Introduction to the Module
This module covers the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to install and
manage network protocols in a networking environment.
Network protocols are a set of rules that define how data is transmitted and received over a
network. They enable communication between devices and ensure that data is exchanged in a
standardized and efficient manner. Here are some common network protocols such as TCP, IP,
HTTP and HTTPS, FTP, DHCP.
An IP address, or Internet Protocol address, is a numerical label assigned to each device
connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. There are
two type of IP address namely IPV4 and IPV6.
Network layers refer to the conceptual divisions or levels of functionality within a computer
network.. The most commonly referenced model for understanding network layers is the OSI
(Open Systems Interconnection) model, which consists of seven layers.
This module is designed to meet the industry requirement under the Hardware and Networking
Service occupational standard, particularly for the unit of competency: Installing and managing
Network Protocols
This module covers the units:
Install and manage network protocols
Identify network protocol applications
This guide will also assist you to attain the learning outcome stated in the cover page.

Unit One: Network protocols
This unit is developed to provide you the necessary information regarding the following content
coverage and topics:
Overview of network protocols services
Selecting, testing and validating network protocol services
Designing a network addressing system
Configuring and testing IP address
This unit will also assist you to attain the learning outcomes stated in the cover page. Specifically,
upon completion of this learning guide, you will be able to:
Understand of network protocols services
Select, teste and validate appropriate network protocol services
Design a network address system
Configure and test IP address
1.3.1. IP address
IP addresses are classified into two main types based on version: IPv4 (Internet Protocol version
4) and IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6). These types differ in their format and the number of
bits used to represent addresses.
1. IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4):
Format: IPv4 addresses are 32-bit numerical labels, typically represented in dotted-
decimal format (e.g., 192.168.0.1).
Address Space: Provides approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses.
Notation: Consists of four octets separated by periods (e.g., 192.168.0.1).
Common Usage: Still widely used in most networks today.
Example: 192.168.1.1
2. IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6):
Format: IPv6 addresses are 128-bit hexadecimal numbers, separated by colons (e.g.,
2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).
Address Space: Offers an immensely larger address space than IPv4, allowing for
virtually unlimited unique addresses.
Notation: Consists of eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, separated by colons.
Common Usage: Becoming increasingly adopted as IPv4 addresses are exhausted.
Example: 2001:0db8::1
Additional Types:
1. Public IP Address:- is globally unique and routable on the Internet. The Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority (IANA) to organizations and individuals assigns it.
Example: The IP address assigned to your home router by your Internet Service Provider
(ISP).
Self-check Questions
Part I: - Say True if the statement is correct else False the statement is incorrect
_______1. The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is commonly used for sending and receiving
emails over the internet.
_______2. IP addresses can be manually configured on devices to allow communication within a
network.
_______3. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is primarily used for secure communication
between a web browser and a web server.

_______1. Which protocol is commonly used for transferring files between a client and a server over
a network?
A. SMTP C. HTTP
B. FTP D. SNMP
_______2. What is the purpose of a subnet mask in IP networking?
A. To identify the default gateway
B. To determine the network portion of an IP address
C. To establish a secure connection
D. To allocate IP addresses dynamically
_______3. Which protocol is responsible for translating domain names to IP addresses?
A. FTP C. DNS
B. DHCP D. SNMP
_______4. Which class of IP address provides the largest number of host addresses per network?

B. Class B
You can also type control panel in the search bar at the lower left of the screen and press Enter to
open the control panel.
Note: If you need to set a static DNS server, select Use the following DNS server address: and
input the address of DNS server. By default, the computer obtains the address automatically.
Step 6:- Use the Edit IP settings drop-down menu and select the Automatic (DHCP) option.
Step 4:- Type the following command to configure the network adapter to obtain its TCP/IP
configuration using DHCP and press Enter:
netsh interface ip set address "Ethernet1" dhcp
In the command, make sure to change “Ethernet1” for the adapter’s name that you want to
configure.
After completing the steps, the network adapter will stop using a static IP address, and it’ll obtain
a configuration automatically from the DHCP server.
Step 4:- Type the following command to enable the network adapter to obtain its TCP/IP
In the command, make sure to change “Ethernet0” for the adapter’s name that you want
to configure.
Step 5:- Type the following command to enable the network adapter to obtain its DNS
configuration using DHCP and press Enter:
Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex 3 -ResetServerAddresses
In the command, change “3” for the InterfaceIndex for the adapter to configure.
Note: - Once you complete the steps, the IP and DNS addresses will be reset from the adapter,
and your computer will receive a new dynamic configuration from DHCP.
Step 5:- Right-click the network adapter and select the Properties option.
Step 6:- Select the “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” option.
Step 7:- Click the Properties button.
Note:- After completing the steps, the statically assigned TCP/IP configuration will no longer
be available, and the computer will automatically request a dynamic network configuration from
the network.
Step 4: -Type the following command to view the complete TCP/IP network configuration and
press Enter: ipconfig /all.
Once you complete the steps, you will have an overview of the PC's entire TCP/IP configuration.
Refresh network settings
To release and renew the network configuration with Command Prompt, use these steps:
Step 1:Open Start.
Step 2:- Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as
administrator option.
Step 3:- Type the following command to remove the current network configuration and
press Enter: ipconfig /release
Step 4:- Type the following command to reconfigure the network configuration and
press Enter: ipconfig /renew
Once you complete the steps, the entries stored in the DNS cache of Windows 10 will be deleted
and refreshed. Usually, this command will come in handy when you cannot connect to another
LAP Test
Task 1:- assign the following IP address for your computer
IP: - 192.168.10.12
Subnet mask : - 255.255.255.0
Default IP address: - 192.168.0.220
Task 2:- Connect your computer with internet connection and assign dynamic IP address.
Task 3:- using configuration test commands check the IP address of your computer assigned on
task 2.
