Lab Manual 1 gives the experiments with using wireshark to analyse the packet data, setting up LANs, understanding how to enable forwarding, setting up static routes for routing and conducting experiments to understand IP reassembly and fragmentation, various ICMP messages such as ICMP redirect, time exceeded etc. and traceroute.
For those students who are interested in advanced experiments, the second lab manual talks about how to use the Quagga package to configure and play with routing protocols such as RIP.
Lab Manual 2 gives a basic introduction to the quagga package and how to start quagga and ripd daemons, how to configure RIP on the routers and observe the dynamic learning of routes. It also talks about enabling or disabling split-horizon.
