Today, you will receive your login information for the CYBER.ORG Cyber Range at https://apps.cyber.org.
A cyber range is a virtual lab environment where students are able to simulate cybersecurity scenarios in a safe, protected online environment as they explore the back end of IT systems used by today’s industries.
Check your Teams for your username/password, and use it to log into the Cyber Range. You will use the Cyber Range to complete the Lab Activities and Case Study assignments throughout this course.
Please see Mister Marmolejo if you encounter any difficulties connecting to or logging into the Cyber Range.
We will begin using the Cyber Range with our first Lab Activity exploring the Linux Command Line Interface on Monday.
Given a scenario, the student will be able to configure and deploy workstations in a local area network configuration using the appropriate networking standards and technologies.
Resources:
Refer to prior PowerPoint presentations on Network Topologies, Network Types, Connector Types, Cable Management, Protocols, Networking Devices and Networked Devices for review.
Topics Discussed:
The Internet and World Wide Web
Networking Fundamentals
Local Area Network
Network Topologies
Hubs vs Switches
TCP/IP – Transport Connect Protocol/Internet Protocol
Cable Management
Assignment:
Today we will be working on a lab activity, where we will organize and assemble a local area network to function in a working classroom.
Four laptops, three routers, an unmanaged switch and all of the necessary cables and peripherals have been provided. Students should also take note of the collection of network cables, as they will be called upon to select one of an appropriate length when it is time to assemble the network.
Refer to the in-class discussion on Network Hardware and Network Topologies – which would be the best physical topology for the proposed class configuration, given the networking equipment we have on hand?
As a class, decide on the best arrangement for the equipment, given the room’s existing network infrastructure and the technical and physical requirements of our class, as well as OSHA regulations and best practices.
With these requirements in mind, assemble the network according to the instructor’s directions.
Is the networking device you are using a router or a switch? How can you tell the difference? Can you tell just by looking at the device?
What type of cable are we using? Why are we using this type of cable? Why are we even using cable instead of connecting the workstations to the Wi-Fi network? What are the benefits of wired networking over wireless?
As the network takes shape, can you see why the topology selected was the best to suit the classroom conditions?
Participation points will be awarded for participating in the lab rebuild. You must be in attendance and participate each day of the lab to receive credit, so don’t miss class and don’t miss out on some easy lab points!
