Standardization and the OSI Model

Standardization and Reference Models

u There is a purpose to learning about reference models and standardization, even though at first it might seem obscure. Reference models allow different _________________________ to create hardware and software that will work with other technology that use the same model and standards.

u The OSI model is the main reference model used in networking.*

The OSI Model

u The OSI model is a _________________________ model that defines the way _________________________ communications take place between two _________________________.

u There are _________________________ layers on the OSI model*

The OSI Model

u To understand the OSI model is to understand how computers communicate.

u Is mainly used for _________________________ _________________________ issues (different protocols work at different levels).*

The OSI Model

1. _________________________
2. _________________________
3. _________________________
4. _________________________
5. _________________________
6. _________________________
7. _________________________

How the layers of the OSI Model Work Together

u As a piece of information is sent from computer A it works _________________________ the layers of the OSI model.

u Each layer (except the _________________________) adds information to the packet headers that can be read by the _________________________ layer on the other computer.

u On the receiving computer the data goes from the bottom up.

u Each layer then _________________________ off and uses the _________________________ information from the corresponding layer.*

So what does each layer do?

u Each layer works with different _________________________ kind of like an assembly line.

u Different pieces of _________________________ hardware work with different protocols at different layers.

u On a _________________________ test you might be asked about either of these things.*

OSI Model Assignment

u Get together as a team and split up the seven layers of the OSI model.

u Look online for websites related to the OSI model.

u Learn your level of the OSI model be prepared to share:

n What happens at that level.

n What protocols work at that level.

n What hardware works at that level.*

(this part of the lecture gone so you can look it up on your own…yeah, I’m evil like that.)

Review

u Which layer is responsible for breaking data into bits?

u Which layer is responsible for breaking data into packets?

u Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is the standardizing body for many industries.

u The _________________________ section specifically deals with networking*

IEEE 802 Family

u There are _________________________ subcommittees in the 802 family.

u Each subcommittee is responsible for a specific part of networking.

Lab 1-8 Installing Hyper-V & Workstations

Before you start:

1. Before you start, go into your BIOS. Go into AdvancedàCPU configurationàSecure Virtual Machine enabled. Some motherboards don’t allow virtualization. Yours does, but you have to make sure that is enabled.
2. Save and restart.
3. Once in your 2008, go to //nettech02/isos and copy the server installer ISO to your hard drive.
4. 

Directions

Log into your server as an administrator. Bring up Server Manager (under Administrative Tools). You’re going to add the role of Virtual Server. Go to the Roles Summary area by clicking on Roles. Click Add Roles Select Hyper V Follow the wizard. You will be going through and mostly reading. DO READ. When the NIC area comes up, click your network card to indicate that’s the one you’ll use to access OUTSIDE your network. Restart the computer. This will take some time. Don’t let it just stop. It has to go through the entire thing.
When you have restarted you’ll get the message to the right. Now you’re going to have to create a new Virtual Machine! Since you know what a Virtual Machine is, you’re probably going to want to just forge ahead and do it without reading directions. DO NOT DO THIS! Read all the instructions!
Create a Virtual Machine
We’re going to start by going to your Hyper-V Manager to create a new virtual machine. Open Server Manager and expand roles. Expand Hyper-V. Expand Hyper-V Manager. Click on the name of your server. You’ll notice you have no Virtual Machines, no Snapshots, no Details…nuthin. Sad.
From the action menu select ActionàNew-->Virtual Machine. The Virtual Machine wizard comes up. Let’s name this one AD Server 1. I want you to click “Store the Virtual Machine in a Different Location”. You should have a separate partition (you should not have formatted the entire partition) that you can store your machines on. If you did not create a separate partition yet, go to disk management and create and format a partition. Go ahead. I’ll wait here. If you didn’t follow directions and already formatted the entire partition, you are a bad, bad person. Okay, you’re not, but you’ll just have to save them all here on your main drive. Why is this bad? If your host operating system goes down and you have to reinstall, you might lose your partition and your servers. Ideally, store them on a separate drive. I saved mine on Drobo.
Let’s give it 1000MB of RAM. Your adapter should already be connected, if it is not we’ll connect it later. You don’t have any existing virtual disks so in the Connect Virtual Disks area just make sure that everyone looks right, and give it 50GB. Make sure it’s saving in the same place as your virtual server did. You can tell it to install an operating system later. That’s next.
Click next, then make sure that your description is correct. If it isn’t, click the back key until you find the area you want to change. Note on mine, the network is not connected so I’m going to have to fix that. Click Start the virtual machine after it is created. Click finish and let it do its thing.
When your machine starts you’re going to see a machine that says BOOT FAILURE. Do not panic. No seriously. It’s okay. Just relax. Go to your happy place. This just means your machine is created, but like a new “REAL” machine, it doesn’t have an operating system yet! See, I told you it was okay.

