Name: Yaun, Michico M Score:

Course: BSAIS III- Alpha Date: November 18, 2021

TEST I – Identification. Write down the correct answers in the blank. (2 points each)

HTTP 1. An application protocol that governs the way a web server and a web client
interact.
Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) 2. Focused on long-term research related to Internet and TCP/IP
protocols.
Ethernet 3. Allows communication over a data link and the physical transmission of data on the network
media.
Protocol suites 4. The protocols are viewed in terms of layers, with each higher level service
depending on the functionality defined by the protocols shown in the lower
levels.
Networking cables 5. Are networking hardware used to connect one network device to other network
devices or to connect two or more computers to share printers, scanners etc.
Hubs 6. Do not decide anything and forwards any traffic to all of the ports. So, they are
not smart devices.
Bridge 7. Is a device that connects different Local Area Networks (LANs). It has single
incoming port and single outgoing port.
Menu bar 8. This is a common menu found in all software applications; it is used to open,
save, print, change preferences, and so on.
Network component box 9. This component contains all of the network and end devices available.
Workspace 10. This is the area where topologies are created and simulations are displayed.
TEST II – Enumerate the 5 basic Network Components and provide its usage - do not copy/paste from
the module, construct the sentences in your own understanding. (5 points each)

DEVICE USAGE

A hub is a physical layer networking device that connects

Hubs multiple networked devices. They're typically used to
connect computers in a local area network (LAN).

Bridges are devices that connect two or more LANs.

Bridge Bridges increase the network capacity of a single LAN by
connecting multiple LANs.

A switch is a networking device that uses packet switching

Switches to connect devices so that data can be received and
forwarded.

A router is a networking device that sends data from one

Router
computer network to another.

End Devices and Lan cables are used to connect users to

End Devices and LAN cable
the underlying communication network.
TEST III – Essay. Answer the questions briefly and clearly. (10 points each)

1. What is the significance of Packet Tracer?

 Packet Tracer provides a fun and interactive way to learn networking concepts and protocols.

Above all, Packet Tracer enables students and instructors to create their own virtual "network

worlds" for exploring, experimenting, and explaining networking concepts and technologies.

2. Why is a router better than a hub?

 Router is better than hub in terms of working. Router works at the network layer while Hubs

operates on the physical layer. Routers establish a simple connection between the networks in

order to provide the data flow between the networks. Router transfers data in the form of

packet is used in LAN as well as MAN. On the other hand, Hub is used to transmit the signal in

the form of electric signals and does not provide packet filtering. It is type of half duplex

transmission mode and is generally used in LAN only.

3. Why is PROTOCOLS and STANDARDS important?

 Protocols and standards enable networks to communicate with one another. Protocols enable

network components to communicate with each other, while standards enable network

components from different manufacturers to work together.

TEST IV – Lab skills. How do you make a simple network topology? Show us the step by step guide. Do
not copy from the module. (30 points)

Step 1: Start Packet Tracer

Choosing Devices and Connections

We will begin building our network topology by selecting devices and the media in which to connect
them. Several types of devices and network connections can be used. For this example, we will use End
Devices, Switches, Hubs, and Connections.

Step 2: Choose “Hub” and then select “Hub-PT”

Step 3: After selecting “Hub-PT” click on the main area.
You will see a hub.

Step 4: Select “End Devices” and then click at “PC-PT”.

Step 5: Click at the workspace to see the PC.
Repeat the above process to place as many PC as you want.

Step 6: Select “Connections” and click on “Automatically choose Connection Type”

Step 7: Draw connection from Hub to PCs.

Step 8: Double click on a PC, a box will appear. Click on the “Desktop” tab.
Step 9: Then select “IP configuration”.

Step 10: Write the IP address of your network and click at the Subnet mask filed. Subnet Mask will
appear automatically.
Step 11: Repeat step 10 to set the IPs for all the PCs.
Step 12: Select “Add simple message”

Step 13: Drag and Drop the message to the source device and then to the Destination device.
In this case my source device is PC1 and destination device is PC4.

Step 14: Select the Simulation Mode at the bottom right corner.

Step 15: Click at the play button.

Step 16: Observe the path of the Message from source to Hub, then to all devices. And then from
Destination to Hub back to the source.

Step 17: Finally observe the marks. If the source PC is marked correct it means you have successfully
established the connection.
