 What’s In

System Configuration is the way a system is set up. It is the collection of

components that make up the system. Configuration can refer to either hardware
or software, or the combination of both. For instance, a typical configuration for a
PC consists of 32MB (megabytes) main memory, a hard disk, a modem, a CD-ROM
drive, a VGA monitor, and the Windows Operating System.

Many software products require that the computer has a certain minimum
configuration. For example, the software might require a graphics display monitor
and a video adapter, a particular microprocessor, and a minimum amount of main
memory capacity.

When you install a new device or program, you sometimes need to configure
it, which means that you need to set various switches and jumpers (for hardware)
and to define values of parameters (for software). For example, the device or
program may need to know what type of video adapter you have and what type of
printer is connected to the computer.

What is It

IP Addressing

An IP address is a number that is used to identify a device on the network.

Each device on a network must have a unique IP address to communicate with other
network devices. Network devices are those that move data across the network,
including hubs, switches, and routers. On a LAN, each host (device that sends or
receives information on the network) and network device must have an IP address
within the same network to be able to communicate with each other.

A person’s name and fingerprints usually do not change. They provide a label
or address for the person’s physical aspect—the body. A person’s mailing address,
on the other hand, relates to where the person lives or picks up mail. This address
can change. On a host, the Media Access Control (MAC) address is assigned to the
host Network Interface Card (NIC) and is known as the physical address. The physical
address remains the same regardless of where the host is placed on the network in
the same way that fingerprints remain with someone regardless of where he or she
goes.

An IP address consists of a series of 32 binary bits (1s and 0s). It is very

difficult for humans to read a binary IP address. For this reason, the 32 bits are
grouped into four 8-bit bytes called octets. An IP address, even in this grouped
format, is hard for humans to read, write, and remember. Therefore, each octet is
presented as its decimal value, separated by a decimal point or period. This format

4
is called dotted-decimal notation. When a host is configured with an IP address, it is
entered as a dotted-decimal number, such as 192.168.1.5.

The logical 32-bit IP address is hierarchical and is composed of two parts. The
first part identifies the network, and the second part identifies a host on that network.
Both parts are required in an IP address. For example, if a host has an IP address of
192.168.18.57, the first three octets, 192.168.18, identify the network portion of the
address, and the last octet, 57, identifies the host. This is called hierarchical
addressing, because the network portion indicates the network on which each unique
host address is located. Routers only need to know how to reach each network, not
the location of each individual host.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask indicates the network portion of an IP address. Like the IP
address, the subnet mask is a dotted-decimal number. Usually all hosts within a LAN
use the same subnet mask. Table 1 shows default subnet masks for usable IP
addresses that are mapped to the first three classes of IP addresses:

 255.0.0.0: Class A, which indicates that the first octet of the IP

address is the network portion
 255.255.0.0: Class B, which indicates that the first two octets of the
IP address are the network portion
 255.255.255.0: Class C, which indicates that the first three octets
of the IP address are the network portion

Table 1. Default Subnet Masks for Usable IP Addresses

Class A Network Host

Octet 1 2 3 4

Class B Network Host

Octet 1 2 3 4

Class C Network Host

Octet 1 2 3 4

Class D addresses are used for multicast groups. There is no need to allocate
octet or bits to separate network and host addresses. Class E addresses are reserved
for research use only.

IpConfig

Ipconfig is a command used to find out the IP address of a certain network

you are connected to.

How to use the ipconfig command?

1. Click on Start Button, then type cmd (command prompt) on the search box.
2. A black screen will appear as shown in the figure below.

Figure 1: Command Prompt Window

3. Type ipconfig and press enter. The figure below shows the IP configuration
window using the ipconfig command. The information from this window
will be useful because it shows the IP address, subnet mask and default
gateway of a network you are connected to.

What is It

Assigning a static IP Address

In a home network with several computers and devices, it is ideal to assign

each of them a specific address. This is for the purpose of avoiding problems when
you do troubleshooting which requires figuring out the IP address of each of them. It
is also a means to prevent address conflicts between the devices. You can also
manage them with ease if you have assigned their own addresses.

Here are the procedures in assigning an IP Address on a windows base

computer system:

1. Open the Control Panel’s Network Connections icon.

2. Open the icon representing your computer’s network connection.

3. Click the Properties button in the Status dialog box.

4. From the list of items, choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

5. Click the Properties button. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties
dialog box appears.
.

6. Type the IP address for your computer. Enter the appropriate IP Address
in the IP address section.
7. Type a subnet mask. The value used on a local network is commonly
255.255.255.0, but it can be different, such as 255.255.255.127.
8. Type the default gateway address. The default gateway is the router, so
type the router’s address. Figure 54 shows an example of assigning an IP
Address, Subnet mask and default gateway.
9. Type the address for the preferred DNS server. The address should be
obtained from your Internet Service Protocol. It is used to help your
computer find web pages and other addresses on the internet.
10. Type the address for the alternate DNS server. The alternate Domain Name
System (DNS) server’s IP address is something that your ISP provides.
11. Click OK to confirm the settings.
12. Close all other open dialog boxes and windows.
Assigning a Dynamic IP Address

If more than a few computers comprise the LAN, manually configuring IP

addresses for every host on the network can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
In this case, using a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server would
automatically assign IP addresses and greatly simplify the addressing process.

Figure 3: Assigning a Dynamic IP Address

Direction: Answer the following questions briefly and write your answer on your
notebook
1. What is an IP address? Explain.
2. Discuss the 4 classes of IP address.
3. Why is it necessary to assign IP address?
4. Compare static IP address from a dynamic IP address.

