Lab 2

Due: 2/26/2014Points: 30

Activity 1

Configuring Routes: In this part of the lab, you will learn how to add or update the routing table in windows by using the ROUTE command.

What we need:

·         192.168.2.2 on segment 192.168.2.0 need to communicate with network 192.168.24.0

Steps:

1.      Open a command prompt window.

2.      Within the command prompt window, type the appropriate ROUTE command using the syntax

Route add [destination] [mask subnetmask] [gateway] [metric m]

Route add 192.168.24.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.0

3.      To display the new route information type route print and press enter.

Activity 2

Troubleshooting TCP/IP and routing

1.      Identify and explain the function of IPconfig.

2.      Demonstrate the IPconfig utility in the command prompt.

3.      Identify and explain the function of PING.

4.      Demonstrate the PING utility in the command prompt.

5.      Identify and explain the function of TRACERT.

6.      Demonstrate the TRACERT utility in the command prompt.

A Windows Server can be configured to operate as a router. In this project, youview where to configure routing services in Windows Server.You need access toan account that has administrator privileges. In addition, Routing and Remote Accessservices and DHCP services should already be set up on the server you access.

To view where to configure Windows Server as a router:

1. Log on to the Windows Server.

2. Click Start,point toPrograms,point toAdministrative Tools(click the arrowto expand the menu, if necessary), and then click Routing and Remote Access.

3. Double-click IP Routingin the tree to view the options under it. Notice that the server can act as a general router, or have a specificrole, such as a DHCP relay agent for a server that automatically assigns IPaddresses.

4. Close the Routing and Remote Access window.

Activity 3

In this part of the lab, you have a task to configure TCP/IP (i.e. set up a static IP address) on a windows PC.

What you need:

·         IP address on the PC should be 192.128.142.19

·         The subnet mask should be 255.255.0.0

·         The gateway IP address is 192.128.100.1

·         No DNS and DHCP are being used.

Steps:

1.      First you need to configure the IP address. Access the Network and Dial-up connections window and launch the local area connections properties dialog box.

2.      Locate and select the TCP/IP protocol component in the connection window. This activates the properties button below the window. Click the properties button to display the TCP/IP properties dialog box.

3.      Choose the manual method of assigning an IP address.

4.      Enter the information provided in the appropriate fields. Click ok after entering all the information. Click ok again to exit the local area connections.
