Introduction

Discuss what you will do in this lab. Provide some background information on the main idea in this lab and discuss the purpose of the lab activity.

In this lab I learned how to configure and verifying Access Lists (ACL’s). ACL’s are lists of permitted addresses and where they are permitted. ACLs are specifically used by network administrators to filter traffic and to provide extra security for their networks. ACLs provide a powerful way to control traffic into and out of your network; this control can be as simple as permitting or denying network hosts or addresses.

Procedure

How did you go about implementing the lab activity? Describe the steps you took to ensure that the final implementation meets the original business goal. For example, did you design a new IP scheme and assign IP addresses to devices based on a given range of IP addresses? Did you assign IP addresses manually, dynamically, or both? Did you name devices based on location? Did you or would you connect switches first or routers first, why? Did you configure the end devices or the infrastructure devices first? What was the plan to verify that the network work?

Note that the procedure must take into consideration not only the steps you took to implement the lab solution but also the order in which you carried out those steps and a rationale for doing so.

The procedure was the same as last week’s lab. Basically, follow step by step in each exercise very closely. Then if I do get either lost or confused, to go back and reread the step instructions. Then still lost or confused, look into the book for more information about what is going on in this lab.

Results

Discuss your findings here. You devise some steps to complete the lab. Did the lab work? Did you make adjustments to your original procedure? How can you tell that the lab activity implemented meets the business needs? Yes the lab worked perfectly. I was able to execute the commands that were given to me.

Application and Analysis

Below are some sample questions that will guide you as you complete this lab section.

From the information given, can you develop a set of instructions to implement the solution in a small-to medium-sized network? Yes

What, if anything, would you change before applying the lab activity in a production (live) network? I would just keep going over the commands needed to perform the task and make sure everything is working the correct way it’s supposed to before applying anything.

What vertical market (Financial, Manufacturing, Education, Healthcare, Telecommunications, etc.) does this lab activity align with the most? Why? This would align with any career that is in the networking field because anything that has to do with setting up network infrastructure would be applied.

How was this lab activity similar to other labs that you have done in the past? I have not done any other lab that relates to this in the past.

Can you distinguish between concepts and application? Yes because concepts are the diagram of the task being performed and application is doing the tasks on your own.

Questions

1. What new concepts or theories have you learned about after completing this lab activity? The new concept learned in this lab is how to troubleshoot ACLs, and also how to configure and verify IP services.

2. In this class, we use the three steps approach to complete the lab activity. The steps include plan, implement, and verify. Discuss and explain how you execute each step in this lab activity. How I executed each step is following how to put the commands in. At the end of the lab, I had a good understanding of how doing this in a business setting.

3. What challenges, if any, have you encountered in this lab? How have you addressed those challenges? If you have not experienced any challenge, tell us what new troubleshooting commands you have learned this week and how that command has helped you complete the lab activity. There was no challenge in this week’s lab on getting it up and running.

4. How would you apply what you have learned this week in future courses or in the IS/IT field? This will apply to the future because this is needed when setting up a new network or setting up new devices in a network.

Conclusion and Recommendation

In the conclusion, you need to address what you intended to do and correlate that with what you actually did. Did the two differ in any way? Please explain any difference between expectation and observation. When performing this lab all i did was follow the steps given to me to perform the tasks and everything came together and worked out correctly as they were supposed to.

What would you suggest that we do differently to improve the lab experience? If you do not have any suggestions for this week, then what do you wish we add or remove from this week’s lab to enhance your overall learning experience? Don’t have any suggestions because I’m learning all of this for the first time.

How did the lab activity align with today’s technology? This lab activity aligns with today’s technology because anything that has to do with setting up different configuration of a network, which is performed every day in the tech world.

Lessons Learned

This is the take-away message. What have you learned from this lab activity? Assume this question comes from your grandma, what would you tell her? She does not need to have a technical background to understand what you did. In brief, make it plain and simple? The new concept I learned in this week’s lab was how to configure and verify ACLs in a network environment, also to configure and verify IP Services. With the main lesson was what commands to use when doing this, however with the exercise taking me step by step. Was able to get a good understanding of how doing this in a business setting.
