Lab01: Environment Setup - morgan-hanrahan/Tech-Journal GitHub Wiki

In this lab, we set up the wks01 and fw01 VM's. We were able to ping fw01 to the champlain.edu, and run the whoami, hostname, ping -n google.com, and ipconfig commands on the wks01 VM. Finally, we were able to use the tracert command against champlain.edu with a max of three hops on the wks01 VM.

All the the commands we learned in this lab were very useful. The hostname is important to help you view or change the system's domain and hostname. The whoami command is similar, letting you view the username of the current user. Finally the ipconfig command is very helpful at many times. It allows you to make sure you are connected to your internet as well as showing all the TCP/IP network configuration values.
