For this assignment you will make an Ethernet patch cable and connect your computer to a network

switch. The assignment will familiarize you with Layer $1$ of the Open Systems Interconnection $($OSI$)$

Model. After completion of your network patch cable, you will use the resources provided in the lab

to ensure connectivity. Prior to beginning this lab, you will need to model this assignment in CISCO

Packet Tracer. Watch the video resources and utilize the web$-$links provided in Webcourses for

guidance on how to complete this assignment.

The IP addresses for this assignment can be any address in the $192\mathrm{.}168\mathrm{.}5\mathrm{.}0/24.$

A teaching assistant will be available to assist you during the lab.

Credit for this assignment will require:

$1)$ Packet Tracer File: CNT$4703$C$-$Lab$2-[$full$-$name$-$of$-$student$]$

$2)$ Screenshots of Packet Tracer Model

a$.$ Network Topology $($Logical$)$

b$.$ Successful Ping from PC$-$to$-$PC

$3)$ Photos of Completed Patch Cable $($if you are completing the labs ONLINE, then you can just

take a screen shot of any CAT$5$e cable from the Internet or your home network if you have

one$).$

a$.$ Both Connectors on CAT$5$e cabling

b$.$ Cable plugged in to equipment

c$.$ Successful Ping from PC$-$to$-$PC $($Terminal or CMD$)$ in Packet Tracer if working Online.

$4)$ Answers to LAB $2$ Questions

LAB $2$ Questions:

$1)$ What are the Layers of the OSI Model?

$2)$ Name $3$ types of physical layer networking connections?

$3)$ What type of pinout was used to create the Patch Cable for this exercise?

$4)$ How do you create a crossover cable and why would you need one?

$5)$ What is the Ping Command and how does the Ping Command verify connectivity?
