Introduction to Network - Course 5

4.1.2.4 Lab - Identifying Network Devices and Cabling

Lab A - Identifying Network Devices and Cabling

Objectives

Part 1: Identify Network Devices

Part 2: Identify Network Media

Background / Scenario

As a member of the networking support staff, you must be able to identify different networking equipment. You must also understand the function of equipment in the appropriate part of the network. In this lab, you will have access to network devices and media. You will identify the type and characteristics of the network equipment and media.

Part 1:     Identify Network Devices

Your instructor will provide various network devices for identification. Each will be tagged with an ID number.

Fill in the table below with the device tag ID number, manufacturer, device model, type (hub, switch, and router), functionality (wireless, router, switch, or combination), and other physical characteristics, such as number of interface types. The first line is filled out as a reference.

ID	Manufacturer	Model	Type	Functionality	Physical Characteristics
1	Cisco	1941	Router	Router	2 GigabitEthernet Ports 2 EHWIC slots 2 CompactFlash slots 1 ISM slot 2 Console ports: USB, RJ-45
2	Cisco	Catalyst 4500 Series	Switch	Switch	48 Port Quantity Ethernet Port Type Supervisor Engine Module Type 10/100/1000 Port Speed
3	Arlo	Pro 2 Security Camera System	Camera	Camera	100% Wire-Free, Rechargeable Battery Operated, Magnetic Mounts HD 1080p Video, 130-Degree Angle Lens Night Vision, 2-Way Audio IP65 Weatherproof Outdoor Ready Motion and Sound Detection Optional 24/7 Continuous Video Recording
4	Cisco	1921	Router	Router	·         2 RJ45 10/100/1000 LAN/WAN Ports ·         2 EHWIC Slots ·         SEC Feature Set ·         1 Doublewide EWIC Slot (takes the place of both standard EHWIC slots when used) ·         1 USB ·         1 USB Console (mini-B) ·         I Serial Port ·         I Auxilary Port

Part 2:     Identify Network Media

Your instructor will provide various network media for identification. You will name the network media, identify the media type (copper, fiber optic, or wireless), and provide a short media description including what device types it connects. Use the table below to record your findings. The first line in the table has been filled out as a reference.

ID	Network Media	Type	Description and to What It Connects
1	UTP	Copper	Connect wired NIC and Ethernet ports on network devices Cat 5 straight-through wired. Connects PCs and routers to switches and wiring panels.
2	UTP Straight Through	Copper	Connect wired NIC and Ethernet ports on network devices Cat 5 straight-through wired. Connects PCs and routers to switches and wiring panels.
3	UTP Crossover	Copper	Connect like devices  on a network. Cat 5 cross over, connects switches to switches
4	Fiber Optic	Copper	Connect different part of building to provide high speed internet connections
