1.Complete Project 5-1 from the book and submit a snapshot of the outcome before you exit

In this project, you will use a software program called Wireshark to view frames and datagrams traveling through a computer's NIC. Network managers may use Wireshark to aid in troubleshooting. For example, if a network suddenly acts sluggish, viewing its traffic could uncover where excessive frames are being generated. The Wireshark program is available at no cost from the Wireshark Web site, www.wireshark.org. It works with recent versions of the Windows operating system, as well as Mac OS X, and most versions of Linux and UNIX. This project guides you through installing Wireshark on a Windows 7 workstation. However, beginning with Step 19, the Windows 7 steps are very similar to steps required by Wireshark running on any operating system.

2. Complete Project 5-2 from the book and submit a snapshot of the outcome before you exit.

In the previous Hands-On Project, you learned how to view traffic in Wireshark. In this project (which assumes you have already completed Hands-On Project 5-1), you'll analyze additional characteristics of your network's traffic. As with Project 5-1, this project is written to work with a Windows 7 workstation; however, the steps are very similar for versions of Wireshark running on other operating systems. Again, your workstation should have TCP/IP properly installed and configured and be connected to the Internet. You should also be logged on as a user with administrator-equivalent privileges.

3. Complete Project 6-3 from the book and submit a snapshot of the outcome before you exit (this requires Packet Tracer or GNS3).

In this project, you will create a VLAN on a Cisco switch using its internet-work operating system (IOS). For this project, you will need a modern switch that runs the Cisco IOS. A used workgroup switch, which can often be purchased for under $150, would be suitable. Or, as an alternative, you could install a program, such as GNS3, that creates a virtual Cisco IOS environment on your computer. GNS3 can be downloaded for free at www.gns3.net and comes in versions for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh's OS X operating system. After installing the GNS3 "all-in-one" package, you will also need to install a copy of the firmware, or image, which comes with a Cisco switch. If you have neither a Cisco switch nor an IOS simulator, you can follow along with the steps to learn about the switch configuration commands.