 What’s In

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a software utility used to

dynamically assign IP addresses to network devices. This dynamic process eliminates
the need to manually assign IP addresses. A DHCP server can be set up and the hosts
can be configured to automatically obtain an IP address. When a computer is set to
obtain an IP address automatically, the other entire IP addressing configuration
boxes are dimmed or disabled. The server maintains a list of IP addresses to assign,
and it manages the process so that every device on the network receives a unique IP
address. Each address is held for a predetermined amount of time. When the time
expires, the DHCP server can use this address for any computer that joins the
network.

These are the IP address information that a DHCP server can assign to hosts:
 IP address
 Subnet mask
 Default gateway
 Optional values, such as a Domain Name System (DNS) server address

The DHCP server receives a request from a host. The server then selects IP
address information from a set of predefined addresses that are stored in a database.
After the IP address information is selected, the DHCP server offers these values to
the requesting host on the network. If the host accepts the offer, the DHCP server
leases the IP address for a specific period of time.

Using a DHCP server simplifies the administration of a network because the

software keeps track of IP addresses. Automatically configuring TCP/IP also reduces
the possibility of assigning duplicate or invalid IP addresses. Before a computer on
the network can take advantage of the DHCP server services, the computer must be
able to identify the server on the local network. You can configure a computer to
accept an IP address from a DHCP server by clicking the Obtain an IP address
automatically option in the NIC configuration window, as shown in Figure 1.

If your computer cannot communicate with the DHCP server to obtain an IP

address, the Windows operating system automatically assigns a private IP address.
If your computer is assigned an IP address in the range of 169.254.0.0 to
169.254.255.255, it can communicate with only other computers in the same range.
An example of when these private addresses would be useful is in a classroom lab
where you want to prevent access outside to your network. This operating system
feature is called Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA). APIPA continually requests
an IP address from a DHCP server for your computer.
 Figure 1: Assigning a Dynamic IP Address

What is It

Ping

The ping is a Command Prompt command used to test the ability of the source
computer to reach a specified destination computer. The ping command is usually
used as a simple way to verify that a computer can communicate over the network
with another computer or network device.

The ping command operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol

(ICMP) Echo Request messages to the destination computer and waiting for a
response. How many of those responses are returned, and how long it takes for them
to return, are the two major pieces of information that the ping command provides.

Table 2. Ping Command Syntax

Syntax Description
-t Using this option will ping the target until you force it to stop using
Ctrl-C.
-a - This ping command option will resolve, if possible, the hostname of
an IP address target.
-n count This option sets the number of ICMP Echo Request messages
to send. If you execute the ping command without this option,
four requests will be sent.
 -l size Use this option to set the size, in bytes, of the echo request packet
from 32 to 65,527. The ping command will send a 32 byte echo
request if you do not use the -l option.
-f Use this ping command option to prevent ICMP Echo Requests
from being fragmented by routers between you and the target. The
-f option is most often used to troubleshoot Path Maximum
Transmission Unit (PMTU) issues.
-i TTL This option sets the Time to Live (TTL) value, the maximum of
which is 255.
-v TOS This option allows you to set a Type of Service (TOS) value.
Beginning in Windows 7, this option no longer functions but still
exists for compatibility reasons.
-r count Use this ping command option to specify the number of hops
between the computer and the target computer or device that you
would like to be recorded and displayed. The maximum value for
count is 9 so use the tracert command instead. If you are
interested in viewing all hops between two devices.
-s count Use this option to report the time, in Internet Timestamp format,
that each echo request is received and echo reply is sent. The
maximum value for count is 4 which means that only the first four
hops can be time stamped.
-w timeout Specifying a timeout value when executing the ping command
adjusts the amount of time, in milliseconds, that ping waits for
each reply. If you do not use the -w option, the default timeout
value is used which is 4000, or 4 seconds.
-R This option tells the ping command to trace the round trip path.
-S srcaddr Use this option to specify the source address.
-4 This forces the ping command to use IPv4 only but is only
necessary if target is a hostname and not an IP address.
-6 This forces the ping command to use IPv6 only but as with the -4
option, is only necessary when pinging a hostname.
target This is the destination you wish to ping, which is either an IP
address or a hostname.
/? Use the help switch with the ping command to show detailed
help about the command's several options.

What’s More

Using the ping Command

Ping is one of your most important tools in troubleshooting Internet problems.

It shows you whether the Domain Name Server is working, whether the computer
you are trying to talk to is reachable, and how long it takes to get there. It does this
at a very low level — only the most basic Internet functions have to be up and
running.
 Here are the steps:

1. Click on Start Button, then type cmd (command prompt) on the search box.
2. A black screen will appear as shown in the figure below.
3. Type ping followed by the IP address you desire to verify. The figure below
shows the screen of the ping command and its output.

Figure 2: Step 3

Figure 3: Pinging

This output shows several things:

 Decoding names to network addresses — A domain name server (DNS)

resolves machine names to numeric addresses. A single machine can have
many names, all of which resolve to the same Internet address. In the example
just given, the name www.google.com resolves to the Internet address
122.2.152.23.

 Round-trip response time — The parts of the replies that say things like
time=105ms show you how long it took from the time the client machine sent
out the ping message until a reply came back (1 ms is 1 millisecond, or one
thousandth of a second). The variability in the times you see reflects that
networks do not always respond identically. Differing amounts of traffic on the
 communication lines or differing loads on the server are common causes.
You will see very different response times depending on the access equipment
you use.

 Routing hop count — The part of the replies that says TTL=50 tells you about
the route the message took from one point to another. The acronym TTL
stands for Time to Live, which is a measure of how many rerouting from one
point to another the packet has to go through before IP declares it
undeliverable. The number following TTL (called the hop count) is a number
that usually starts at 255 and counts down by one every time the message
