SECTION II
21. The TIA/EIA has specified unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling standards for use in LAN cabling environments.
TIA/EIA 568-A and 568-B stipulates the commercial cabling standards for LAN installations; these are the standards most commonly used in LAN cabling for organizations and they determine which color wire is used on
each pin.
Required:
Use the table below to answer questions 1, 2 and 3 below.
1. Identify the pair number for each pin number. (8 marks)
2.Identify the wire color for each pin number. (8 marks)
3.Name the status for 10 and 100 base-T signal for every pin number. (4 marks)
(Total: 20 marks)

2. From PC-B capture a screenshot displaying the TCP/IP network configuration values. (2 marks)
3. Capture screen showing connectivity between the two computers. (4 marks)
4. From PC-A use appropriate command utility to trace the path to PC-B. (2 marks)
5. From PC-B use appropriate command utility to display routing table. (4 marks)
6. Capture a screenshot showing the mapping between domain name and IP address of the two PCs. (4 marks)
Upload the screenshots you have captured.
(Total: 20 marks)
23. Using appropriate simulator configure the topology as shown below.
