The document describes a Packet Tracer activity where the user gathers information about packets traveling between devices with different IP addresses and MAC addresses. The user traces packets sent via pings between devices, recording the destination MAC, source MAC, source IP, and destination IP at each device. This information is collected into a spreadsheet. The user then answers 20 reflection questions about patterns in the MAC addresses, handling of packets by different devices, and IP addressing in the simulation.

Packet Tracer - Identify MAC and IP Addresses
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:
Example Spreadsheet Format
Test At Device Dest. MAC Src MAC Src IPv4 Dest IPv4
Ping from 172.16.31. 00D0:BA8E:741 000C:85CC:1DA 172.16.31. 10.10.10.
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? Sí, de cobre y de fibra 2. Did the wires change the handling of the PDU in any way? no 3. Did the Hub lose any of the information given to it? no 4. What does the Hub do with MAC addresses and IP addresses? nada 5. Did the wireless Access Point do anything with the information given to it? Sí. Es a empaquetar como inalámbrica 802.11 6. Was any MAC or IP address lost during the wireless transfer? no 7. What was the highest OSI layer that the Hub and Access Point used? Capa 1 8. Did the Hub or Access Point ever replicate a PDU that was rejected with a red “X”? si 9. When examining the PDU Details tab, which MAC address appeared first, the source or the destination? destino 10. Why would the MAC addresses appear in this order? Un interruptor puede comenzar la transmisión de una trama a la dirección MAC de forma más rápida si el destino aparece en primer lugar 11. Was there a pattern to the MAC addressing in the simulation? no 12. Did the switches ever replicate a PDU that was rejected with a red “X”? no 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? Ocurrió en el Router 14. Which device uses MAC addresses starting with 00D0? El Router 15. To what devices did the other MAC addresses belong? Para el remitente y el receptor 16. Did the sending and receiving IPv4 addresses switch in any of the PDUs? no 17. If you follow the reply to a ping, sometimes called a pong, do the sending and receiving IPv4 addresses switch? si 18. What is the pattern to the IPv4 addressing in this simulation? Cada puerto de un router requiere de un conjunto de no superposición de direcciones 19. Why do different IP networks need to be assigned to different ports of a router? La función de un router es para inter-conectar diferentes redes IP. 20. If this simulation was configured with IPv6 instead of IPv4, what would be different? Las direcciones IPv4 sería reemplazado con direcciones IPv6, pero todo lo demás sería el mismo.
