1. Session 1: Networking Tools
Networking is a telecommunications network that allows computers to exchange data. In
computer networks, networked computing devices pass data to each other along data
connections. Data is transferred in the form of packets. The connections between nodes are
established using either cable media or wireless media. Networking Cable preparation basically
needs the following tools:
1.1. Crimping tool
A crimping tool is a tool designed to crimp or connect a connector to the end of a cable. For
example, network cables and phone cables are created using a crimping tool to connect the RJ-45
and RJ-11 connectors to the end of the cable. The crimper in picture below is capable of
crimping a RJ-11 (6-Pin) and RJ-45 (8-Pin) connectors and also includes a wire cutter near the
handles that can be used to cut phone or CAT5 cable.
To use this crimping tool, each wire is first placed into the connector. Once all the wires are in
the jack, the connectors with wires are placed into the crimping tool, and the handles are
squeezed together. Crimping makes the plastic connector puncture and hold each of the wires,
which prevents the wires from falling out and for data to be transmitted from the connector to
each of the wires.

2
1.2. RJ-45
Short for Registered Jack-45, RJ-45 is an 8-pin connection used for Ethernet network adapters.
The picture below shows is RJ-45 connector separated from the cable. This connector is most
commonly connected to the end of Cat5 cable, which is connected between a computer network
card and a network device such as a network router.
1.3. RJ-11
More commonly known as a modem port, phone connector, phone jack or phone line, the RJ-11
is short for Registered Jack-11 and is a four or six wire connection primarily used for telephones
and computer modem connectors in the United States. The picture is an example image of what
the RJ-11 phone cable and connection looks like. Although this cable can be used to connect
your modem to the Internet it should not be confused with the RJ-45 connector, which is used
with your network card.
1.4. NIC
Short for Network Interface Card, a NIC is also commonly referred to as an Ethernet card and network
adapter and is an expansion card that enables a computer to connect to a network such as a home network
or the Internet using an Ethernet cable with a RJ-45 connector. The picture below is an example of a SMC
EZ Card 10/100 PCI network card, a network card commonly found in most desktop computers today that
do not already have an onboard network on their motherboard.

3
1.5. Cable tester
A cable tester is a device that is used to test the strength and connectivity of a particular type of cable or
other wired assemblies. There are a number of different types of cable testers, each able to test a specific
type of cable or wire (some may be able to test different types of cables or wires). The cable tester can test
whether a cable or wire is set up properly, connected to the appropriate source points, and if the
communication strength between the source and destination is strong enough to serve its intended
purpose. The picture below is an example of a cable tester.

4
2. Session 2: Cabling methods
2.1. Types of Network Cables
Once you have the necessary equipment needed to create your own network cables you need to
determine the network cable you want to create. There are two major network cables: a straight
through cable and a crossover cable.
The twisted-pair cables consist of four twisted wires, each color coded; one a solid color and the
other a stripped color. As seen below, most network cables consist of a green, blue, orange, and
brown pair of cables.
There are two cable standards T568A and T568B, each twisted-pair must be broken apart to
create the layout as shown above. If you want to create a straight through cable both ends of the
cable should be identical and should match the T568A example shown above. If you want to
create a crossover cable one end of the cable should match T568A and the other should match
T568B.
Once you have separated the ends of the cable to match one of the above examples place the
cables into the RJ-45 connector and then use the crimping tool to attach the connector. Do these
steps for each side of the cable. Once both ends of the cable have been completed connect the
cable to make sure it is working.
2.2. Color Code Standards
Let's start with simple pin-out diagrams of the two types of UTP Ethernet cables and watch how
committees can make a can of worms out of them. Here are the diagrams:

5
Note that the TX (transmitter) pins are connected to corresponding RX (receiver) pins, plus to
plus and minus to minus. Crossover cable used to connect units with identical interfaces. If you
use a straight-through cable, one of the two units must, in effect, perform the cross-over function.
If we apply the 568A color code and show all eight wires, our pin-out looks like this:
Note that pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 and the blue and brown pairs are not used in either standard. Quite
contrary to what you may read elsewhere, these pins and wires are not used or required to
implement 100BASE-TX duplexing they are just plain wasted.
However, the actual cables are not physically that simple. In the diagrams, the orange pair of
wires is not adjacent. The blue pair is upside-down. The right ends match RJ-45 jacks and the
left ends do not. If, for example, we invert the left side of the 568A "straight"-thru cable to
match a 568A jack--put one 180° twist in the entire cable from end-to-end--and twist together
and rearrange the appropriate pairs, we get the following can-of-worms:

