List of laboratory topics:

  1. Introduction to the practice of network systems: (relationship of operating system and NIC within the PC, Windows Oracle VM, and Knoppix network environment, physical address of the NIC, NIC modes) .
  2.  Transmission media, network node types: (types of media, connectors, connection of the NIC to the medium, channel encoding mechanisms, virtual connection of the Oracle VM-s – logical interface types, Windows and Knoppix network commands).
  3. Introduction to Wireshark network protocol analyzer, management of protocol data units: (Wireshark environment, features, filters. PDU encapsulation, and fragmentation).
  4. Addressing in IPv4 part 1. Mapping of logical and physical address: (IP functions: management of network address and mask on VM-s, Windows and Knoppix network commands, ARP/RARP).
  5. Addressing in IPv4 part 2. Routing functions: (IP functions: subnetworks, supernetworks, routing table on Windows Oracle VM, Windows and Knoppix network commands, hub/repeater/bridge/switch/ router/gateway).
  6. Routing in end nodes: (configuration of default gateways, static routes, Windows and Knoppix network commands, Wireshark analysis).
  7. Routing mechanisms at intermediate nodes: (configuration of default gateways, static routes, Windows and Knoppix network commands, Wireshark analysis).
  8. Addressing in IPv6: (IP functions, routing table on Windows Oracle VM, Windows and Knoppix network commands, Wireshark analysis).
  9. Transport layer mechanisms: (TCP/UDP port scanning, Windows and Knoppix network commands), NAT/PAT translation, Wireshark analysis).
  10. Application layer mechanisms and services. Part 1: (Wireshark analysis of telnet, http, ftp protocols).
  11. Application layer mechanisms and services. Part 2.: (Wireshark analysis of dns, dhcp protocols).
  12. Measurement of network traffic and its presentation: (generation and capture of Ethernet, IP, TCP, UDP, http traffics using tcpdum/Wireshark and their presentation in Excel).
