tailieunhanh - Lab 7.1.9a Introduction to Fluke Network Inspector

The Network Inspector software can distinguish workstations, servers, network printers, switches, and managed hubs, if they have been assigned a network address. Options for conducting this lab. 1) Use Network Inspector in a small controlled LAN that is configured by the instructor in a closed lab environment as shown above. The minimum equipment should include a workstation, a switch, and a router. 2) Perform the steps in a larger environment such as the classroom or the school network to see more variety. Before attempting to run NI on the school LAN, check with the instructor and the network administrator | Cisco Svstems I Lab Introduction to Fluke Network Inspector 24 so o DCE 24 so o Objective This lab is a tutorial demonstrating how to use the Fluke Networks Network Inspector NI to discover and analyze network devices within a broadcast domain. This lab will demonstrate the key features of the tool that can be incorporated into various troubleshooting efforts in the remaining labs. Background Preparation The Network Inspector software can distinguish workstations servers network printers switches and managed hubs if they have been assigned a network address.

Before attempting to run NI on the school LAN check with the instructor and the network administrator. The following is a list of points to consider 1. Network Inspector detects the devices within a network subnet or VLAN. It does not search beyond a router. It will not inventory the entire network of the school unless it is all on one subnet. 2. Network Inspector is not a Cisco product nor is it limited to detecting just Cisco devices. 1 - 12 CCNA 1 Networking Basics v - Lab Copyright 2003 Cisco Systems Inc. 3. Network Inspector is a detection tool but it is not a configuration tool. It cannot be used to reconfigure any devices. The output in this lab is representative only and output will vary depending on the number of devices device MAC addresses device hostnames and which LAN is joined. This lab introduces the Fluke Networks Network Inspector software which may be useful in later troubleshooting labs and in the field. While the Network Inspector software is a valuable part of the Academy program it is also representative of
