NETWORK CONNECTIVITY TESTING

Many scenarios require you to test


things locally on your computer using the
command line.

The exact steps to use the ping tools


from the command line depend on your
computer's operating system.
Using Ping Test on Microsoft Windows

1. On your keyboard press Windows Key +


R, type CMD the Enter key

2. On command line window type ping +


google.com or any domain that you want
to test. Or ping + 192.168.0.10 or any IP
address of a device that you want to test.
Example:

C:\>ping google.com
C:\>ping facebook.com
C:\>ping 192.168.1.2
C:\>ping client/server

Using Ping Test on Microsoft Windows


Interpret the output from ping:
If the remote host is active and configured to
respond to ping requests, responses appear.
Alternatively, if the remote host is down, or not configured
to respond to ping requests, you do not see any
response.

Interpret the output from ping:


REPLY FROM:
By default, windows will send four ping messages (one on
each line) and then shows you the outcome of each of the
four messages.

BYTES:
Each ping message request is 32 bytes in size. This is a
default setting.

TIME:
This shows the round trip amount of time in milliseconds
(8ms = 0.008seconds).
Interpret the output from ping:
TTL (TIME-TO-LIVE):
The TTL value represents the maximum number of IP routers that the
packet can go through before being thrown away or discarded.
Windows default TTL is 64 therefore when you ping a device on your
local home wireless/network then the ping will not cross any routers
and the TTL should remain at the default.
Request Timeout:
The destination IP/hostname or website did not respond. They could be due
to a number of reasons such as; the device does not exist, is not powered
on or is configure not to reply to ping requests.

Some websites or online resources do this via a commercial firewall so that


hacker cannot target their systems.

Some of commercial firewall software are:


Palo Alto Network, Cisco, Pfsense, SonicWall, Sophos, Fortinet, ZoneAlarm and etc.
WIRELESS LAN TESTING

It is important to conduct wireless


LAN (WLAN) testing to ensure your system
meets security and performance
requirements.
Wireless LAN Testing
Considerations

Determines where client devices are


able to satisfy coverage requirements.
Determines whether the WLAN can
satisfy user needs for using specific
applications over the WLAN.

Wireless LAN Testing Considerations


Determines whether users can continue to
make use of applications while roaming
throughout the coverage areas, especially
when the roaming requires handoffs between
access points.

Wireless LAN Testing Considerations


Security vulnerability testing ensures that
the WLAN implements required security
mechanisms and offers sufficient
protection to unauthorized access and
passive monitoring.

Wireless LAN Testing Considerations


After installing a WLAN, it is important to run
a series of acceptance/verification tests to
ensure that the WLAN satisfies all
requirements.

Wireless LAN Testing Considerations


:
In some cases, such as when implementing
a very large WLAN, it may be beneficial to
simulate the behavior of the WLAN before
actually installing it.

Wireless LAN Testing Considerations


Prototype testing involves implementing an
individual function of the WLAN that is not
well understood before deploying the
complete system.

Wireless LAN Testing Considerations


Before installing the WLAN across the entire
organization, which may include numerous
buildings and different applications, it is
strongly advisable to install the system in a
limited number of facilities (ideally one) and
make that one work effectively first.

DEVICE SYSTEM SETTINGS
CONFIGURATION

Please take note that all network devices are


different and as such may require different
configuration steps. This document contains a
step-by-step process for configuring TP-Link
wireless device.
Log into the router’s web-based utility
When you login for tplink WiFi Device, you can easily
manage some wireless settings for your devices.
Using “System Tools” configurations for tplink
router devices, you can manage some advance
settings like time settings, diagnostics, firmware
upgrade, factory default, backup and restore,
reboot, password and system log settings for TP-
Link router devices.
