Testing your Computer Network

In this module, the learning competency that you will encounter is “Check
network connectivity of each terminal in accordance with network design”. This
learning competency contains sub-topics that will discuss the details on setting-up
computer networks. The module contains pretest, looking-back, contents, activities to
test your understanding, post-test and reflection.

Read carefully the instructions below

Follow carefully all the contents and instructions indicated in every page of
this module.
Write on your notebook the concepts about the lesson.
Perform all the provided activities in the module.
Let your facilitator/guardian assess your answers.
Analyze conceptually the posttest and apply what you have learned.

Lesson 1: Testing Your Computer Network

You will check network connectivity of each terminal in accordance with network design.
Specifically, this module will help you to:
🗹 Identify the different commands used in testing computer networks;
🗹 explain the functions of each command; and
🗹 appreciate the importance of the commands used in testing network connection.

Directions: Read the questions carefully and choose the letter that corresponds
to the correct answer. Write your answer on the space provided
each number.

___1. What command is used to test the ability of the source computer to reach a
specified destination computer?
A. netstat B. ping C. msconfig D. ipconfig

2
___2. Which of the following is a console application program of some computer
operating systems that displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values?

___3. Which of the following is a number used to identify a device on a network?
A. IP Address B. MAC Address C. VPN D. IPV4
___4. Which of the following is a command-line network utility that displays network
connections for Transmission Control Protocol, routing tables, and a number of network
interface and network protocol statistics?
A. netstat B. ping C. msconfig D. ipconfig
___5. Which of the following commands is used to display the full TCP/IP configuration
for all network adapters? Which represents physical interfaces, such as installed
network adapters, or logical interfaces, such as dial-up connections.

packets to a destination in some other discrete network.
A. Subnet Mask C. DNS
B. Default Gateway D. IP Address
___8. IPV4 address is also known as the __________
A. Default gateway C. Physical Address
B. DCHP Server D. IP address

C. Access command prompt, type ping-192.168.0.1 and press enter.
D. Access command prompt, type ping 192.168.0.1 and press enter.
___10. Which of the following is the correct concept about ping?
A. The higher the ping (in ms) the lesser the data traffic
B. The higher the ping (in ms) the faster the internet connection
C. The lower the ping (in ms) the faster the internet connection
D. The lower the ping (in ms) the faster the download and the upload rate

Directions: Identify the classes and Subnet Mask of the following IP addresses.

IP Address IP Address Class Subnet Mask

1. 10.120.100.200 1. 6.

2. 191.200.190.181 2. 7.

 You’ve set up all your network switches, plugged in all the cables, and configured
all your computers. One task remains before you can declare your network finished: You
must verify that the network works as expected.

Here are the few simple tests that you can conduct to make sure that your
network is functional.

I. Check the physical connections.

Check that the link light (red or green light next to RJ-45 port) is lit on every computer’s
LAN port. Check on both computers, switches, and routers. Make sure that red or green
light is on after connecting it to the LAN port.

II. Verify that you can log on.

When you’re sure with the physical
connection, you should attempt to log on to
each of your network computers using the
valid domain user account.

III. Check the network configuration.

To check the network configuration,
you can use the following windows command
lines:
A. Ipconfig - is a console application
program of some computer
operating systems that displays all
current TCP/IP network
configuration values.
B. Ipconfig/all - is used to display the full TCP/IP configuration for all network
adapters? Which represents physical interfaces, such as installed network
adapters, or logical interfaces, such as dial-up connections.
C. Netstat – a command-line network utility that displays network connections
for Transmission Control Protocol, routing tables, and several network
interface and network protocol statistics.

IV. Verify that your computer can ping each other.
Another basic test that you should perform is the ping command. Ping command is use
to test the connection between computers and to other network devices.
Ping is a network utility that refers to the signal sent out across the network to another
computer, which then sends its own signal back. This signal, which is measured in
milliseconds (ms), lets you know how long it takes for a packet of data to travel from
your computer to a server on the internet and back. That measurement is referred to as
the latency between the computer and its server.
A. Ping another computer (LAN)
Go to command line (cmd) and type the command ping (space) the IP address
of the target computer within the local area network and press enter.

B. Ping a website (WAN)

Go to command line (cmd) and type the command ping (space) the website
using the correct domain name (example www.google.com) and press enter.
