Lab 5 – TCP / IP

Learning Objections: Connect raspberryPI computer’s into two independent networks (B and C), assign each device an individual IP address and then connect those two networks with a router into a larger network from the two switches. Then ping from one machine from Network B to Network C after they were unioned.

Equipment: Keyboard, Desktop, Router, Switch, Ethernet Cable, RaspberryPI.

Observations, notes, and questions: We were able to create individual networks (B and C) however I don’t remember ever actually getting the two separate networks to connect. We were however able to connect a few computers and PIs together for a LAN party, some played HALO and others played Minecraft together.

Conclusion: We were able to create individual networks (B and C) by connecting ethernet cables from each machine into a switch that connected to other machines. Then we had to assign individual IP addresses with the command console on each machine to make a coherent network. This did work for separate networks, however I don’t remember ever actually getting the two separate networks to connect. We were however able to connect a few computers and PIs together for a LAN party, some played HALO and others played Minecraft together.
