...Arthur Raynes Boakai NT 2640 IP Addresses Classes and Special-Use IP Address space September 26, 2013 IP Address Class: Class A: class A addresses are assigned to networks with a very large number of hosts. The high-order bit in a class A address is always set to zero. Class A permit up to 126 networks by using the first octet of the address for the network identification. Class B: class B address is designated for mid-sized corporations and ISPs. They allow 16, 384 networks by using the first two octets of the address for network identification. The first two bits of the first octet are fixed to 1.0. Class C: is designated for small offices and home offices. They allow for approximately 2 million networks by using the first three octets of the address for network identification. The three bits are fixed to 1 1 0. Class D: were reserved for multicasting purposes. The addresses begin with an octet in the 224-239 range. RFC 1918 IP addresses are used for private networks without concern for potential addressing conflicts with other networks. It has specify ranges of IP address that can never be routable on the global internet.

Bellman – Ford | Dual algorithm could be in status, query out the whole network shortest path. | Protocol | USP | IP | Topology | Can build a hierarchical and scalable network. | Cannot build a hierarchical network with this protocol. | The Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is an advanced distance – vector routing protocol that is used on a computer network to help automate routing decisions and configuration. The protocol was designed by Cisco systems as a proprietary protocol, available only on Cisco routers, but Cisco converted it to an open standard in 2013. EIGRP allows a router to share information it knows about the network with neighboring routers within the same logical area known as an autonomous system. Contrary to other well known routing protocols such as routing information protocol, EIGRP only shares information that a neighboring router would not have, rather than sending all of its information. EIGRP is optimized to help reduce the workload of the router and the amount data that needs to be transmitted between routers. The features that support EIGRP are the following; support for Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) and variable length subnet masking...

...Unit 1 Summary: Chapters 1,2,3,4 Chapter 1 – The TCP/IP and OSI Networking Models: * A network model sometimes also called either a networking architecture or networking blueprint refers to a comprehensive set of documents used to describe the functions of a network as a whole * The international organization for standardization (ISO) took on the task to create such a model, starting as early as the late 1970’s beginning work on what would become known as the open systems interconnection (OSI) networking model. * IP defines addresses for several important reasons. First each device that uses TCP/IP needs a unique address so that it can be identified on the network and IP also figures out how to group addresses together. * The term IP host refers to any device, regardless of size or power that has an IP address and connects to any TCP/IP network * The Current OSI Model: 1. Application 2. Presentation 3. Session 4. Transport 5. Network 6. Data Link 7. Physical Chapter 2 – LAN Fundamentals: * File Sharing: Each computer can be configured to share all or parts of its file system so that the other computers can read, or possibly read and write, the files on another computer. * File Transfers: A computer could install a file transfer server, thereby allowing other computers to send and receive files to and from that computer. * The term collision domain defines the set of devices whose frames could collide * Broadcast...

...Scenario 1: End user complains of lack of connectivity to any resource not on the directly connected network. The host cannot ping its default gateway. The output of the “ipconfig /all” command is below. Also the IP address assigned to the router for that segment is also displayed below. What do you think the problem is with the configuration of this host? PC “ipconfig /all” output (summarized) Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-AB-C5-00-00-00 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.40.9 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.128 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.40.254 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 8.8.8.8 Router “show ip interface brief” Router# show ip interface brief Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol GigabitEthernet0/0 192.168.40.254 YES NVRAM up up Answer: The problem is that either the IP address is wrong or the subnet mask is wrong. That is because the 192.168.40.9 IP address is not in the same subnet as the default gateway IP address (192.168.40.254). Changing the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 or changing the IP address to 192.168.40.129 – 192.168.40.253 would resolve the problem. The ping command can be used to check for connectivity, and it was. The tracert command could have been used to see where the ping failed. Scenario 2: One user complains of lack of connectivity...

