This was a short week for me, as I wasn’t in class on Monday, and no Lab on Friday. Last week’s lab and discussion has mostly been over subnets… a complicated mumbo jumob of 1s, 0s, and binary conversion. It’s taken me awhile to actually catch on, but I think Wednesday’s exercise made it all stick in my brain. Some terms we’ve discussed and expanded upon recently include: subnet masks, bits, gateways, and IP addresses… and how they all work together.
My contribution was most significant during the Lab, as we had to set up our own network. I pretty much told my partner what to do, and we rocked it… except for the 10 minutes we wasted trying to figure out why the router wouldn’t work. (Note: Make sure you flip the switch to “ON”. )
