NTC 324 LAB 10
CONFIGURING IPV4 AND IPV6 ADDRESSING
THIS LAB CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES AND ACTIVITIES:

Exercise 10.1
Exercise 10.2
Lab Challenge
Exercise 10.3	Calculating IP Addresses
Manually Configuring TCP/IP
Configuring TCP/IP Using Windows PowerShell
Testing Network Connections

Exercise 10.1	Calculating IP Addresses
Overview
	In this exercise, you are responsible for subnetting a network to suit a particular network organization plan.
Mindset	What IPv4 addressing policies does your organization have in place?
Completion time	20 minutes

To complete this exercise, you must determine what IPv4 addresses you should use on the workgroup for which you are responsible. Your supervisor has assigned you a group of computers that consists of three servers and seven workstations. Your entire department must share an IPv4 network with the address 192.168.75.0/24, and your supervisor has asked you to subnet that address into as many networks as possible with at least 10 hosts each. 
Create a list of the network addresses your subnetting can create, using CIDR notation. Then choose one of the subnets for use by your computers and list the IP addresses in that subnet, along with the correct subnet mask value.

The MAC addresses of three computers on your network are listed in Table 10-4. Using these MAC addresses to form interface IDs, create three unique local unicast addresses on the fd00::/8 network and enter them into the table. 
Table 10-4
MAC Addresses and IPv6 Addresses 
Computer 	MAC Address	  IPv6 Address
SVR-DC-A	12-AA-BC-32-23-12	
SVR-MBR-B	12-AA-BC-32-23-11	
SVR-MBR-C	00-15-5D-01-01-C1	

Exercise 10.2	Manually Configuring TCP/IP
Overview
	In this exercise, you configure the IP addresses and other TCP/IP configuration parameters for your computers, using the graphical tools in Windows Server 2012.
Mindset	What parameters do you have to configure to ensure that the computers on your network can communicate with each other?
Completion time	20 minutes

1.	Using the IP addresses you calculated in Exercise 10.1, specify the values you will use when configuring your computers by filling in the empty cells in the Table 10-5 in your worksheet.

Table 10-5
TCP/IP Configuration Settings for Exercise 10.2
	SVR-DC-A	SVR-MBR-B	SVR-MBR-C
IP Address			
Subnet Mask			
Preferred DNS Server			


Question 1	How did the computer obtain its current IP address? How can you determine this?




Question2	Which of the parameters in the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties sheet would you have to omit for your computer to be unable to resolve a computer name into its IP address?





15.	Take a screen shot of the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties sheet on SVR-MBR-B by pressing Alt+Prt Scr, and then paste the resulting image into the Lab 10 worksheet file in the page provided by pressing Ctrl+V.

Lab
Challenge	Configuring TCP/IP with Windows PowerShell
Overview
	In addition to using Server Manager, you can also manually configure TCP/IP on servers using Windows PowerShell. 
Completion time	10 minutes

To complete this challenge, you must use Windows PowerShell commands on the SVR-MBR-C server to configure the TCP/IP client to use the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Preferred DNS Server address you specified for that computer in Table 10-5 and the IPv6 address you calculated in Table 10-4. Write the necessary commands in the Lab 10 worksheet.







Exercise 10.3	Testing Network Connections
Overview
	After manually configuring the three servers’ TCP/IP clients, you must test them by trying to connect to the other servers on the network. In this exercise, you use the Ping utility to test the computer- communications capabilities.
Completion time	10 minutes


Question3	What does this result prove about the computer- network connectivity?



Question 4	What would be the result if you unplugged a computer- network cable before executing the ping 127.0.0.1 command?




Question 5	What does the result of this ping test prove?



Question 6	How was the computer able to resolve the name svr-dc-a into its IP address?




Question7	Why did these three ping tests fail, when the previous tests succeeded?
