Objective

• Create a simple network with two PCs using a switch
• Identify the proper cable to connect the PCs to the switch
• Configure workstation IP address information
• Test connectivity using the ping command.

Background / Preparation

This lab focuses on the ability to connect two PCs to create a simple switch-based Ethernet LAN using two workstations. A switch is a networking concentration device sometimes referred to as a multiport bridge. Switches are relatively inexpensive and easy to install. When operating in full-duplex mode, they provide dedicated bandwidth to workstations. Switches eliminate collisions by creating microsegments between ports to which the two workstations are attached. They are appropriate for small to large LANs with moderate to heavy traffic. In addition to the physical and data link connections, which are Layers 1 and 2, the computers must also be configured with the correct IP network settings, which is Layer 3, so that they can communicate. Since this lab uses a switch, a basic Category 5/5e UTP straight-through cable is needed to connect each PC to the switch. This is referred to as a patch cable or horizontal cabling, which is used to connect workstations and a typical LAN. Start this lab with the equipment turned off and with cabling disconnected. Work in teams of two with one person per PC. The following resources will be required:

• Two workstations with an Ethernet 10/100 NIC installed
• Ethernet 10BaseT or Fast Ethernet hub
• Several Ethernet cables, which are straight-through and crossover, to choose from for connecting the two workstations

Step 1 Identify the proper Ethernet cable and connect the two PCs

1. The connection between the two PCs and the switch will be accomplished using a Category 5 or 5e straight-through patch cable. Locate two cables that are long enough to reach from each PC to the switch. Attach one end to the NIC and the other end to a port on the switch. Be sure to examine the cable ends carefully and select only a straight-through cable.
2. What kind of cable is required to connect from NIC to hub? Straight Through Cable
3. What is the category rating of the cable? Category 5 or 5e
4. What is the AWG wire size designation of the cable? 24 AWG

Step 2 Verify the physical connection

1. Plug in and turn on the computers. To verify the computer connections, insure that the link lights on both NICs are lit. Are both link lights lit? They should be, otherwise troubleshoot.

Step 3 Access the IP settings window
Note: Be sure to write down the existing IP settings, so that they can be restored at the end of the lab. These include IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers. If the workstation is a DHCP client, it is not necessary to record this information.

Windows 95 / 98 / Me/ users should do the following:

• Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel and then click the Network icon.
• Select the TCP/IP protocol icon that is associated with the NIC in this PC and click on Properties.
• Click on the IP Address tab and the Gateway tab.

See the example below:




Step 4 Configure TCP/IP settings for the two PCs

1. Set the IP address information for each PC according to the information in the table.
2. Note that the default gateway IP address is not required, since these computers are directly connected. The default gateway is only required on local area networks that are connected to a router.

Computer	IP Address	Subnet mask	Default Gateway
PC – A	192.168.1.1	255.255.255.0	Not Required
PC – B	192.168.1.2	255.255.255.0	Not Required

Step 5 Access the Command or MS-DOS prompt
Use the Start menu to open the Command Prompt (MS-DOS-like) window:
Windows 95 / 98 / Me users should do the following:
Start > Programs > MS-DOS Prompt

Windows NT / 2000 users should do the following:
Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt

Windows XP users should do the following:
Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt

Step 6 Verify that the PCs can communicate

• Test connectivity from one PC to the other by pinging the IP address of the opposite computer. Use the following command at the command prompt.

C:>ping 192.168.1.1 (or 192.168.1.2)

• Look for results similar to those shown below. If not, check the PC connections and TCP/IP settings for both PCs. What was the ping result?

PC>ping 192.168.1.1

Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=17ms TTL=128

Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=7ms TTL=128

Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=9ms TTL=128

Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=10ms TTL=128

Ping statistics for 192.168.1.1:

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

Minimum = 7ms, Maximum = 17ms, Average = 10ms




Step 7 Confirm the TCP/IP network settings
Windows 95 / 98 / Me users should do the following:

• Type the winipcfg command from the MS-DOS Prompt. Record the results:

PC>ipconfig

IP Address......................: 192.168.1.2

Subnet Mask.....................: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway.................: 0.0.0.0

Windows NT / 2000 / XP users should do the following:

• Type the ipconfig command from the Command Prompt. Record the results:

PC>ipconfig

IP Address......................: 192.168.1.1

Subnet Mask.....................: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway.................: 0.0.0.0

Step 8 Restore the PCs to their original IP settings, disconnect the equipment, and store the cables

Objective

• Create a simple peer-to-peer network between two PCs
• Identify the proper cable to connect the two PCs
• Configure workstation IP address information
• Test connectivity using the ping command.

