Connor - 16 April 2014

Homework:

Chapter 4:

Lab: 4.1.4.5 - you can convert it to a packet tracer lab

Read: 4.2    
Do:  Activity 4.2.2.5

Read 4.3
Do Activity  4.3.1.4

Packet Tracer :  5.4.1.2

Thursday:  We will start Chapter 5 Inter-VLAN Routing

14 April 2014 - Networking for IT Essentials

Let's finish making cables.
  Follow lab 6.4.2.4 use a piece of masking tape to label the cable w your name.
  Packet tracer 6.4.2.5

Review logical and physical topologies - 6.5.1
  Packet tracer 6.5.1.2

Ethernet standards 6.6
IEEE 802.3 = CSMA/CD  what is that?

Create a table of wireless standards

Read and take notes on 6.7 & do the end of section activity.

OSI Model video link.  Use videonot.es to take notes.

A good reference 

http://computernetworkingnotes.com/osi-layer-modals/advantage-of-osi-layer.html

Today we will complete our rendering of the OSI model on the wall.

Create your own mnuemonic for OSI 

6.8.1.1 - Make a poster listing network installation steps - use words, pictures.....

  Everyone can make their own on a sheet of 8 x 11

Keep reading about NIC installation - we only have 2 wireless NICs. Do the Packet tracer lab.

7 April 2014 - Initial Switch Configuration

Initial Switch Configuration

• Set hostname
• Set privileged EXEC mode password (enable password xxxxx)
• Set privileged EXEC mode secret password (enable secret xxxxx)
• Configure the console and VTY lines to use a password
• Configure the Switch Management Interface on VLAN1
•                  interface vlan1
•                  set the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway
• Save Configuration

Initial Router Configuration

• Set hostname
• Disable DNS - (no ip domain-lookup)
• Set privileged EXEC mode password (enable password xxxxx)
• Set privileged EXEC mode secret password (enable secret xxxxx)
• Configure MOTD
• Configure the console and VTY lines to use a password
• Configure interfaces and static routing
•                fastethernet or gigabit
•                serial - don't forget clock rate for DCE side
• Create static route (ip route )
• Save Configuration

Configure a Routing Protocol

• remove static route
• enable routing protocol

25 March 2015 - ITE

Wrapping up Chapter 5 - Operating Systems

The quarter ends this Friday.   I will accept test corrections for Chapter 5.  Review each missed question and write a short response with the correct answer.  You may physically turn it in or share with grover.comptech@gmail.com by Friday.  

If you need to take the test, make arrangements with me to come in during a study hall or after school.

Introduction to Networking

This one of my favorite chapters!

We will be learning:

•     The Principles of networking
• Types of Networks
• Basic networking concepts and technologies
• physical components of a network
• topologies
• ethernet standards
• OSI and TCP/IP model
• configure a NIC
• technologies used for connectivity
• network PMs
• troubleshooting networks

Today's focus will be:

• What is network?
• What are the benefits of networking?
• Does it have drawbacks?
• Types of networks - We will cover 7 types.

New Terms:

• network
• compper cable
• fiber-optic cable
• host
• wireless connection
• internet
• LAN
• PAN
• WLAN
• MAN
• WAN
• network administration
• peer to peer computing
• client/server network
• QoS

24 March 2014 - Routing

We are going old school today .... The Netacad.com site is down.

Todays topics:

crossover cables - build one

Router boot up process

reading the show version output

     look at wikipedia Cisco IOS for further info on understanding versions

static vs dynamic routing
     Routing Tables
      reading the show ip route command

encapsulation  HDLC, Frame Relay, PPP
hdlc, ppp, frame relay


Routing Protocols:

primary object is to determine the best patch to include in the routing table

May use one of the following metrics:  Hop Count (RIP) or Bandwidth (OSPF)

Path Determination:
     Directly connected network  (destination address in on same network as interface)
     Remote network (destination is on a remote network - packet forwarded to another router)
     No route determined (drops packet, send ICMP unreachable message to source)

The switching function of the router accepts the packet on one interface and forwards it out another.

          decapsulates layer 3 packet removing Layer 2 frame header and trailer
          examines IP address to find best route
          encapsulates Layer 3 packet in new Layer 2 frame and sends it out

     Layer 3 packet does not change except for the TTL.  Layer 2 updates source and destination data-link addresses.

19 March 2014 - Intro

Enough of the Alice Already!!!!!

I really liked the stories you have developed so far.  Feel free to continue to work on them.

We are moving onto independent programming.

Timmy (and Dustin)-  x code

Mikey - Visual Studio

Jonathan - Javascript

Dylan - Javascript

Micah - exploring options
