ACTIVITY 2 — Reading Activity Concepts
IpConfig

Ipconfig is a command used to find out the IP address of a certain network you are connected to.

How to use the ipconfig command?

1. Click on Start Button, then type cmd (command prompt) on the search box.
2. A black screen will appear as shown in the figure below.

Figure 1: Command Prompt Window

3. Type ipconfig and press enter. The figure below shows the IP configuration window using the
ipconfig command. The information from this window will be useful be- cause it shows the IP address,
subnet mask and default gateway of a network you are connected to.

EXERCISE 1
DEFINITION

Direction: Give the expanded form of the following acronyms. Write your answer on your notebook.
1. TCP/IP 6. ISP -
2. APIPA 7. NIC -
3. DNS 8. ICMP -
4. DHCP 9. LAN -
5. MAC 10. IP -

Assigning a static IP Address

In a home network with several computers and devices, it is ideal to assign each of them a specific address.
This is for the purpose of avoiding problems when you do troubleshooting which requires figuring out the IP
address of each of them. It is also a means to prevent address conflicts between the devices. You can also manage
them with ease if you have assigned their own addresses.

Here are the procedures in assigning an IP Address on a windows base computer system:

1. Open the Control Panel’s Network Connections icon.

2. Open the icon representing your computer’s network connection.

7
 3. Click the Properties button in the Status dialog box.

4. From the list of items, choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

8
 5. Click the Properties button. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box appears.

6.. Type the IP address for your computer. Enter the appropriate IP Address in the IP address section.
7. Type a subnet mask. The value used on a local network is commonly 255.255.255.0, but it can be different,
such as 255.255.255.127.

8. Type the default gateway address. The default gateway is the router, so type the router’s ad- dress. Figure 54
shows an example of assigning an IP Address, Subnet mask and default gate- way.
9. Type the address for the preferred DNS server. The address should be obtained from your In- ternet Service
Protocol. It is used to help your computer find web pages and other addresses on the internet.

10. Type the address for the alternate DNS server. The alternate Domain Name System (DNS)
server’s IP address is something that your ISP provides.
11. Click OK to confirm the settings.
12. Close all other open dialog boxes and windows.

9
Assigning a Dynamic IP Address
If more than a few computers comprise the LAN, manually configuring IP addresses for eve- ry host on the
network can be time-consuming and prone to errors. In this case, using a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server would automatically assign IP addresses and greatly simplify the addressing process.

ACTIVITY 3

1. What is an IP address? Explain.

2. Discuss the 4 classes of IP address.
3. Why is it necessary to assign IP address?
4. Compare static IP address from a dynamic IP address.
