Lab 2 Ce

This document appears to be a student lab report for a computer engineering course. It details experiments conducted using various DOS and networking commands to explore command line interfaces and obtain system information. The student used commands like ipconfig, ping, tracert and registry edits to view IP configurations, DNS servers, routing paths and customize the command prompt directory. Key findings included the student's network card vendor, APIPA IP assignment, and routers in the path to an Australian university website. Overall the student learned to use important command line tools and view address details of their computer.

EXPERIMENT No. 2
Name :Faiza abdulqadir albalooshi
ID :20130425
Section :02
Introduction:
A CLI (command line interface) is a user interface to a computer's operating
system or an application in which the user responds to a visual prompt by
typing in a command on a specified line, receives a response back from the
system, and then enters another command, and so forth. The MS-DOS
Prompt application in a Windows operating system is an example of the
provision of a command line interface. Today, most users prefer the
graphical user interface (GUI) offered by Windows, Mac OS, BeOS, and
others. Typically, most of today's UNIX-based systems offer both a
command line interface and a graphical user interface.

Objectives:
1- To identify and use basic DOS commands.
2- To explore and use networking command line tools.
Questions and Answers:

Exercise 1: What command do you use to create a folder in Windows command line?

i will use md command to create a folder in windows command line.

Exercise 2: From the command prompt, show that the folder with your student number,
which you created in exercise 1 has been created for you. Take a snapshot?

Exercise 3: What does the cd command followed by two periods, i.e. “cd..” command do?
If command followed by two period “cd ..." this moves the directory back one
directory also known as the parent directory
.
Exercise 4: Open up the registry editor by typing “REGEDIT” in the command prompt.
From the registry editor change the default directory that you see when opening the
command prompt to C:\ITCE352, i.e., when you open the command prompt the C:\
ITCE352> is the prompt. Show your steps and take a snapshot.
Steps:

1-Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \


CurrentVersion
2-Change the Path in DWORDs ProgramFilesDir, ProgramFilesDir (x86) to the
new path, probably just changing the drive letter
Exercise 5: Open a command prompt and run the following command. “Ipconfig”. From
the information displayed in your computer, examine whether the IP configuration is
obtained from the DHCP server or the APIPA. Explain and provide a snapshot.

APIPA because it obtains it’s IP automatically as soon as the system turns


on.

Exercise 6: Using the command “ipconfig /all”, fill in the following table with information
from your computer:

Description Address
IP Address 192.168.1.3
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server 192.168.1.1
DNS Server 192.168.1.1
MAC Address 90-48-9A-0E-EF
Exercise 7: In your web browser type in “http://www.macvendorlookup.com” and in the
search field, type in the MAC address you found in your computer. Who and from which
country is the vendor for the network card of your computer? Take a snapshot.

Hon hai precision Ind co.,Ltd company from shanghai ,China is the
vendor for the network card of my computer.

Exercise 8: As shown in the ARP cache table in Figure 3, one of the physical address entries
is “FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF”. Explain the purpose of this address.
FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF is a broadcast address, and it attends to every other
network adapter in the network i.e. When a device sends a packet to the
broadcast MAC address (FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF), it will be delivered to all the
stations in the local network. It needs to be used in order for all devices to
receive your packet at the data link layer.

Exercise 9: Now, execute the “ipconfig” command again, what is IP address listed next to
the Default gateway? Take a snapshot.

Exercise 10: What command would you use to request a new IP configuration handed out
by a DHCP server?
I will use Ipconfig /renew. To request a new IP configuration handed out by
a DHCP server

Exercise 11: At the command-line prompt, type “PING www.cisco.com”. Take a snapshot.
What is the IP address of this web site?

The IP address of this website is 2.19.16.178

Exercise 12: Perform a traceroute to the following destination: “Tracert www.jcu.edu.au”


at three different hours of the day. Find the number of routers in the path at each of the
three hours (take a snapshot).
Exercise 13: Using VisualRoute, trace the route to www.jcu.edu.au. Take a snapshot for
the output showing the IP addresses in the path.
Exercise 14: Identify the country of ISP networks that the tracert packets pass through
from the source (your computer) to destination (www.jcu.edu.au). Hint: you can find the
location of the servers by using this link: www.ping.eu.
Munchen
Conclution :
All in all , I learned many beneficial things from this experiment .one is how
to use command line tools ,plus, how to find important address of my
computer through command line such IP address and physical address .
