Labs IK2218

There will be two lab sessions during the term. In order to get full credit for the course, students have to complete all labs.
If you are not a D-student, you need to get access to the CSC computers for lab 2. You can get access at Delfi (see here)
The lab rooms are located in the "Q" building at Osquldas väg 10, and Orange/Karmosin in the "E" building. Lab 1 is in the "Q" building. Lab 2 is in the "E" building.
Each lab will take five hours. There will be a number of different lab occasions for each lab.

You can sign up for lab 1 here.
You will be able to sign up for lab 2 here.

Note that there are preparation questions to the labs that you have to complete before the lab and you have to submit them at the beginning of the lab session.

There are make-up labs for those who do not complete a lab. Note that if you fail the lab then you will have to wait until the course is given next time.

  • Lab 1: UDP and TCP
    Location: room B:230, Q building, Osquldas väg 10, floor 2
    The lab manual is available here. You find the preparation questions in the manual.
  • Lab 2 DNS Location: E-building, Grå or Gul (see schedule)
    Lab instructions are here. Note that you must complete the preparation questions in Moodle. You log into moodle and show that you have completed the preparation questions at the start of the lab. Reference material for DNS lab: Bind manual
  • Make-up labs will be held during week 42 (on Thursday and Friday)
    You can sign up for the first lab here and for the second (DNS) lab here.

When will we be able to sign up for lab sessions for IK2218? Right now it says "Only for students taking EP2120 course!" on the select session pages on moodle.

Lärare kommenterade 9 september 2015

I may be wrong (or someone changed something in the mean time) but clicking on the link I see "Only for students taking IK2218 course!". Can you confirm it still shows "EP2120" for you?

kommenterade 9 september 2015

For me it says "Sorry, this activity is currently hidden" and then redirects to https://moodle.ssvl.kth.se/course/view.php?id=36

kommenterade 9 september 2015

Thanks for pointing it out, Daniel!
That's correct -- the activity was hidden (by mistake), but now it should be visible. Sorry for the inconvenience! 

kommenterade 9 september 2015

Now the link works for me!

kommenterade 10 september 2015

Is the lab1 named as Routing Lab in moodle because the title is UDP and TCP on this page?

Please confirm.

Lärare kommenterade 10 september 2015

It should be "Labs / Select session for Lab 1 (IK2218)", this is how it appears to me.

kommenterade 10 september 2015

Yes, that is for signing up for the lab. I am asking about the name of instruction manual on moodle. Is it the one named as Routing Lab?

kommenterade 10 september 2015

No, the manual for the first lab is not titled Routing, nor it is in Moodle. It will appear above.
Routing lab is the fourth lab for EP2120. 

kommenterade 10 september 2015

Thanks.

Lärare kommenterade 10 september 2015

The lab manual for Lab1 is now available above.

Can't seem to find info regarding lab partners. Are we doing the labs in pairs? Should we find a partner before the labs or during?

kommenterade 13 september 2015

Regarding the first lab: yes, you are working in pairs.
As for matching: if you have a preferred lab partner, then just ensure that both of you are signed up for the same session. Otherwise, if you do not have a match before coming to the lab, you will be teamed up with another student in the same situation. 

kommenterade 14 september 2015

Will there be more sessions for this lab? I realized that I have a seminar during my booked session (B) and there is only one other slot remaining at session F.

kommenterade 14 september 2015

We may open another session (during week 40) and there will be a make-up session for those who are unable to attend Lab 1 (IK) or Labs 1/2 (EP) (during week 42). 
However, in order to plan what would be the best solution, I would like to have an estimate of students who do not have their slots booked yet (either because there are no slots left or none of the available options works for them). Please contact me at ljubica@kth.se.

Hello!

I can't register for any  Lab 1 Sessions for IK2218 because they are all full. Have people been registering incorrectly or are there too few sessions?

I am enrolled for the IK2218 Course at Vallhallavägen Campus.

BR,

Marcus

kommenterade 15 september 2015

I have also not registered for a lab session, would appreciate another opportunity.

kommenterade 15 september 2015

A new session on Monday September 28 (8:00-13:00) has been added! You can sign up now.

kommenterade 16 september 2015

In the 4th page of the lab manual, it is written that the report should contain the social security number (personnummer) of each student. What are foreign students without personnummer supposed to do instead?

kommenterade 16 september 2015

Those who have temporary personnummer can use that one. Otherwise just leave it blank, it's fine.

kommenterade 16 september 2015

There is a redirect loop for the moodle. Am I the only one affected or is this a general problem?