Background / Preparation

This lab focuses on the ability to connect two PCs to create a simple peer-to-peer Ethernet LAN between

two workstations. The workstations will be directly connected to each other without using a hub or switch. In addition to the Layer 1 physical and Layer 2 data link connections, the computers must also be configured with the correct IP network settings, which is Layer 3, so that they can communicate. A basic Category 5/5e UTP crossover cable is all that is needed. A crossover cable is the same type that would be used as backbone or vertical cabling to connect switches together. Connecting the PCs in this manner can be very useful for transferring files at high speed and for troubleshooting interconnecting devices between PCs. If the two PCs can be connected with a single cable and are able to communicate, then any networking problems are not with the PCs themselves. Start this lab with the equipment turned off and with cabling disconnected. Work in teams of two with one person per PC. The following resources will be required:

• Two workstations with an Ethernet 10/100 NIC installed

Yang kami hormati para Bapak Ketua RW,
Bapak2 Ketua RT 05
Rekan2 remaja dan pemuda se-wilayah sukamandi
Hadirin dan hadirat yang mulia,

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Selamat sejahtera dan berbahagia juga kami sampaikan kepada hadirin dan hadirat yang beragama selain Islam.

Pada pagi yang berbahagia ini marilah kita bersama sejenak merenung dan berdoa, semoga kita yang hingga pagi ini masih dikaruniai kebahagiaan oleh Tuhan yang Maha Kuasa, diberi kekuatan untuk bersyukur senantiasa, atas rahmat dan hidayah dr Tuhan yang Maha Kuasa. Rasa syukur itu marilah kita buktikan dengan tetap menjalankan kewajiban dan tetap menjauhi larangan Allah Tuhan Yang Maha Adil.

Selanjutnya pd pagi yang berbahagia ini, hndaknya kita jg brsyukur atas kesempatan oleh Allah Tuhan yang Maha Kasih, yang dengan rahmat-Nya pula kita bisa brsama-sama mengadakan upacara mmperingati “Hari Kartini”. Nama Kartini, sudah tidak asing lagi. Bahkan dalam kehidupan sekarang ini tlah terpatri suatu sikap, khususnya sikap para Ibu, sikap para remaja dan pemudi puri, yang mencerminkan cita2 luhur ibu Kita Kartini.

Sebagai wanita yang tentu tidak bisa meninggalkan kodratnya sebagai perempuan, maka sekarang kian tampak bahwa dalam mendudukkan dirinya sebagai sesama pejuang bangsa, telah dapat menenmpatkan diri wanita Indonesia sebagai pejuang yang tidak ingin dikatakan nomor dua terhadap para kaum laki-laki.

Itulah sikap tegas kaum wanita yang secara langsung mencerminkan keluhuran cita-cita Kartini. Sikap itu juga memperlihatkan betapa hak azasi manusia Indonesia ini sangat diperhatikan. Terlebih hak wanita dalam menempatkan diri ikut serta membangun nusa dan bangsa Indonesia.

Tidaklah berlebihan kiranya jika wanita sekarang ini sudah mampu berbicara sejajar dengan kaum laki-laki. Bahkan di desa kita ini telah banyak wanita yang kedudukannya malah lebih tinggi dari sebagian kaum laki-lakinya. Ini menunjukkan bahwa bangsa kita khususnya kaum wanita benar-benar telah menyadari betapa pentingnya peranan dan kemampuan wanita dalam menegakkan kehidupan berbangsa, bernegara dan bermasyarakat.

Hari Kartini senantiasa kita peringati setiap tahun. Namun hendaknya janganlah pada saat-saat peringatan ini saja kita menampilan hasil karya dan cipta kaum wanita. Nmaun lbh daripada itu, mudah-mudahan setiap hari, setiap masa wanita Indonesia, tetap berjuang dan tetap bercitra, sebagai bangsa yang harum namanya.

Semoga Tuhan senantiasa meridhoi kita, khususnya para wanita Indonesia dalam menegakkan kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara. Semoga kaum wanita bertambah jaya, bertambah perkasa dalam menjaga nama besar bangsa, negara, masyarakat, dan jangan lupa, semoga tetap jaya dalam menjaga nama baik keluarga. Amin!

Cukuplah sekian dulu sambutan kami, billahitaufiq walhidayah,
Wassalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
