CompTIA® Network+ Lab Exercise : Configuring Ip Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway Statically On A Windows Client

3. Configuring IP address, subnet mask, default gateway statically on a Windows client

Description: Configure IP address, subnet mask, default gateway statically on Windows client workstation WS1 with the following IPv4 configuration settings:

IP address: 192.168.1.3

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 192.168.1.1

Instructions:

Configure IP address, subnet mask, default gateway statically on Windows client step 1

1. Click on WS1 in the network diagram this will open Windows Networking dialog box.

Configure IP address, subnet mask, default gateway statically on Windows client step 2

2. Click the option button "Use the following IP address" and configure the IP address as 192.168.1.3, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway as 192.168.1.1 and click OK button

Configure IP address, subnet mask, default gateway statically on Windows client step 3

Notes: IPv4 configuration parameters at the minimum include IP address and subnet mask. If you want to communicate outside of the local area network (LAN), you need to configure default gateway also. Additionally, if you want to communicate using hostnames or domain names (for example when accessing the Internet), you need to configure DNS Server IP addresses also.
