Objectives
Part 1: Gather PDU Information
Part 2: Reflection Questions
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.
Part 1: Gather PDU Information
Note:
Review the Reflection Questions in Part 2 before
proceeding with Part 1. It will give you an idea of the types of information
you will need to gather.
Step 1:
Gather PDU information as a
packet travels from 172.16.31.2 to 10.10.10.3.
a.
Click 172.16.31.2 and open the Command
Prompt.
b.
Enter the ping 10.10.10.3 command.
c.
Switch to simulation mode and
repeat the ping 10.10.10.3 command. A
PDU appears next to 172.16.31.2.
d.
Click the PDU and note the
following information from the Outbound
PDU Layer tab:
·
Destination MAC Address:
00D0:BA8E:741A
·
Source MAC Address:
000C:85CC:1DA7
·
Source IP Address: 172.16.31.2
·
Destination IP Address:
10.10.10.3
·
At Device: Computer
e.
Click Capture / Forward 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:

Step 2:
Gather additional PDU
information from other pings.
Repeat the process in Step 1 and gather
the information for the following tests:
·
Ping 10.10.10.2 from
10.10.10.3.
·
Ping 172.16.31.2 from
172.16.31.3.
·
Ping 172.16.31.4 from
172.16.31.5.
·
Ping 172.16.31.4 from 10.10.10.2.
·
Ping 172.16.31.3 from 10.10.10.2.
Part 2: Reflection Questions
Answer the
following questions regarding the captured data:
1.
Were there different types of
wires used to connect devices? _______
2.
Did the wires change the
handling of the PDU in any way? _______
3.
Did the Hub lose any of the information given to it? _______
4.
What does the Hub do with MAC addresses and IP
addresses? _______
5.
Did the wireless Access Point do anything with the
information given to it?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
6.
Was any MAC or IP address lost
during the wireless transfer? _______
7.
What was the highest OSI layer
that the Hub and Access Point used? _______
8.
Did the Hub or Access Point ever
replicate a PDU that was rejected with a red “X”? _______
9.
When examining the PDU Details tab, which MAC address
appeared first, the source or the destination?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
10.
Why would the MAC
addresses appear in this order?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
11. Was there a pattern to the MAC addressing in the simulation? _______
12. Did the switches ever replicate a PDU that was rejected with a red
“X”? _______
13.
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?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
14. Which device uses MAC addresses starting with 00D0? _______
15. To what devices did the other MAC addresses belong?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
16. Did the sending and receiving IPv4 addresses switch in any of the
PDUs? _______
17. If you follow the reply to a ping, sometimes called a pong, do the sending and receiving IPv4
addresses switch? _______
18.
What is the pattern to
the IPv4 addressing in this simulation?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
19. Why do different IP networks need to be assigned to different ports
of a router?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
20. If this simulation was configured with IPv6 instead of IPv4, what
would be different?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
