Environment Setup

---

Weekly Reflection- When completing this lab I found it to be a good refresher of some of the commands I already know. The instructions provided by Joe Eastman were clear and relatively easy to follow. We configured our firewall through pfSense and configured our windows vm. Some things I learned how to do were assigning WAN and LAN's and giving them their addresses. All pretty simple and important to keep in mind. We made new local user accounts and placed them under administrative control and then once everything was configured and put into their rightful place we were asked to ping certain addresses and make sure we set up our LAN and WAN correctly. Fortunately enough mine all worked!

Commands to Refer Back to-

whoami- Command reports back the account the computer is currently using.

hostname- Provides the first name/host of the user.

ping- This command is used to communicate with addresses and this is helpful to make sure that you can actually reach your destination.

ipconfig /all- This provides the user with a variety of information such as giving a list of different addresses and general information about the computer, including its current ip address.

tracert- Tracert traces the route of a packet and reports back to the user the amount of hops it used and if it was successful.