Install an Operating System on your Virtual Machine
Go back to your Hyper-V Manager and you’ll notice that under Virtual Machines there is now an entry to AD Server 1. Mine is running, is using 0% CPU, and has been up for 2 whole minutes. (Yes, I’m doing the lab as I’m writing the lab ‘cause I’m cool like that.) Right click on your virtual machine to look at the settings. Some things you can change while it is running. Other things you can’t. I closed my Virtual Machine window, but my server keeps running. So I’m going to have to turn off my server in order to fix my adapter setting because I want to install from an ISO. Right click on the VM and select shut down. What happens? 5. Ah ha! Shut down is an OS command, and there IS no OS. So right click and select turn off. Confirm. It should now say AD Server 1 Off.
Let’s install from an ISO. Start your Virtual Machine. It’ll tell you no boot device is available. Let’s start by installing Integration Services. Remember “Virtual Machine Additions” from Virtual PC? These are similar. They make sure that everything plays nice together. Go under the Action menuàInsert Integration Services Disk. It’ll do its thing. Now go under the Media menu and release that image.
Go back under the media menu and select DVD DriveàInsert Disk. This is how you capture an ISO. Find the ISO you copied over from Nettech02 Find the latest downloaded Server 2008 and select it (see image). Go under the Action menu and select Reset (aka Restart your VM). Your installer will start up! You’re going to install Enterprise Server on the Virtual Drive (VHD) that you created.
Let it do its thing! It should all be easy peasy! Restart when you’re done. Install your drivers as needed. Set up your server! Use the password P@ssword for the password.

Virtual Machine Settings

Turn off your server completely. Go under Administrative ToolsàHyper-V Manager. Click on your Server under the Virtual Machines pane. Under your server name on the right, click settings Notice that down the left you can see all of your virtual devices. If you don’t have a network card, add one now. Click Add Hardware Click Network Adapter. Click Add. You’re not connected to a network (since you haven’t set one up yet) so just click apply. Next time you log on, it will install your drivers and you’ll be set! Don’t restart yet.
Click Add Hardware Select SCSI Controller. Click Add. On the next screen select Hard Drive and click Add. Where it says location click on 1 because SCSI ID 0 has been assigned to your virtual controller. Click New under Virtual Hard Disk File. Selected Fixed Size and click next Name it SCSI01 and be sure to change the location to where you stored your other virtual machine. Make it a 5 GB disk (note you can copy the contents of another disk to this one, but we’re not going to do this.) Repeat this to create two more 5 GB disks named SCSI02 AND SCSI03.
Let’s balance processor use. If your machine has more than one processor, and your hardware supports it, you can assign a different virtual server to each processor. Under Settings click Processor under the Hardware list. The Resource Control section of the panel specifies how the physical resources are allocated to the virtual machine: Virtual Machine Reserve - The percentage of the resources of the physical CPU in the host system which are guaranteed to be available to the selected virtual machine. Virtual Machine Limit - The maximum percentage of the total resources of the host's physical CPU to be made available to a virtual machine. Relative weight - The weight of total physical CPU resources available to the virtual machine relative to all other virtual machines running on the same host. This setting is effective when virtual machines on the same host are in contention for physical CPU resources. Value may range from 1 to 10,000, with a higher value representing a greater share of available resources. Limit processor functionality check box prevents the virtual CPU from presenting CPUID code which is unacceptable to some older guest operating systems such as Windows NT. Unless problems are encountered running a guest operating system, however, it is probably best to leave this feature switched off. Let’s have this use only ONE processor. We’re going to have three virtual machines, so have this one use half of the processor power and have relative weight. Change those to 50. We do not have to limit processor functionality because we aren’t using an old OS. But if for some reason you had to have NT in your network, you would have to do that. Click Okay. Restart your server and run all your Windows updates. You’ll have to put in your proxy. If your computer won’t connect to the Internet, ActionàInsert Integration Services Setup Disk. Your integration of guest services service may not have It will also install a driver. That’s your SCSI driver.

