Lab Short Description
- In our network lab, each workstation, equipped with a powerful CPU and ample RAM, connects to a central switch via an Ethernet cable.
- The server in the corner runs a specialized operating system to manage user authentication and shared database access.
- We configured the router to assign IP addresses dynamically using the DHCP protocol, ensuring all clients can access the internet.
- To protect the LAN from external threats, a firewall was installed to filter all incoming and outgoing data packets.
- Students learn to create network topologies using simulation software before implementing them with physical hardware.
- A protocol analyzer tool, like Wireshark, is used to capture and inspect the bandwidth usage of different network applications.
- The lab's network interface card in each computer must have the correct driver installed to communicate effectively on the network.
- We use fiber optic cables for the backbone connection to achieve higher bandwidth and reduce latency across the department.
- A proxy server acts as an intermediary, caching frequently visited websites to speed up browsing for all lab users.
- Understanding TCP/IP, the fundamental protocol suite of the internet, is a core objective for every CCE student in this lab.
