OSI Model – Lab 4

Learning Objectives: Going more in depth of the OSI model and learning more about modern computer networks.

Equipment list: Routers, Switches, CD Drive, Networking Card, Hub

Conclusions: In this lab we used different methods to furthermore understand how layers of the OSI model interact with one another. We analyzed different pieces of the layer of the OSI model and discussed their functionality. After identifying aspects of the lower levels we then executed command prompts using the cmd on our devices to identify our ip address, MAC address, and ping other devices on the network.

Layer 7 – Application

Layer 6 – Presentation

Layer 5 – Session

Layer 4 – Transport

Layer 3 – Network

Layer 2 – Data Link

Layer 1 – Physical
