Lab 08
After reading chapter 08 in the textbook, complete the following and upload the
results to D2L. Take only the screenshots of your work as indicated below and save
them to a single Word or PDF document. D2L makes it really tough to grade PNG
and other image files, so I will only accept Word/PDF.

You will need to replace the computer names and account names to those
appropriate for your virtual environment.
Review the screenshots standards document for any work requiring the use
of a virtual machine.
You may do this lab in your IA Lab VM or your own desktop. If you chose to
do this in your own desktop, make sure to include your name in the
screenshot (type it somewhere or whatever you need to do).

Installing a Linux OS
1. In the IA lab, create a new VM inside of the vApp that you have been using so
far. This is the vApp with the windows machines, a pfSense firewall, and a
blank Ubuntu VM.

Note: You will need to either: create a new VM, install over the existing
Ubuntu VM, or if all else fails, use the projects environment at
http://projects.ialab.us.

2. When creating the VM, make sure to include your name in the machine name
(e.g. mham-linux).

8-1: Navigating the Windows FS with CLI

1. Go through the lab 8-1 in the textbook. This lab can be done on your host
computer or in one of the IA lab VMs.
2. When you finish the lab, take a screenshot of your command history. The
command history can be gathered by typing doskey /history into the
command prompt.

8-2: Navigating the Linux File System

1. On your newly created Linux VM, perform lab 8-2 from the textbook.
2. If you have not dealt with the Linux CLI before, this will be a good primer.
Some of you have taken CSC150 and CSC250, so this may be a bit of a review.

8-3: Using Windows Task Manager

1. Go through lab 8-3 in the textbook. You can use your VM or local host
machine for this lab.
2. When you get to step 10, where you are showing the CPU and Memory usage,
open up Performance Monitor and create a graph that shows the same
information.
3. Take a single screenshot of both the Performance Monitor and Task Manager
windows side by side.

8-4: Displaying Linux Processes

The most common way people view Linux processes and CPU usage is through the
command line. This lab shows you how to do it through the GUI (which happens to
be seemingly resource intensive) and through the CLI.
1. On your newly created Linux VM, go through lab 8-24 from the textbook.
2. When you get to step 7, you are introduced to the top command.
Unfortunately, top does not show your output in a human friendly way
(everything is displayed in kilobytes) Figure out how to make top show
Megabytes instead.
3. Take a screenshot of your humanly readable top output.

8-5: Viewing DHCP Client and DNS Client Status

4. Go through lab 8-5 in the textbook. You can use your VM or local host
machine for this lab.
5. Take a screenshot of the history of commands you used in the command
prompt (steps 9-10). Remember, to show your command history you can use
doskey /history or simply press F7.

8-7: Mapping a Drive Letter

This lab has you create a shared folder and connect to it from the same machine
where you created it. That is a strange thing to do, so we are going to modify this to
make it more realistic. Rather than connecting to the share from the machine it
resides on, you will use a second machine to connect to the shared folder remotely.

Think of it this way:

WIN01
192.168.2.100

WIN02
192.168.2.101

We have to machines: WIN01 and WIN02
The book will have you create the share on WIN01
Rather than connecting to the share from WIN01 (since its the same machine
where the share is) we will connect to it from WIN02.
While connecting to the share form WIN02, in the instructions, replace
localhost in the share path with the IP address of WIN01.

1. Go through Lab 8-7 from the textbook. For this lab, you should use your
virtual machines in the IA lab.
2. On step 4, where you are connecting to localhost, log into your second
Windows machine. Connect to the share from your second windows
machine (replacing localhost with the IP address of the first windows
machine).
3. When you reach step 12, take a screenshot of the mapped drive letter in My
Computer before disconnecting from it.