Create a Virtual Workstation

1. Go back into your Server Manager and we’re going to create a Workstation to use in the network you’re going to create.
2. ActionàNewàVirtual Machine.
3. Select Save it in a Different place and put it in the same place as your server, but in a different folder.
4. Give it 1000MB of memory.
5. Don’t connect it to anything.
6. Make it a 10 GB disk.
7. Let’s be tricky and install our OS now!
8. On Installation Options click “Install an OS from a boot CD/DVD ROM.
9. Insert your Windows 7 DVD.
10. Click finish and it will create your machine and run your installer! Nifty, huh?
11. Double click on Win7 to finish up the installation.
12. When you’re done installing be sure to go under the Action menu and select Insert Integration Services Disk to make sure it will play well with others.
13. Now install another Virtual Workstation and install Windows XP.
14. Do another and install Windows 98. See below for specs.
15. Install drivers on XP and Window 7.

OS	RAM	Hard Drive Space
Windows 7	1 GB	10 GB

Create a Virtual Network

1. Go back into your Server Manager and we’re going to create a virtual network.
2. Make sure your virtual machines are turned off.
3. Under Actions pane under your server name select “Virtual Network Manager.”
4. Click New Virtual Network.
5. Select External.
6. Click Add.
7. Name your Network External Net
8. Enable Virtual LAN identification for parent partition.
9. Click Okay.
10. You’ll get a warning that some communications may be interrupted, so make sure your host computer is not doing anything important on the network.
11. Once it’s created you MAY need to do a few things:
1. Test to make sure your host can still get on the Internet.

i. If not, go into the properties of your network adapters and make sure TCP/IP v4 and Microsoft Virtual Network Switch Protocol are selected (you can also have TCP/IP v6)

ii. If it can, good.

2. Connect your virtual machine to the network.

i. Make sure your VM is off.

ii. Go into Settings

iii. Select Adapter

iv. Click and drag to External Net

12. The virtual network acts as a virtual switch between your virtual servers/machines and the Internet.
13. Now go into your server and ensure it can update. Make sure to set your proxy.
14. Activate your copy of Windows.

15. Assign your workstation to this virtual network by doing the same thing (closing it, assigning the NIC to the External Net).
16. Update it.
17. Activate your copy of Windows.

Lab 1-9 Parent and Child Disks

Create two more servers
One of the really cool things you can do with Virtual Servers is create one perfectly set up server, and then lock it and use that hard drive to make “copies” of that server. Why would you do this? You have to test different software on different servers, but you don’t want to mess up your original. You want to have all servers to have the same configuration so you don’t have to go through the reinstallation each time. The “Father” disk can act as a backup in case one virtual server becomes corrupt. Be sure your first AD Server 1 is completely updated and patched before moving on. Once you are SURE it’s completely updated shut down. Locate the AD Server1.vhd file on your computer. Right click, select properties. Click read only. Once you have created a “daddy disk” you do not want to make ANY changes to it, or it messes up your differencing disks. Notice that your drive is only taking up 6.64GB of space, even though it’s a 50GB virtual disk. Isn’t that cool?
Make sure your AD Virtual Server 1 is completely in the off state. If things are slow, turn off your workstation as well. ONCE YOU START THIS PROCEDURE YOU MUST NEVER DELETE OR MODIFY YOUR ORIGINAL VIRTUAL HARD DRIVE! NEVER EVER. EVER. Once you start this, what must you never do? 14. Open Hyper-V manager and select your host server name. 15. Under the Action menuàNewàHard disk. 16. The virtual disk wizard will come up. 17. You are going to select a Differencing Disk. Read the description, what is a Differencing Disk for? 18. Name the disk ADDC-1.vhd. Make sure it saves where the rest of your virtual disks are. 19. On the next screen you have to tell it where your parent disk is. That’s you AD Server 1.vhd disk. Click Browse and then Open. 20. Click Next. It will show you your setup. Make sure everything is correct. Click finish. 21. Repeat this step one more time, but name the second drive ADDC2.vhd. Once again, you want to use the AD Server 1.vhd. Check your folder to make sure you have a total, at this point, of six disks. One parent (AD Server 1.vhd), 2 children (ADDC1 and ADDC2), and your three SCSI drives.
Now you’re going to create a new virtual machine that uses those disks. You’re actually going to create two. Go to Hyper-V manager and ActionàNewàVirtual Machine Name this yourname_ADDC1. Make sure it’s storing it in the right place. Give it 1000MB Ram. Connect it to External Net. Click Use and existing virtual hard disk and browse for ADDC1.vhd. Click Next. Select “Start Virtual Machine after you’re done”. What happened? For your IP address: Group One: IPs 192.168.1.201-215 Group Two: IPS 192.168.1.216-230 Group Three: IPs 192.168.1.231-254 Group Four: IPs Default gateway: 192.168.1.1 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 DNS: 192.168.1.70 and 192.168.1.71 X=the number of your workstation in the classroom.