6
This further emphasizes, I hope, the importance of the word "twist" in making network cables
which will work. You cannot use a flat-untwisted telephone cable for a network cable.
Furthermore, you must use a pair of twisted wires to connect a set of transmitter pins to their
corresponding receiver pins. You cannot use a wire from one pair and another wire from a
different pair.
Keeping the above principles in mind, we can simplify the diagram for a 568A straight-thru
cable by untwisting the wires, except the 180° twist in the entire cable, and bending the ends
upward. Likewise, if we exchange the green and orange pairs in the 568A diagram we will get a
simplified diagram for a 568B straight-thru cable. If we cross the green and orange pairs in the
568A diagram we will arrive at a simplified diagram for a crossover cable. All three are shown
below.
3. Session 3: Straight through cabling
Straight through cable (T568A) is a network cable that connects a computer to a network device. It
connects a computer to a network hub, network switch, and network routers.
Exercise: Prepare and test the Straight through cable whether it is properly working or not.
4. Session 4: Crossover Cabling
A crossover cable (T568A & T568B) connects two devices of the same type. It is a cable that is used to
interconnect two computers by "crossing over" (reversing) their respective pin contacts and Network
device to network device, For example, router to router.
Exercise: Prepare and test the crossover cable whether it is properly working or not.

5. Session 5: Peer – to – Peer workgroup Network Configuration
5.1. Definition of Peer to peer networking
Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing or networking is a distributed application architecture that
partitions tasks or workloads between peers. Peers are equally privileged, equipotent participants
in the application. They are said to form a peer-to-peer network of nodes.
Peers make a portion of their resources, such as processing power, disk storage or network
bandwidth, directly available to other network participants, without the need for central
coordination by servers or stable hosts.
Workgroup networking is the most essentials part of computer networking. For setting up the
network in real life environment consider the following approach before taking any final
decision on workgroup network: In this article we would configure IP address and Run Set up a
home or small office Network Wizard.
 Determine your requirements
 Choose between wired and wireless media

7. Session 7: Dial UP Internet Connection and Configuration
Dial up internet connection is a form of Internet access that uses the facilities of the public
switched telephone network (PSTN) to establish a dialled connection to an Internet service
provider (ISP) via telephone lines. The user's computer or router uses an attached modem to
encode and decode Internet Protocol packets and control information into and from analogue
audio frequency signals, respectively. Dial-up internet is sometimes used where Broadband
internet access is not available; primarily in rural or remote areas. We have seen Workgroup
configuring and sharing folders and printers in our previous article. Sharing Internet connection
is the next logical step in getting everybody online. If you have installed an Internet gateway,
chances are that you are already online. Windows XP Internet Connection Sharing allows your
computer to function as an Internet gateway. In this article we would use window XP as internet
gateway.

11.4. Configuring DNS Server
In the DNS service configuration, you can set up a DNS server to translate domain names with
different types of resource records, which are basic data elements in the Domain Name System.
Packet Tracer currently supports four different types of resource records: Address (A), Canonical
Name (CNAME), SOA (Start of Authority), and NS (Name Server). An Address (A) record is the
most common type of resource record where its core functionality is to map a hostname to an IPv4
address. A CNAME record is used to specify that a domain name is an alias of another, canonical
domain name. An SOA record is used to specify authoritative information about a DNS zone,
including the primary name server, the email of the domain administrator, and several timers
relating to refreshing the zone. An NS record is used to delegate a DNS zone to use a given
authoritative name server.
To add a resource record, enter the Name of the resource record, select a Type of resource record,
and then enter all required fields pertaining to the resource record such as Address for A Record,
Host Name for CNAME, or Server Name for NS Record and then click Add. To modify an
existing resource record, select the resource record from the list, edit the fields you want to change,
and then click Save when you are done. If you want to remove a resource record, just select the
resource record from the list and click Remove.

