Packet Tracer Identify Mac and IP Addresses

[Title] Objectives Part 1: Gather PDU Information for Local Network Communication Part 2: Gather PDU Information for Remote Network Communication Background This activity is optimized for viewing PDUs. The devices are already configured. You will gather PDU information in simulation mode and answer a series of questions about the data you collect. Instructions Part 1: Gather PDU Information for Local Network Communication Note: Review the Reflection Questions in Part 3 before proceeding with Part 1. It will give you an idea of the type of information you will need to gather PDU information as a packet travels from 172.16.31.5 to 172.16.31.2. a. Click 172.16.31.5 and open the Command Prompt. b. Enter the ping 172.16.31.2 command. c. Switch to simulation mode and repeat the ping 172.16.31.2 command. A PDU appears next to 172.16.31.5. d. Click the PDU and note the following information from the OSI Model and Outbound PDU Layer tabs: (1) Destination MAC Address: 000C:85CC:1DA7 o Source MAC Address: 00D0:D311:C788 o Source IP Address: 172.16.31.5 o Destination IP Address: 172.16.31.2 o At Device: 172.16.31.5 e. Click Capture / Forward (the right arrow followed by a vertical bar) to move the PDU to the next device. Gather the same information from Step 1d. Repeat this process until the PDU reaches its destination. Record the PDU information you gathered into a spreadsheet using a format like the table shown below: Example Spreadsheet Format At Device Dest. MAC Src MAC 00D0:D311:C788 Src IPv4 172.16.31.5 Dest IPv4 172.16.31.5 000C:85CC:1DA7 Switch1 000C:85CC:1DA7 00D0:D311:C788 N/A N/A Hub N/A N/A N/A N/A 172.16.31.2 00D0:D311:C788 000C:85CC:1DA7 172.16.31.2 172.16.31.5 Step 2: Gather additional PDU information from other pings. Repeat the process in Step 1 and gather the information for the following tests: 172.16.31.2 [Title]  Ping 172.16.31.2 from 172.16.31.3.  Ping 172.16.31.4 from 172.16.31.5. Return to Realtime mode. Part 2: Gather PDU Information for Remote Network Communication In order to communicate with remote networks, a gateway device is necessary. Study the process that takes place to communicate with devices on the remote network. Pay close attention to the MAC addresses used. Step 1: Gather PDU information as a packet travels from 172.16.31.5 to 10.10.10.2. a. Click 172.16.31.5 and open the Command Prompt. b. Enter the ping 10.10.10.2 command. c. Switch to simulation mode and repeat the ping 10.10.10.2 command. A PDU appears next to 172.16.31.5. d. Click the PDU and note the following information from the Outbound PDU Layer tab:  Destination MAC Address: 00D0:BA8E:741A  Source MAC Address: 00D0:D311:C788  Source IP Address: 172.16.31.5  Destination IP Address: 10.10.10.2  At Device: 172.16.31.5 Question: What device has the destination MAC that is shown? The router e. Click Capture / Forward (the right arrow followed by a vertical bar) to move the PDU to the next device. Gather the same information from Step 1d. Repeat this process until the PDU reaches its destination. Record the PDU information you gathered from pinging 172.16.31.5 to 10.10.10.2 into a spreadsheet using a format like the sample table shown below: At Device Dest. MAC Src MAC Src IPv4 Dest IPv4 172.16.31.5 00D0:BA8E:741A 00D0:D311:C788 172.16.31.5 10.10.10.2 Switch1 00D0:BA8E:741A 00D0:D311:C788 N/A N/A Router 0060:2F84:4AB6 00D0:588C:2401 172.16.31.5 10.10.10.2 Switch0 0060:2F84:4AB6 00D0:588C:2401 N/A N/A Access Point N/A N/A N/A N/A 10.10.10.2 00D0:588C:2401 0060:2F84:4AB6 10.10.10.2 172.16.31.5 Reflection Questions Answer the following questions regarding the captured data: 2. Were there different types of cables/media used to connect devices? Yes, copper, fiber, and wireless 3. Did the cables change the handling of the PDU in any way? no 4. Did the Hub lose any of the information that it received? [Title] no 5. What does the Hub do with MAC addresses and IP addresses? nothing 6. Did the wireless Access Point do anything with the information given to it? Yes, it repackaged it to 802.11 frames 7. Was any MAC or IP address lost during the wireless transfer? no 8. What was the highest OSI layer that the Hub and Access Point used? Layer 1 9. Did the Hub or Access Point ever replicate a PDU that was rejected with a red “X”? yes 10. When examining the PDU Details tab, which MAC address appeared first, the source or the destination? Destination 11. Why would the MAC addresses appear in this order? A switch an begin forwarding a frame to a known MAC address 12. Was there a pattern to the MAC addressing in the simulation? no 13. Did the switches ever replicate a PDU that was rejected with a red “X”? no 14. Every time that the PDU was sent between the 10 network and the 172 network, there was a point where the MAC addresses suddenly changed. Where did that occur? It occurred at the router 15. Which device uses MAC addresses that start with 00D0:BA? The router 16. What devices did the other MAC addresses belong to? To the sender ad receiver 17. Did the sending and receiving IPv4 addresses change fields in any of the PDUs? no 18. When you follow the reply to a ping, sometimes called a pong , do you see the sending and receiving IPv4 addresses switch? yes 19. What is the pattern to the IPv4 addressing used in this simulation? Each port of a router has a set f nonoverlapping addresses 20. Why do different IP networks need to be assigned to different ports of a router? A router inter-connects different ip addresses 21. If this simulation was configured with IPv6 instead of IPv4, what would be different? The IPv6 would replace the IPv4 End of document
