Assignment:
This week, 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!