Lab 1-10 Testing Network Connectivity

One of the protocols used in the TCP/IP suite is called PING (Packet Internet Groper). Ping uses a series of Internet Message Control Protocol (ICMP) packets to determine whether a remote host is active and what the round trip delay currently is in communicating it.

Parker Sneevle is trying to get to the server named teechur.com but it’s not working. You can test his computer’s connectivity to that computer by using Ping. This works the same in Windows 9x, XP, or Vista.

1. Open your command prompt (DOS prompt in Windows 9x). Do this in your DELL!

2. At the prompt type ping www.teechur.com.

3. 

4. You see the information above. This means that for some reason, the ICMP packets did not reach the remote computer. This could be caused by a number of situations:

1. The server is down
2. The network is using a firewall that blocks ICMP packets
3. The network card on the local computer isn’t working.
4. The network card on the remote computer isn’t working.
5. The DNS server is not resolving the IP address correctly.
4. You have a couple of options here. If you know the IP address of the remote computer and you know that the network is not blocking ICMP packets, you can type ping followed by the IP address. You can also test your local network card to ensure that it is working. Since troubleshooting protocol dictates that you start locally and work your way out, you’re going to start by testing your local network card.
5. You can use the ping command to do this using the loopback address of 127.0.0.1. At the command prompt type ping 127.0.0.1.
6. You see the following:
7. You determine that the network card is working. How can you tell? (Answer below)

9. Obtain the IP address of teechur.com from me. Ping the ip address.

10. Is Teechur.com working? (answer below)

You can use the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) to identify the hardware address of a computer you have connected to by domain name, mapped network drive, or UNC pathname.

1. Log into Windows XP.
2. Open the command prompt.
3. At the command prompt type ARP and hit enter.
4. List the switches you can use with this command.

Purpose

5. Type arp –a and hit enter.
6. List the computers your computer is currently connected to.

IP Address

Network Address

Which one is the server?

No go into your server, make sure everyone is started up and network cables are connected. Log in.

Fill out below:

	Student Name	Server Name	IP Address	MAC Address
1
2
3

1. At the command prompt, everyone type ping 127.0.0.1. Write down what happens.

127.0.0.1 is the “home” address, or built in address of your network card. EVERY network card uses this and it’s only used to test that the card works. If you get a timeout, that means the card isn’t working!

2. Student 1 ping student 2 from command prompt of your server. Write down what happens in the white space below.
3. Student 2 ping student 1.
4. Student 3 ping student 1.
5. Student 1 ping student 3.
6. Student 2 ping student 3
7. Student 3 ping student 2.
8. Do an arp –a from your command prompt (everyone). Do you see everyone’s IP address? Write down the MAC address (media access code) for each one on the table above.

Now fire up your virtual servers. Ping each one to ensure your network is working.

Virtual Server Name

IP Address

Successful Ping?

Model of the Model

Sometimes it is difficult to conceptualize something like the OSI model without seeing. Since we can’t look at the network and “see” the OSI model, I want you to create a model of your own. This model should be a manipulative that can be experienced by touch and feel. (You may certainly add the other senses if it is appropriate.)

Using materials of your choosing, you are going to create a three dimensional model of the OSI model.

You will work as a team on this model. Decide together the format your model will take and fill out a project sheet describing your project.

Use the following as a guideline for my expectations for this model:

Media

· Uses appropriate media (clay, cardboard, wood, etc.)

· Model shows appropriate creativity.

· Model holds up to use by other students 15 Points

Concept

· Clearly demonstrates the 7 layers

· Layers are labeled with complete descriptions of what happens at each layer.

· Transmission/communication pathway is indicated, both sending and receiving.

• Intercommunication between layers on the sending and receiving computers is indicated via use of headers.

· Events and devices which occur/work at each layer are clearly identified at the layers they work at.

80 points

Presentation

· Uses appropriate terminology to describe model.

· Demonstrates the communication pathway from one computer to another

· Presents model in a mature and appropriate fashion

· Shows clear understanding of the OSI model 35 points

Written

Create a flyer to go with the project describing all of the following concepts:

8 The purpose of the OSI model in networking

8 A brief description of what happens at each layer

8 A list of at least five protocols that work at each layer (use TCP/IP or LINUX protocols)

8 A list of hardware that works at each layer

8 How data travels from one computer to another through the layers, and what each layer does with the data

8 A “For more information” section

50 points

Teamwork

· All team members work together during class time.

· Each team member has a job or jobs within the project.

· All team members are a part of the presentation.

· Each team member fills out a self evaluation and a rubric. 20 points

Total 200 points

Warning: Too often teams get hung up on the media portion and make a really smashing looking model, but fail to show how the OSI model works, demonstrate the header information, etc. Notice that concept is worth 80 points.
