Exer 2 IP Routing

To start off with casual talk I had a fine day today with not much stress so I feel fine at the moment of my class.

Anyway The topic today was Ip routing where Sir Joman taught us a few Details and Current News Regarding IP addressing and also how to configure our computers IP Address.

I thougt it was gonna be hard to learn this new topic with all the new commands but with a steady pace of teaching thanks to sir Joman and Listening carefully to all the Instructions I was able to pull off the example to be done.

Since we couldn't actually communicate with another network (e.g. PC lab 8 and 9 will be connected). We will use a simulator made by Former Cmsc students here called Scalable Cisco IOS Simulator.The software can be downloaded from

http://jachermocilla.org/netsim-3.0.jar

The Software which we were using are courtesy of Michael B. Detras, Vincent B. Lee and Sir Ludwig Tirazona (my former lab instructor back from Cmsc 125)

The User Interface was alright, not too user friendly and not too techy... just the right mix for Cmsc students so it didn't take long for us to grasp its controls.

Basically what we did was connect a computer to a router and configure their IP addresses, Gateway and Mask.

Next up was the exercise which was more challenging than the example (should have seen that coming...) we were suppose to make a connection of 3 computers with only using a switch as a tip.

Here's an image of the connections. using 15 as the second number for all the router and computer names as my student number 2010-11703 adds up to it


 Now it made me think how would I be able to do this but luckily I was able to notice a detail concerning the configuration of a static IP route (global) at the routers.

It turns out all I add to do was add all the IP routes that the current computer needs to communicate, do the same technique with the other Routers, and presto... I could Ping all of the Computers and Routers.






And with that the second exercise is done with a few time to spare :)

First Exercise ExP

First post here in my blog and just finished my first exercise. It' very good that it was a lot easier to finish this exer than the exercises of cmsc subjects from previous years and its good to know that it won't be as hectic as them since there would less programming (Not that I don't like programming but it would be easier for me so I can focus on my other subjects mainly Cmsc 191 and 190-1).

I came to class a bit late since it was raining hard on that day and I didn't bring my umbrella and to top it up we are 22 in our section so since there wasn't enough Pc I'm using my own laptop. It was a nice beginning where I get to know again the people I've been classmates with since first year and I got know Sir Joman since this is the first time that he has been my teacher.

Here's the first screen shot required for the exer :)

though it was a rocky start for my exercise since my terminal wouldn't respond properly so I was a bit late in doing the exercise. By the way the exercise showed us how a network works with how we are able to chat and post message at our pc lab network.

Here I have successfully connected to the network

The command in the instructions were not so hard since we where taught about the in our previous subjects mainly Cmsc 124 and Cmsc 125 about the linux command and using secure shell for communication.

Here's my login to the remote computer without using a password
Here's my first personal chat and write on wall with other users

And Lastly yes A password is required if I try to login for other workstations
