Working with Lab Worksheets

Each lab in this manual requires that you answer questions, take screen shots, and
perform other activities that you will document in a worksheet named for the lab, such
as Lab10_worksheet.docx. It is recommended that you use a USB flash drive to store
your worksheets, so you can submit them to your instructor for review. As you
perform the exercises in each lab, open the appropriate worksheet file, fill in the
required information, and save the file to your flash drive.
After completing this lab, you will be able to:

Calculate network addresses and IP addresses

Manually configure the Windows Server 2012 R2 TCP/IP client
Configure TCP/IP using Windows PowerShell
Test network connections using Ping

Estimated lab time: 60 minutes

Exercise 10.1 Calculating IP Addresses

Overview

In this exercise, you are responsible for subnetting a network to suit a

particular network organization plan.

Mindset

What IPv4 addressing policies does your organization have in place?

Completion time

20 minutes

To complete this exercise, you must determine what IPv4 addresses you should
use on the workgroup for which you are responsible. Your supervisor has assigned
you a group of computers that consists of three servers and seven workstations.
Your entire department must share an IPv4 network with the address
192.168.75.0/24, and your supervisor has asked you to subnet that address into as
many networks as possible with at least 10 hosts each.
Create a list of the network addresses your subnetting can create, using CIDR
notation, and enter these in Table 10-3 under the heading IPv4 Network
Addresses. Then choose one of the subnets for use by your computers and enter
the IP addresses in that subnet in Table 10-3 under the heading IP Addresses,

MOAC 70-410 - Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012 R2 Lab Manual

along with the corresponding subnet mask value in Table 10-3 under the heading
Subnet Mask.

MOAC 70-410 - Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012 R2 Lab Manual

Overview

In this exercise, you configure the IP addresses and other TCP/IP

configuration parameters for your computers, using the graphical tools
in Windows Server 2012 R2.

Mindset

What parameters do you have to configure to ensure that the computers on

your network can communicate with each other?

Completion time

Lab
Challenge

Configuring TCP/IP with Windows PowerShell

Overview

In addition to using Server Manager, you can also manually configure

TCP/IP on servers using Windows PowerShell.

Completion time

10 minutes

To complete this challenge, you must use Windows PowerShell commands on the
SERVERC server to configure the TCP/IP client to use the IP Address, Subnet Mask,
and Preferred DNS Server address you specified for that computer in Table 10-5 and
the IPv6 address you calculated in Table 10-4. Write the necessary commands in the
following space:

MOAC 70-410 - Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012 R2 Lab Manual

For IP Address Settings: New-NetIPAddress InterfaceAlias Wired Ethernet

(Where the PrefixLength is the subnet mask in CIDR notation.)
For DNS Settings: Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias Wired Ethernet
Connection -ServerAddresses 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
(Where the 1st IP address is the preffered DNS and the 2nd IP is the secondary DNS)
End of exercise. You can leave any windows open for the next exercise.

Exercise 10.3 Testing Network Connections

Overview

After manually configuring the three servers TCP/IP clients, you must
test them by trying to connect to the other servers on the network. In
this exercise, you use the Ping utility to test the computers
communications capabilities.

Completion time

10 minutes

1.

On SERVERB, right-click the Start button and, from the context menu that
appears, select Command Prompt (Admin). An Administrator: Command Prompt
window appears.

2.

In the Command Prompt window, type ping 127.0.0.1 and press Enter. The
computer successfully pings the specified address.

Question
3

Question
4

What does this result prove about the computers network

connectivity?
This doesnt really prove much connectivity-wise, as this
is a local address.
What would be the result if you unplugged a computers
network cable before executing the ping 127.0.0.1
command?
It would still successfully ping because 127.0.0.1 is a
local address.

MOAC 70-410 - Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012 R2 Lab Manual

3.

In the Command Prompt window, type ping ServerA and press Enter. The
computer successfully pings the specified computer.
What does the result of this ping test prove?

Question
5

Question
6

These devices can communicate because they are in the

same network.
How was the computer able to resolve the name ServerA into
its IP address?
It was able to resolve the name through our DNS settings
that we put in.

4.

In the Command Prompt window, type ping ServerC and press Enter. The
computer fails to ping the specified computer.

5.

On SERVERA, open an Administrator: Command Prompt window and type ping

ServerB and press Enter. The computer fails to ping the specified computer.

6.

In the Command Prompt window, type ping ServerC and press Enter. The
computer fails to ping the specified computer.
Why did these three ping tests fail, when the previous tests
succeeded?

Question
7

This ping failed because we did not assign ServerC an IP

address, nor set up the DNS settings correctly. ServerC
is inaccessible to ServerB or ServerA.
