Lab 1: Adding a Static IP Address to a Device

Scenario: We have been allocated a whole class B range of IP addresses ranging from 169.4.1.1 to 169.44.255.1
Step 1
Connect two workstations to a switch as shown below:
Step 2
For Workstation A give it the following properties:
IP address = 169.44.1.1
Subnet mask = 255.255.0.0
Step 3
For Workstation B give it the following properties:
IP address = 169.44.255.254
Subnet mask = 255.255.0.0
Step 4
Load up the command prompt for the left workstation. Type in "ipconfig" and press enter, the output should be as
shown below:
Step 5
Attempt to ping (communicate) with Workstation B by typing "ping 169.44.255.254" and press enter.
Workstation A should be successful communicating with Workstation B through the switch. Your output should
file:///C:/Users/arief/AppData/Local/Temp/~hh68EF.htm 11/24/2020
be as shown below
Step 6
Now we are going to subnet the network by changing the subnet mask. Change the subnet mask for both
workstation A and workstation B to 255.255.255.0
Step 7
Go back to the command prompt on Workstation A and try to ping Workstation B. Your results should be as
shown below.
Q1 Can you explain why pinging workstation B failed?
Q2 Change the IP address of Workstation B to 169.44.1.100. Attempt to ping Workstation B. The results should
as shown below.
Can you explain why communication between Workstation A and Workstation B was successful?
Q3 Why is there a need to subnet networks
Q4 We have been allocated a class C range of IP addresses from 196.22.15.0 to 196.22.15.254. What subnet
mask should be used for all the workstations if I plan to create 4 networks each consisting of approximately 50
workstations. What are the Network ID and ranges of IP address for each of the 4 networks? You can use
iNetwork Simulator to get the Network ID for each workstation in a network.

names? Justify your answer.
Lab 4: Static Routing

As we have seen in the previous exercise on subnetting. A routing device is required for computers on different
networks to communicate. This exercise will focus on getting computers on different networks to communicate
via a router. It is recommended that you have completed the exercise on subnetting before continuing.
At the end of this lab, you should have developed an understanding of how routers operate and also be able to

Q6 On pc1 load up the command prompt and type "tracert 192.168.4.100". Record your results.
Step 17
The routing table on router1 should be as shown below. You will notice that is has no idea how to connect to the
192.168.3.0 and the 192.168.4.0 network. We are going to manually add routes to the routing table so that it
recognises these 2 networks
Add the following 2 routes to the routing table on router1
After modifying the routing table on router1, the routing table should be similar to the one shown below:
Q7 On pc1 load up the command prompt and type "tracert 192.168.4.100" and press enter. Your results should
appear as shown below. Can you explain why this is occurring even after modifying the routing table on router1?
How can you make it so that PC1 192.168.1.100 can communicate with PC4 192.168.4.100? Record the results of
"tracert 192.168.4.100" when its all working.
Lab 6: Dynamic Routing (RIPv1)

You should complete the exercises on static routing before continuing with dynamic routing. Notice in the last
exercise how troublesome it was to manually add routes for different networks to each router. In a large network
with hundreds of routers, maintaining the routing table statically would be ridiculous. We will now configure the
previous network using RIP version 1 a dynamic routing protocol.
RIP v1 specification:
l The longest path cannot exceed 15 hops

l RIP uses metrics to compare routes
l The maximum datagram size is 512 bytes not including the IP or UDP headers
l It does not support a variable-length subnet mask, which means it sends routing updates based only on a fixed-
length subnet mask or routes that fall on classful boundaries. RIP v1 therefore will not work with a network
that has been subnetted beyond the normal 255.0.0.0, 255.255.0.0, 255.255.255.0.
At the end of this lab you should have an understanding of how RIP updates a router's routing table and you
should also be able to configure a router using RIP
Step 1

Step 18
IP Address: 192.168.4.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Note
In the a real network involving RIP enabled routers, the routers will send our a RIP request after a particular time
interval, this time interval is configurable but is usually set to 30seconds on most brand name routers. iNetwork
does not automatically send out RIP request as it makes it difficult to track changes to the routing table. In order
for the RIP routers to update its routing table you will need to right click on the router device and click on "Send
RIP Request".
Q1 Record the routing table for router1.
Q2 Record the routing table for router2.
Q3 Right click on router1 and click "Send RIP Request". Record the routing table on router1.
Q4 Right click on router2 and click "Send RIP Request". Record the routing table on router2
Q5 On pc4 load up the command prompt and type "ping 192.168.1.100", record your results.
Q7 What transport protocol and port is used when sending its RIP request packets? Refer to the Activity Logs.

