ITEC-251 Lab Assignment

1. The ping command is used to test connectivity to a host on a network. It uses the ICMP protocol to send echo request packets to the target host and listens for echo replies. The basic syntax is ping [options] target. Common options include -t for repetitive pinging, -n to specify the number of echo requests, and -l for setting the packet size. 2. The cd command is used to change the current working directory. To change to a directory with your name, use cd followed by the directory path. 3. IP addresses are classified into three classes - Class A, B and C - based on the binary values of the first octet. Class A has 8 network bits and

ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM STATEMENT

1. What is ping command? Give the syntax for it. List out the options to be used with it.

Ping is a basic Internet program that lets you verify that a particular IP address exists and can accept
requests. The verb ping means the act of using the ping utility or command. Ping is used diagnostically to
ensure that a host computer you are trying to reach is actually operating.
Ping Command Syntax

ping [-t] [-a] [-n count] [-l size ] [-f] [-I TTL] [-v TOS] [-r count ] [-s count] [-w timeout]
[R] [-S srcaddr] [p] [-4] [6-] target [/?].

options available in the ping command:


-t : repetitively send packets.
-n : number of echo to be sent
-l : sending buffer size [Max: 65500 bytes]
-f : Don’t fragment; If this option is provided, then the packet should not be fragmented and should be
sent as it is.
-j : loose source route [Optionally it can follow a different route].
-k : strict source route [MUST follow the route specified by us].
2. What does the command Cd do? Write down the steps to change the main directory to the directory with your
name.(Attach the screenshot)

Cd - This command stands for "change directory", and does pretty much what it's name says.

3. What is Class A,B and C addressing? Give an example for each.


Class A IP addresses, where the 1st bit is 0, encompass the range of 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255. This class is for large
networks and has 8 bits for network and 24 bits for hosts.
The default mask for class A is 255.0.0.0
Example : 1.0.0.1

Class B IP addresses, where the 1st two bits are 10, are in the range of 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255. This class is for
medium networks and has 16 bits for network and 16 bits for hosts.
The default mask for class B is 255.255.0.0

Example : 168.212.22.203

Class C IP addresses, where the 1st three bits are 110, are in the range of 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255. This class is for
smaller networks and has 24 bits for network and 8 bits for hosts.
The default mask for class A is 255.255.255.0
Example : 192.168.1.1
4. Establish the connection between 4 PC' s and a Hub and assign the following IP Address to
the devices as given below and save the file with your name.(Attach the screenshots)
PC0- 192.168.1.1
PC1- 192.168.1.2
PC2- 192.168.1.3
PC3- 192.168.1.4
