Packet Tracer - Identify MAC and IP Addresses
Topology
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

Ping from 172.16.31.2 00D0:BA8E:741A 000C:85CC:1DA7 172.16.31.2 10.10.10.3

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?
Yes, for example, copper straight via cables and fiber optic cables
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? The addresses are sent to the switch via this device.
5. Did the wireless Access Point do anything with the information given to it?
It sent the frame towards the devices connected towards it, and that was only received by those with the same MAC and IPv4
destination address as such device.
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? Layer 1
8. Did the Hub or Access Point ever replicate a PDU that was rejected with a red “X”? Yes
9. When examining the PDU Details tab, which MAC address appeared first, the source or the destination?
The MAC address of the destination would be displayed first
10. Why would the MAC addresses appear in this order?

Since this device would verify if the destination MAC address of the frame corresponds its MAC address first when getting the f
rame, the MAC addresses would display first in that order.
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? Within device router
14. Which device uses MAC addresses starting with 00D0? Router
15. To what devices did the other MAC addresses belong? 10.10.10.3
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?
Yes
18. What is the pattern to the IPv4 addressing in this simulation?
Every router port is assigned a unique IPv4 address which does not collide with other
19. Why do different IP networks need to be assigned to different ports of a router?

Since the router is in charge of bridging the gap between two networks that are using various Internet protocols
20. If this simulation was configured with IPv6 instead of IPv4, what would be different?
IPv6 addresses would take the place of IPv4 addresses.