Lab 8: Simulating Firewall Behaviour

This particular lab requires you to setup the network in the Firewall Section of this help component
Step 1
Right click on pc2 and select "Command Prompt".
Step 2
In the command prompt, "ping" pc1. Since we have set up the firewall to block all ICMP traffic from pc2 to pc1
(i.e. Rule 0), the following results will be obtained:
Step 3
You can examine the behaviour of the firewall by viewing the activity log. You will note that the ICMP packet is
"dropped" because it matches Rule 0.
Step 4
Reset the activity log.
Step 5
Close the command prompt
Step 6
Right click on pc3 and select "Command Prompt"
Step 7
In the command prompt, "ping" pc1. Since we have set up the firewall to block all ICMP traffic from pc3 to pc1
(i.e. Rule 0), the following results will be obtained:
Step 8
You can examine the behaviour of the firewall by viewing the activity log. You will note that the ICMP packet is
"denied" because it matches Rule 1. Also note the differences between the "deny" and "drop" actions of a firewall.
When a packet is "denied", the firewall responds with an ICMP Destination Unreachable packet. When a packet is
"dropped", there is no response from the firewall.
Step 9
Reset the activity log.
Step 10
Step 11
Right click on pc4 and select "Command Prompt"
Step 12
In the command prompt, "ping" pc1. Since this ICMP packet does not match either Rule 0 or Rule 1, the following
results will be obtained:
Step 13
Q1 What happens if Rule 2 and Rule 1 of the firewall are swapped?
Use the "Move Up" or "Move Down" button in the "Firewall Settings" to change the order of the two rules (see
below) and perform the steps in Section 7.4 again to simulate the behaviour of the new ruleset.
Q2 What happens if you attempt to send TCP or UDP packets across the firewall?
Use the "Firewall Simulation" window to send TCP or UDP packets from a workstation. To access this window,
right click on the workstation you wish to send the packet from (i.e. pc1, pc2, pc3 or pc4):
Then select "Firewall Simulation":
On this window enter the relevant information (i.e. protocol, source port, destination IP address and destination
port) and click on the "Send Packet" button to send the packet. Use the activity log to analyse the results.

Step 15: Make a valid HTTP Request

The most common way to make a HTTP request is through requesting a website in a web browser. (It is not
necessary to have internet access to simulate a HTTP request.)
Open a Web Browser by right-clicking on the Workstation Client and left-clicking on "HTTP Simulation".
Make a HTTP request for a website by entering in the address text box "http://www.yahoo.com.au" and left-click
on "GO" button.
If the HTTP request was successful, then either the actual website or the default success website will load up,
depending whether internet access is provided or not.
Q1 Write down the HTTP request message after you successfully requested www.yahoo.com.au.
You can also view the "Activity Log" that provides the details of the HTTP request and receiving the HTTP
response.
Q2 What port number was the TCP connection established on?
Step 16: Make an invalid HTTP Request

Repeat Step 15, but this time make a request for "http://www.uts.edu.au" and see what happens.
Q3 Why was this request unsuccessful?
Lab 10: Setting up a HTTP Network with a

Gateway Server
Step 1: Construct a Simple HTTP Network
Construct the simple HTTP network using the instructions in HTTP Server Simulation.
Step 2: Add Gateway Server

Add a Gateway Server to the drawing pane
Step 3: Connect the Gateway Server and Switch 1 (Do this before
configuring the Gateway Server)
The Gateway Server presents acts on behalf of the HTTP Server and so the Gateway Server and the HTTP Server
must be connected to the same Switch.
Connect the Gateway Server and Switch 1

The HTTP network with Gateway Server is now complete and should look similar to the following screen capture.
Step 4: Configure Gateway Server

Configure a Gateway Server by selecting "Configure IP". Enter in the following details in the appropriate fields as
Then left-click on the "Origin Server" tab on the top of the window. (This will specify which HTTP Server the
Gateway will act on behalf.) Left-click on the "Find Origin Server" button and the IP address of the HTTP Server
connected to the same switch will appear. If it does not appear in the IP Address field then you may need to check
you have setup the network properly.
The IP Address should be "192.168.2.2", the same as the HTTP Server.
Then left-click on the "Cache" tab on the top of the window.

