Learning Objectives: To Determine what is going on in my local network using a software called Wireshark. Equipment List: Computer and internet including; canvas, wordpress, Wireshark. Notes, Observations, and Questions: Retransmission via ipconfig/(release\renew) Type of protocol: TCP Total length of the ip.len: 2 Bytes Source: 35.173.160.224 Destination: 192.168.*.2 (my computer, * is for security) Header:Continue reading “Lab 9: Packet Sniffing”

Learning Objectives: To Design a network and the subnetwork Equipment List: Computer and internet including; canvas, wordpress. Notes, Observations, and Questions: To the best of my knowledge I believe that subnetting, once the IP is determined as well as the class and number of networks, is very simple. Diagrams, Flowcharts, and Figures:

Learning Objectives: To create a website over an Apache web server. Equipment List: Computer and internet including; canvas, wordpress. Notes, Observations, and Questions: I found this lab difficult due to lack of knowledge underlying Apache. I followed several instructionals and ended up in multiple dead ends before simplifying things. The final product is what IContinue reading “Lab 7: Apache Webserver”

Learning Objectives: To edit a video. Equipment List: Computer and internet including; canvas, wordpress. Notes, Observations, and Questions: I have done editing in the past. My choice of software was always movie maker in windows; however I haven’t found anything as good that is still free. I chose not to include music in my fileContinue reading “Lab 6: Editing a Video”

Learning Objectives: To build a working TCP/IP network for each terminal. Equipment List: switchboard, router, terminals. Notes, Observations, and Questions: Simply followed the provided steps for creating a network within the classroom. We captured the hyper terminal, first; then created individual switch board networks before connecting the two networks with a router. Diagrams, Flowcharts, andContinue reading “Lab 5 – Exploring TCP/IP Networks”

Learning Objectives: learn about OSI model as a method of understanding modern computers. Equipment List: an array of devices as well as this usable terminal Notes, Observations, and Questions: The CMD is already mostly familiar to me, however the devices some of them were a little foreign. Diagrams, Flowcharts, and Figures: TCP/IP; TCP is theContinue reading “Lab 4-Network & OSI Model”

Learning Objectives: To identify components of a computer. Equipment List: A computer and all its components. Notes, Observations, and Questions: I have previously fixed and built computers before so this lab was very easy. Diagrams, Flowcharts, and Figures: Question 1: We have 12 ports; usb, microphone, speakers, printer, vga, ethernet, unknown(bottom right corner). Question 2:Continue reading “Lab 3 – Computer Hardware”

Learning Objectives: To learn how to wire a circuit of cat 5 communications cabling, using the B setup. Equipment List: cat5 cable, circuit board, male/female plugs, strippers, crampers, cutters. Notes, Observations, and Questions: It was rather easy to remember the configuration of the wires after just a couple builds. Diagrams, Flowcharts, and Figures: References: CMSTContinue reading “Lab 2- Structured Cabling”

Learning Objectives: To create a website blog. Equipment List: Computer and internet including; canvas, wordpress. Notes, Observations, and Questions: Simply followed the provided steps of creating website by starting the blog, choosing topics, and creating the first post (this one). Diagrams, Flowcharts, and Figures: N/A References: CMST 250, Hardware & Networking lab 1 paper providedContinue reading “Lab 1 – Make A Website”

I am a student at Kansas State University Polytechnic campus, majoring in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Design and Integration. Being from the Pacific NorthWest and moving to the midwest for college, was a large change for me.