...Windows 8 is a Microsoft operating system that is designed for home users as well as for business purpose. Its development started even before its predecessor’s release Windows 7 in 2009.Windows 8 is a system that is particularly orientated to touchscreen hardware. There are some important changes and additives that make it look and differently than the users are used to. For example, the Start menu is completely substituted by a Start screen that can be taken away from the desktop easily by touch screen pen and also by just a normal mouse or keyboard key combination. It contains all the important applications also the ones that are active at the moment. All the icons in the old version of the operating system are changed into tiles that can be juggled with. It can stay constantly on the screen or can be hidden.And now the most important that users expect to hear – when will it be available for the public and for what price? The official release date is the 26th of October, 2012. It was preceded by three pre-release editions while still being developed and tested for the period of the 13th of September 2011 until 31st of May 2012.

...WEEK 8, ASSIGNMENT 2Ireti Kayode Strayer University | | CIS 175 Dr. William McConnell12/03/2013 | | | | | Ocper, Inc. Server Proposal Given Ocper, Inc.’s expanding network scenario there is a clear need to maximize the available resources between employees then it is appropriate to add additional servers to facilitate the sharing of files as well as the configuration of remote access services to allow for remote and secure working. In order to complement the existing network scenario this proposal is based around the configuration and deployment of Microsoft Windows Server 2012 as the network operating system. This is a stable and secure server environment which will allow the designated services to be configured and will equally allow for scalability while at the same time decreasing the overall maintenance and administration to support the network and associated servers. Given the size of the current organization and the IT systems at present, Windows Server 2012 Standard edition would be the most appropriate version for deployment as this will also keep the up-front costs down to a minimum – there is no requirement for the Enterprise Edition whose features will not be required in this implementation. One of the critical roles for the new server implementations will be that of a File Server capability – this can be easily configured within the Ocper, Inc. network through a Static IP address being assigned to this machine and then the...

...Updating From Microsoft Windows XP to Microsoft Windows 7 A lot of problems can arise when trying to update an older machine such as this from Microsoft Windows XP to Microsoft Windows 7. Microsoft has not made it easy for XP users to move to Win7. You won't be able to run the upgrade disk and have the newer operating system install on top of XP, leaving your data and programs in place. Instead, you have two options: 1. You can do a Clean install, in which you wipe the hard drive clean and install a virgin copy of Windows 7, then reinstall your software and copy your data back to the drive. 2. You can do a Custom install, in which your older setup is squirreled away in a folder called WINDOWS.OLD. This will include your program files, though you won't be able to run your software from there. It will also include data files, but you shouldn't rely on this as your sole backup strategy prior to upgrading. First and foremost When performing and update such as this: make sure that all hardware on the machine that is being updated is compatible and will meet Windows 7's minimum system requirements. A good way to do this is simply to go to the Microsoft website and download the windows 7 advisor at: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/upgrade-advisor. This tool can be very helpful in determining if a system is capable of running windows 7. Some of the Windows 7 system requirements are: * 1 GHz processor (32- or 64-bit) * 1 GB of RAM (32-bit); 2 GB of...

...NTFS AND HYPER V The New Technology File System (NTFS) is the standard file structure for the Windows NT operating system. It is used for retrieving and storing files on the hard disk. The NTFS introduced a number of enhancements, including innovative data structures that increased performance, improved metadata, and added expansions like security access control, reliability, disk space utilization, and file system journaling. The NTFS replaced the OS/2 High-Performance File System and the Windows 95 file allocation table (FAT), which was used in MS-DOS and earlier operating system versions. NTFS is also used with Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.NTFS was initially designed for the Intel i860 XR processor released by Microsoft in 1993. Although IBM and Microsoft worked together to create the graphical operating system known as the OS/2, they disagreed on many important issues and they eventually separated. IBM continued to work on the OS/2, while Microsoft started working on Windows NT. The OS/2 HPFS had many new features that were also used with Windows NT. Both HPFS and NTFS share the same disk partition identification type code (07), which is unusual because there are dozens of codes available. The new reliable features of the NTFS include a fault tolerance system that automatically repairs hard drive errors without error messages. The NTFS also retains detailed transaction records that keep track of hard drive errors. This feature is beneficial in...