Now tick the "Enable Cache Services" box
Step 5: Make valid HTTP Request

Open a Web Browser on the workstation client by selecting "HTTP Simulation".
Make a HTTP request for a website by entering in the address text box "http://www.yahoo.com.au" and press
enter.
You can also view the "Activity Log" that provides the details of making the HTTP request and receiving the
HTTP response.
Q1 How many hops between HTTP components were made?
Q2 Between which HTTP components - Workstation, Proxy, Gateway and HTTP Server did these hops occur?
Q3 Between which two components was a TCP connection established and why?
Step 6: Make Cached HTTP Request

If you again make the same HTTP request, in the Activity Log the number of hops would have decreased because
the Gateway Server already had the appropriate response cached.
You can view the Cached Websites Table by right-clicking on the Gateway Server and left-clicking on "Configure
Cache".
You will notice that the website has been cached with the date and time of when it was cached.
Q4 How many hops between HTTP components were made this time?

Then left-click on the "Cache" tab on the top of the window.

Now tick the "Enable Cache Services" box
Step 4: Connect Switch 0 and Proxy Server

The Proxy Server presents requests on behalf of the client and so the Proxy Server and the Workstation Client
must be connected to the same Switch.
Connect the Proxy Server and Switch 0 (the same switch the Workstation Client is connected to)
The HTTP network with Proxy Server is now complete and should look similar to the following screen capture
Step 5: Make Valid HTTP Request

Open a Web Browser on the Workstation Client by selecting "HTTP Simulation".
Make a HTTP request for a website by entering in the address text box "http://www.yahoo.com.au" and press
enter.
You can also view the "Activity Log" that provides the details of making the HTTP request and receiving the
HTTP response.
This time you will notice that the request was forwarded to the Proxy Server and the Proxy Server handled the
request then forwarded the appropriate response back to the Workstation Client.
The number of hops between HTTP components would have increased due to the use of the Proxy Server.
Q1 How many hops between HTTP components were made?
Q2 Between which HTTP components - Workstation, Proxy, Gateway and HTTP Server did these hops occur?
Q3 Between which two components was a TCP connection established and why?
Step 6: Make Cached HTTP Request

If you again make the same HTTP request, the number of hops in the Activity Log would have decreased because
the Proxy Server already had the appropriate response cached.
You can also view the Cached Websites Table by right-clicking on the Proxy Server and left-clicking on
"Configure Cache".
You will notice that the website has been cached with the date and time of when it was cached.
Q4 How many hops between HTTP components were made this time?

Step 9: Add and connect a Workstation Client to each of the Wireless

Routers
Add a Workstation Client for each Wireless Router and connect them as follows:
Connect WorkstationClient0 to WirelessRouter0
The drawing pane should look something similar to the following:
Step 10: Configure each of the Workstation Clients

Configure each of the WorkstationClients and left-click "Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP)" and
"Obtain DNS Server addresses automatically (DHCP)" as shown below. Click "OK".
Turn each of the Workstation Clients off and then back on. This will reset each of the clients and obtain a dynamic
IP Address from the Wireless Routers.
Step 11: View Available Wireless Networks

View the available Wireless networks within range of the Wireless Workstation by left-clicking on "View
Available Wireless Networks".
Left-click on the "Refresh" button on the bottom left and it should look something similar to the following screen
capture:
Step 12: Connect to Wireless Network

To connect to a available wireless network on the list, simply left-click the desired network and click "Connect".
Select the SSID bluzone from the list of available networks and click on the “Connect” button. Since the wireless
network has a disabled encryption type the status will change to "Connected" and will not require a password.
Now try to connect to the other networks by firstly disconnecting from the existing connection and then use the
network keys configured on the Wireless Routers to connect to the respective networks.
Step 13: Wireless Workstation Command Prompt Simulation

In order to test whether the wireless connection was successful we will now complete the Command Prompt
simulation, similar to as if it was a wired connection.
Open the command prompt on the Wireless Workstation and attempt a "ping" on the connected Workstation
Client connected to the Wireless Router that the Wireless Workstation is currently connected to. For example,
type "ping 192.168.1.100" if the Wireless Workstation is currently connected to the "bluzone" network.
You can now try each of the other wireless networks to test whether the connection actually works.
Step 14: Workstation Client Command Prompt Simulation

Conversely, open the Command Prompt for the Workstation Client that is connected to the same network the
Wireless Workstation is and try and ping the Wireless Workstation. For example, open up the Command Prompt
and type "ping 192.168.1.101".
You can also try combining this wireless network with a HTTP network in order to make requests from the
wireless workstation.
