Preparing for Lab 8
Background
There are various ways in which computers can be networked together. Some computer networks (such as computer labs) configure their workstations for static IP addresses for security and to provide other interesting features such as WOL (Wake Up on Lan) which allows a signal from a computer system to remotely start all or specified workstations within the lab. Hot-spots (such as cafes or airport lounges) offer the ability for users to connect to the Internet (via DHCP) from their mobile devices (notebooks, netbooks, tablets, or smart phones). Finally, there are hybrid solutions that may offer both fixed IP address (computer workstations) and allow for wireless connections (via DHCP) to a mobile devices (like at your Seneca computer labs).
Common Mistakes / Warnings
Be aware of these common mistakes that students make that can cause problems for their future labs.
Preparing for Lab Sign-Off
In order to properly complete your lab and move to the next lab, you must have your instructor "sign-off" on your lab
- Each "signed-off" lab (before due date) is worth 1% of your final grade.
- Signing-off on labs help to spot errors that can cause problems with future labs.
- Do you ask the instructor what to check for! Read at the bottom of the lab the requirements, and have all proof available for instructor to view at same time.
- Failing to be prepared and asking instructor what to check when assignment is mark will result in deduct of marks!
- For example, open multiple terminals with command results. If properly set-up ahead of sign-off, the process should only take instructor approx 20 seconds to sign-off your lab.
- If you do not have your lab-logbook, you MUST show your work and your lab log-book to your instructor for sign-off in the next class. This may cause a late penalty if past the required due date.
