine the results. 2205 Netlab – SPH/SPM Page 2 Pod Name _________ Pod # _________ NIC Type(Description)___________________________________ Device Name Hardware (AKA Physical or MAC) Address Protocol (IPv4) Address PC1/4 PC2/5 PC3/6
NSSA 241 Lab 1 Instructions – Wireshark and IP Addressing Netlab Activity 1: Questions Use the website https://www.adminsub.net/?sc0=3 to help you answer the following questions. 1. What does the OUI website do? 2. Who is the manufacturer of the Ethernet adapters in the Networking Lab PCs ? 3. What organization manages the OUIs? 4. Identify two other Ethernet network card manufacturers from other Ethernet adapters other than the ones identified in the Networking lab. List each manufacturer with their corresponding 24 bit OUI in hexadecimal notation. 5. Explain how and where you found/identified the MAC address, the manufacturer and their OUI. 6. What are the IP addresses for the PCs on the bench where you are working? 7. What is the subnet mask for each PC? 8. What class of address is this? 9. Are these IP addresses dynamically or statically (manually) assigned? How did you determine this? 10. Explain the difference between dynamic and statically (manually) assigned IP addresses. 11. What is the purpose of pinging loopback address (127.0.0.1)? 12. What is the purpose of pinging your own IP address? 13. Explain the difference between a regular ping and a continuous ping. 14. Explain what is displayed after each ping is executed. You may need to do some Internet research. Be sure to explain each field. For example, what does bytes = 32 mean? What does time<1ms mean? What does TTL mean? Do more than spell out the acronym. Explain what this is reporting to someone who is testing the network using the ping utility. Activity 2 – Manually Configure Network Adapter Cards and Protocol Stack Configure the TCP/IP protocol stack on PC1/4, PC2/5 and PC3/6: 1. Find the network protocol settings. Click Windows Search, then search for network, select check network status . This will show that you are connected via the Ethernet 2 adapter. This is your primary NIC. At the bottom of this screen, select view network properties. You will see a lot of information about your network card here. Take a minute to read through this and think about what you are seeing. 2. Next, select the arrow to go back to the previous status screen. On the left, select Ethernet. Then select change adapter options. You will see one adapter labeled Ethernet 2 and two other virtual (VMware) adapters. Make note of the virtual adapters as this will be important when you are capturing traffic via Wireshark throughout the semester. 3. Select the Ethernet 2 adapter, then Properties -> Internet protocol 4. 2205 Netlab – SPH/SPM Page 3
