About this lab The objective of this exercise is to become familiar with commonly used communication devices, interfaces, and media, that forms the physical layer of a communication architecture.
Activityโ 1 Find out what devices and communication media are there on the system you are working and write the results of you r observation
Sr.No Device Name/Interface/Port 1 Network Card (Example) 2 3 4 5 6
Activityโ 2 Find out what protocols are installed on your system, if you can find any configuration information about them observe and write the results Sr.No^1 Protocol Name Description/Configuration 2 3 4 5 6
Activityโ 3 Find out what communication media that is currently being used in your system to communicate with the network observe the following properties and write results Media Name Is there any jacket at cable ends? If so can you name it Are there any twisted pairs? If so how many pairs are there How many different color wires do you see What colors do you see are there on these cables
Activityโ 4 Find out the following in your system (use ipconfig/all on command prompt) IP Address of your NIC : Physical Address of your NIC : Activityโ 5
Draw a schematic view of the network in your lab, mention the media used for this network, also name the topology of this network,
Activityโ 6 Draw a schematic view of the network in PIEAS (Excluding the server room), mention type of media used if there are more than one media types involve name all of them, mention also the data rate of these medias.
Activityโ 7 Classify the communication media of PIEAS network as digital, analogue , guided and unguided media provide brief description of each which should include data rate, spectrum and bandwidth.
