Lab 1‐1: Network Connectivity Testing - sthompson2752/Network-Fundamentals GitHub Wiki

Lab 1-1 consisted of trying new commands to test the connectivity of the network and begin working with hostnames and IP addresses.

Commands Used- ipconfig: Shows the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of the computer ipconfig /all: Shows the same as above as well as many other system configurations ping: Tests connectivity between the computer and what is being called on tracert: Used to show the delays of packets in transit and displays the path they take nslookup: queries the DNS to get the domain name/IP address for another DNS record

When pinging the Default Gateway, I kept getting "Request time out" in the prompt. I was not sure if this was supposed to happen or not so I asked for help and figured out that the problem was likely the fact that I was on my personal computer. I pinged my IPv4 instead and that worked. I could not make an attempt to ping the Default Gateway on the computer in class because the VM was still not fixed.
