Week 1 LAB

Lab Overview

Scenario/Summary

Welcome to your Week 1 Lab.

The purpose of this week’s Lab is to

gain an understanding of some of the network troubleshooting
commands included in Microsoft’s operating systems; and

learn to navigate within a client-server networking
configuration and observe network traffic.

You will be working with the Skillsoft Practice Labs: Using
Show Commands to Investigate Network Status and Performing Switch Startup and
Initial Configuration.

In this lab, you will enhance understanding of the Week 1
material and write about the objectives of the lab.

Deliverables

You are required to submit a single lab report for the Week
1 Lab using the lab report template found in the Files section of the Course
Menu.

The lab report template contains two sections, listed below.

Section 1: Using Windows Applications as Network Tools

Section 2: Troubleshooting TCP/IP Problems Lab

Lab and Report Guidelines

Follow the guidelines below to successfully complete your
Lab in Skillsoft Practice Labs and complete your Lab report using the lab
report templates.

Use the lab report template for all of your Labs. Do not
turn in separate documents for each lab, or create your own document. Each lab
is easily identified within the document by an appropriate section title. Note:
It is a good idea to read over everything in the lab report template before
performing your Labs, so that you know what to expect.

Make sure that you read, understand, and follow all of the
steps in this week’s Lab page, as well as all Lab instructions.

For Labs that require screenshots, have your lab report open
along with your instructions, so that you can immediately capture the screen
and then paste it in your lab report before moving on to subsequent steps. In
many cases, it is difficult to go back and capture an accurate screenshot after
you have moved beyond the step requiring the screenshot.

Your screenshot request may be accompanied by an additional
written requirement. If so, be sure to respond. Write in complete sentences and
be complete in your answers.

When asked to summarize what you learned, always provide
well-written, college-level paragraphs that include well-formed sentences,
along with proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Don’t just identify the
steps that you performed (we already know those); give it some thought. In your
summary, include what you accomplished in the assignment or lab, what you
learned from performing it, how it relates to this week’s COs and course
material, and just as importantly, how you feel it will benefit you in your
academic and professional career.

Always append your name to your lab report before saving it.
Submit your completed lab report.

Please write your answers to each question in a different
color font to make it easier for the Professor to grade.

Taking Screenshots

The instructions below provide basic guidance on taking
screenshots of your labs.

Complete the lab step that you want to capture in a
screenshot.

Make sure the window you want to capture is in the
foreground (click on the window if it’s behind other windows or if it is
partially blocked).

Press the Print Screen key on your keyboard to copy it to
your clipboard. On some keyboards, it is written as Print Scrn or PrtSc .

Click on your lab report.

Scroll to the point in the lab report where you want the
screenshot to appear.

Right click on your mouse and click paste, or press Ctrl +
V.

Once your screenshot appears in your lab report, click on
your lab and continue to the next step.

Note:

If you are using Windows 7 (any version), you can use the
Snipping Tool to very easily create screenshots for your lab reports. If you’ve
never used it, perform a search on “How to Use the Snipping Tool” for
some quick tips and videos on its use. YouTube is always good for basic
“How To’s” in visual format.

Create your lab report using this template starting on page
2. It is not necessary to include this page in your lab report.

Enjoy your lab!
