 EXPERIMENT-1

Aim: Study of different types of Network cables and practically implements the cross-
wired cable andstraight through cable using clamping tool.

Apparatus (Components): RJ-45 connector, Climping Tool, Twisted pair cable

Procedure: To do these practical following steps should be done:

1. Start by stripping off about 2 inches of the plastic jacket off the end of the cable. Be
very careful at this point, as to not nick or cut into the wires, which are inside. Doing
so could alter the characteristics of your cable, or even worse render is useless. Check
the wires, one more time for nicks or cuts. If thereare any, just whack the whole end
off, and start over.

2. Spread the wires apart, but be sure to hold onto the base of the jacket with your
other hand. You do not want the wires to become untwisted down inside the jacket.
Category 5 cable must only have 1/2 of an inch of 'untwisted' wire at the end; otherwise
it will be 'out of spec'. At this point, you obviously haveALOT more than 1/2 of an inch
of un-twisted wire.

3. You have 2 end jacks, which must be installed on your cable. If you are using a pre-
made cable, withone of the ends whacked off, you only have one end to install - the
crossed over end. Below are two diagrams, which show how you need to arrange the
cables for each type of cable end. Decide at this point which end you are making and
examine the associated picture below.

Diagram shows you how to prepare Cross wired connection:

 EXPERIMENT-2

Aim: Study of following Network Devices in Detail.

• Repeater

• Hub

• Switch

• Bridge

• Router

• Gate Way

Apparatus (Software): No software or hardware

needed. Procedure: Following should be done to

understand this practical.

1. Repeater: Functioning at Physical Layer. A repeater is an electronic device that

receives a signaland retransmits it at a higher level and/or higher power, or onto
the other side of an obstruction, so that the signal can cover longer distances.
Repeater has two ports, so cannot be used to connect for more than two devices.

2. Hub: An Ethernet hub, active hub, network hub, repeater hub, hub or
concentrator is a device for connecting multiple twisted pair or fiber optic
Ethernet devices together and making them actas a single network segment.
Hubs work at the physical layer (layer 1) of the OSI model. The device is a form
of multiport repeater. Repeater hubs also participate in collision detection,
forwarding a jam signal to all ports if it detects a collision.

3. Switch: A network switch or switching hub is a computer networking device

that connects network segments. The term commonly refers to a network bridge
that processes and routes dataat the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model.
Switches that additionally process data at the network layer (layer 3 and above)
are often referred to as Layer 3 switches or multilayer switches.

4. Bridge: A network bridge connects multiple network segments at the data link
layer (Layer 2) ofthe OSI model. In Ethernet networks, the term bridge formally
means a device that behaves according to the IEEE 802.1 D standards. A bridge
and switch are very much alike; a switch being a bridge with numerous ports.
Switch or Layer 2 switch is often used interchangeably withbridge. Bridges can
analyze incoming data packets to determine if the bridge is able to send the
given packet to another segment of the network.

5. Router: A router is an electronic device that interconnects two or more
computer networks, andselectively interchanges packets of data between them.
Each data packet contains address information that a router can use to
determine if the source and destination are on the same network, or if the data
packet must be transferred from one network to another. Where multiple
routers are used in a large collection of interconnected networks, the routers
exchange information about target system addresses, so that each router can
build up a table showing the preferred paths between any two systems on the
interconnected networks.

6. Gate Way: In a communications network, a network node equipped for

interfacing with anothernetwork that uses different protocols.
 A gateway may contain devices such as protocol translators,
impedance matching devices, rate converters, fault isolators, or
signal translators as necessary to providesystem interoperability. It
also requires the establishment of mutually acceptable
administrative procedures between both networks.
 A protocol translation/mapping gateway interconnects networks with
different networkprotocol technologies by performing the required
protocol conversions.

127 networks.
Class B 128.1.0.1 to Supports 65,000 hosts on each of
191.255.255.254 16,000 networks
Class C 192.0.1.1 to Supports 254 hosts on each of 2
223.255.254.254 million networks.
Class D 224.0.0.0 to Reserved for multicast groups.
239.255.255.255
Class E 240.0.0.0 to Reserved.

10. Click OK. You receive the following message:

When Internet Connection Sharing is enabled, your LAN adapter will be set to use IP
address 192.168.0.1. Your computer may lose connectivity with other computers on
your network. If these othercomputers have static IP addresses, it is a good idea to set
them to obtain their IP addresses automatically. Are you sure you want to enable
Internet Connection Sharing?

11. Click Yes.

The connection to the Internet is shared to other computers on the local area network
(LAN).

The network adapter that is connected to the LAN is configured with a static IP
address of 192.168.0.1and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

 EXPERIMENT-5
Aim: Study of basic network command and Network configuration commands.

Apparatus (Software): Command Prompt And Packet Tracer.

Procedure:

To do this EXPERIMENT- follows these steps:

In this EXPERIMENT- students have to understand basic networking commands e.g ping,
tracert etc.

All commands related to Network configuration which includes how to switch to

privilege mode and normal mode and how to configure router interface and how to
save this configuration to flash memoryor permanent memory.

This commands includes

• Configuring the Router commands

• General Commands to configure network
• Privileged Mode commands of a router
• Router Processes & Statistics
• IP Commands
• Other IP Commands e.g. show ip route etc.

ping:
ping(8) sends an ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packet to the specified host. If the host
responds, you get anICMP packet back. Sound strange? Well, you can “ping” an IP
address to see if a machine is alive. If there is no response, you know something is
wrong.

10
tracert:
tracert is a command which can show you the path a packet of information takes from
your computer to one you specify. It will list all the routers it passes through until it
reaches its destination, or fails to and is discarded. In addition to this, it will tell you
how long each 'hop' from router to router takes.