50
11.5. Configuring HTTP server
In the HTTP service configuration, you can edit the included HTML pages such as index.html,
helloworld.html, and image.html using the following supported HTML tags:
Aaddress b big blockquote body
br center cite code dd
dfn div dl dt em
font h1 h2 h3 h4
h5 h6 head hr html
I img kbd meta li
nobr ol p pre qt
s samp small span strong sub
sup table tbody td tfoot
th thead title tr tt
u ul var
Additionally, you can also add or remove HTML files from the server. When a PC accesses an
HTML page on the server using the Web Browser, the HTML page will load in the Web
Browser.
After we configured it to access the http from web browser, write the host name in URL like this
http:// www.network.com at the client web browser.
Exercise:

51
1. Assume that you are asked to design a network for two labs by using Cisco packet tracer
and to simulate it. The requirements for the network is:-
A. 2 switch
B. One server
C. 30 clients
D. in each lab having 15 clients and one server is placed in one of the lab
E. IP address of the server is 192.168.1.30
F. Subnet mask =255..255.255.0
G. Default get way = 192.168.1.30
2. Based on the above information try to configure the
A. DHCP server
B. HTTP server
C. DNS server named as www.practice.com

12.3. Installing DNS server
To install any server first click Roles then click Add Rolls
12.4. Checking whether the IP address is the same as DNS or not
Step 1 click on start menu =>Next click on the run command => type cmd =>on the cmd type
ping computer name .DNS in our case c1.sc.com

54
12.5. Installing DHCP Server
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows a system to connect to a network in
order to be assigned the necessary addressing information for communication on that network.
To install DHCP server the same procedure as DNS server installation
12.6. Configuring DHCP server

55
How DHCP server assigns an automatic IP address to Clients?
How to see the IP configuration type ipconfig/all

56
12.7. Installing FTP Server
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer
files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet.
FTP is built on client-server architecture and uses separate control and data connections between
the client and the server.FTP users may authenticate themselves using clear sign-in protocol,
normally in the form of a username and password, but can connect anonymously if the server is
configured to allow it. For secure transmission that protects the username and password, and
encrypts the content, FTP is often secured with SSL/TLS (FTPS). SSH File Transfer
Protocol (SFTP) is sometimes also used instead, but is technologically different.

57
12.8. Configuring and Accessing ftp server from client computer
 To configure ftp server install file service rolls and web server iis
 Write ftp://IP address of the computer or host name in web browser url like this.
ftp://10.1.208.98 you get the following file.
Exercise:
1. Crete authenticated ftp server (Authenticated means private file secure and then you will be
asked to enter user name and password to access the ftp server).

58
13. Session 13: Active Directory Installation and configuration
Active Directory Overview
A directory is a hierarchical structure that stores information about objects on the network. A
directory service, such as Active Directory, provides the methods for storing directory data and
making this data available to network users and administrators. For example, Active Directory
stores information about user accounts, such as names, passwords, phone numbers, and so on,
and enables other authorized users on the same network to access this information.
Logical Structure
In active directory you organize resources in a logical structure that mirror the logical structure
of your organization. Grouping resources logically enable you to find a resource by its name
rather than by its physical location.
Domains
The core unit of logical structure in Active Directory is the domain, which can store millions of
objects. Printers, documents, e-mail address, databases, users, groups, computer objects etc.
Domain Controller
A domain controller is a computer running windows 2008 server that stores a replica of the
domain controllers. A domain can contain one or more domain controllers; all domain controllers
in a domain have a complete replica of the domain's portion of the database.

59
13.1. How to install active directory user and computer
1. First type Server manager on search option and then click on newly found Server
manager
2. Click on Roles menu and then click on Add roles button

14. Conclusion
This laboratory manual provides students with hands on training regarding network cabling,
network design, troubleshooting, modeling and evaluation of computer networks. In this course
students are going to experiment in a real test bed networking environment, and learn about
network design and troubleshooting topics and tools such as network address, address resolution
protocol, basic troubleshooting tools and commands such as: ping, ipconfig, traceroute, and
nslookup etc. Students will also be introduced to the network modeling and simulation and will
have the opportunity to build some simple networking models using the tool and perform
simulation that will help them evaluate their design approaches and expected network
performance. Finally this manual can be rebuilt by instructors who are delivering this course
based on newly emerging operating systems and simulating tools.
