Use the WEB site www.flumps.org/ip/ by Paul Rogers to answer
these questions.
The Website is out of date and taken down. See picture.
1. List three companies that have a Class A IP address license.
A. BBN Planet, MA (NET-SATNET)
B. AT&T (NET-ATT)
C. US Cable
Networks
2. List three companies that have Class B IP address license.
3. Who owns IP address class license 9.x.y.z?
IBM
4. Find another Web site on the Internet that gives similar information. How
does the information on the new site compare with the information on the www.flumps.org/ip/ site?
Used several different ones.

A PC support technician is often called on to research equipment to maintain or improve a PC or network and make recommendations for purchase. You have been asked to upgrade a small network that consists of one switch and four computers from 100BaseT to Gigabit Ethernet. The switch connects
to a router that already supports Gigabit Ethernet. Do the following to price
the hardware needed for this upgrade:
1. Find three switches by different manufacturers that support gigabit
Ethernet and have at least five ports. Print the Web pages describing each
switch.
See pictures.
2. compare the features and prices of the two switches. Which switch would
you recommend for a small business network? What information might you want to know before you make your recommendation?
See picture. I would recommend the Trendnet switch because it has the
capability of 1000Mbps Gigabit where the Netgear does not.
3. Find three network adapters by different manufacturers to install in the
desktop computers that support gigabit Ethernet. Print Web pages for each
NIC.
See pictures.
4. Compare features of the three network adapters. Which one would you
recommend and why?
I would recommend the Intel it has the capability for 1000Mbps where the
others did not.
5. What is the total price of the upgrade, including one switch and four
network adapters?
Trendnet switch $31.99 - free shipping
Intel nic card $30.99 - free shipping
Total $155.95 excludes taxes

Project 17-4
Suppose you want to connect two computers to your company LAN
using a wireless connection. Use the Internet to research the equipment needed to create the wireless LAN and answer the following:
1. Print a Web page showing an access point device that can connect to an
Ethernet LAN.
See picture.
2. How much does the device cost? how many wireless devices can the access point support at one time? How is the devices powered?
$195.99 Does not say how many devices can connect. Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Power adapter is not included with access point, but supports external power 12V
DC powerjack (Energy Star 2.0 compliant with Efficiency Level 5) and 802.3af
3. Print three Web pages showing three different network adapters a
computer can use to connect to the access point. Include one external same
technology standards as the access point. How much does each device cost?
See pictures.
4. Which technology standards did you match to make sure the adapters and
access point are compatible?
IEEE 802.11
5. What is the total cost of implementing a wireless LAN with two computers
using the wireless access point?
$227.97