Lärare kommenterade 16 september 2015

Arne, we are not aware of any issues with the moodle links. If you can provide more specific information, which link you click, what happens, etc, we can have a look.

kommenterade 16 september 2015

The loop can be bypassed (at least it was for me) by using a browser that doesn't save cookies such as Chrome incognito mode.

kommenterade 16 september 2015

Thanks Marcus. It works. And now it also works again without incognito.

It tried to access the moodle page. I first tried the link I have bookmarked (https://moodle.ssvl.kth.se/course/view.php?id=36) and after that https://moodle.ssvl.kth.se. Neither worked.

Hi, few days ago I cant access the scheduling websites. And yesterday when it works, there are no available slot anymore.

Does anyone have the same experience and still "labless" ?

kommenterade 18 september 2015

Today's afternoon session B (starts at 13) is fully booked, yet least crowded of all remaining sessions.
If there are still students without a booking, consider attending this session. Please send me an e-mail if you are intending to do so.

kommenterade 21 september 2015

All the labs I'm able to attend are full.
Is there a way to get to carry them through anyway, like showing up at a session (say, the afternoon session of 2015-09-25) anyway? Otherwise, is there anyone I could contact?

Will there perhaps be an extra lab session, since it seems all the current ones are overcrowded?

kommenterade 21 september 2015

It is evident that lab sessions sometimes happen to be underutilized.
Please keep in mind that, if you know in advance that you will not be able to attend the lab in your reserved slot (due to schedule collisions or other reasons), there might be other students who would gladly use that opportunity. Thus, you can remove your choice in the booking system and contact the responsible TA to assign you to a different session. Thanks!

kommenterade 24 september 2015

When the lab report is sent in, how long does it take before we know if we passed the lab? And how will we get this information?

kommenterade 24 september 2015

I will not be able to attend my lab time (25 september 8.00) so if their is anyone who would like to take that spot you are more than welcome to.  

kommenterade 24 september 2015

Erika: that's a good question. We will do grading in batches and as soon as your group's report has been graded, we will sent you feedback whether the submission is good as it is (= you passed the lab), or the group needs to make some corrections and resubmit the report (e.g. if some parts are missing or incorrect). That process is iterative but usually does not require many iterations. Feedback will be sent via email, thus to make it more convenient for all of us, it is useful that the person sending the report include other members' emails to reply directly (e.g. in TO/CC field).

kommenterade 24 september 2015

Hi, I attended the Mon 21 sep 8:00 - 13:00 lab session, but forgot to write down the email address to submit the report to. Any ideas?

kommenterade 25 september 2015

Hi Olof,

I think Ljubica is one of the three TA's. ljubica@kth.se is hers. Please comment me if im wrong.

Why do you not provide information on how and when the report is to be sent in? Please include it on the lab page or in the lab instructions PDF

kommenterade 3 oktober 2015

As stated at the lab, reports should be submitted by sending an email to any of the lab assistants, within a week from when your group performed the lab exercise.

kommenterade 4 oktober 2015

How are you doing with the gradings for the first labs? It has been almost two weeks since we sent in our report.

kommenterade 5 oktober 2015

I have tentatively scheduled the make-up session for EP2120 labs 1 & 2  and IK2218 lab 1 for Thursday October 15, 2015, starting at 13:00. You can sign up here.
Those who want to perform the make-up lab, but find this proposed schedule inconvenient, should contact me.

kommenterade 5 oktober 2015

Will there be more lab sessions for IK2218 lab 2, apart from the makeup? All sessions are full once more just like with lab 1

kommenterade 6 oktober 2015

The makeup session has plenty of available slots, can you consider that one?

kommenterade 6 oktober 2015

Siraj, i am in The same situation w.r.t lab 2. The makeup lab session page says it's only for lab 1 for IK2218, will there be another makeup session for lab 2 as well?

Hi, when will the lab results be reported to the system? Thanks in advance.

kommenterade 17 november 2015

Hi,

We are a group of four people who did the 1st lab during the make-up session.

We sent in our lab report after a week to ljubica@kth.se on oct. 22:th. Since then we haven't heard anything back but yesterday we got mails from Daisy saying we will get an F reported to Ladok.

I were under the impression there would be a possibility to re-submit if we failed some part? What did we fail? What can we do to get a passing grade on lab 1?

Lärare kommenterade 17 november 2015

Pontus,

It turns out that some names were indeed missing in our records and did not get reported correctly. We have taken care of that now, so within a day or so you should be able to see your results.

If the problems remain, please contact your course responsible teacher directly (György or me).
