You can use the ipconfig command to get host computer configuration information, including the IP address, mac address, your adapter info and router or switch info, subnet mask, and default gateway. the tracert command can be used to check the path to the destination IP address that you want to reach. The tracert command displays the series of IP routers that are used in delivering packets from your computer to the destination and how long it took on each hop. If the packets are unable to be delivered to the destination, the tracert command displays the last router that successfully forwarded your packets. To get more detailed information about throughput rates and to determine what the physical topology is you need to be able to access the equipment and telco rooms because there might be some hidden problems. Like the equipment may not be compatible causing errors on the network and the cables, ports on connectivity devices, and data jacks have to be labeled and according to TIA/EIA standards. Case Project 6-2 The telcom room is located on the 1st floor of the Connect Spree and there are 4...

...MARKETING MANAGEMENT - SUMMARIES PART 1 UNDERSTANDING MARKETING MANAGEMENT Chapter 1 – Defining marketing for the 21st Century Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders. Marketing management is the art and science of choosing target markets and getting, keeping, and growing customers through creating, delivering, and communicating superior customer value.
