PT5328 - Examine the ARP Table


Addressing Table

Device Interface MAC Address Switch Interface

Gg0/0 0001.6458.2501 Switch0-G0/1


Router0
S0/0/0 N/A N/A
G0/0 00E0.F7B1.8901 Switch1-G0/1
Router1
S0/0/0 N/A N/A
10.10.10.2 Wireless 0060.2F84.4AB6 Switch0-F0/2
10.10.10.3 Wireless 0060.4706.572B Switch0-F0/2
172.16.31.2 F0 000C.85CC.1DA7 Switch1-F0/1
172.16.31.3 F0 0060.7036.2849 Switch1-F0/2
172.16.31.4 G0 0002.1640.8D75 Switch1-F0/3

Part 1: Examine a Switch MAC Address Table


a. Click Switch1, then the CLI tab. Enter the show mac-address-table command.
See that the entries correspond to those in the Addressing Table above.
b. Click Switch0, then the CLI tab. Enter the show mac-address-table command.
See that there are two MAC addresses associated with F0/2 as both devices connect to Switch0 via the
Access Point.

Part 2: Examine an ARP Request in Local Communication


a. Click 172.16.31.2 and open the Command Prompt.
b. Enter the arp -a to see that it is empty (enter the arp -d command to clear the ARP table).
c. Enter the ping 172.16.31.3 command.
d. Enter the arp -a to see that there is an entry for Internet Address 172.16.31.3 with Physical Address =
0060.7036.2849 in accordance with the Addressing Table above.
e. Enter the arp -d command to clear the ARP table.
f. Enter Simulation mode and enter the command ping 172.16.31.3. Two PDUs will be generated. The ping
command cannot complete the ICMP packet without knowing the MAC address of the destination. So the
computer sends an ARP broadcast frame to find the MAC address of the destination.

g. Click Capture/Forward once. The ARP PDU moves Switch1 while the ICMP PDU disappears, waiting for the
ARP reply. Open the PDU to see that destination MAC address = FFFF.FFFF.FFFF (In and Out).
Program/Class: Name:
h. Click Capture/Forward once. How many copies of the PDU did Switch1 send out ? _________________
What is the IP address of the device that accepted the PDU?____________________________________
i. Open the accepted PDU and examine Layer 2.

For the Out Layer PDU,


source MAC address = ______________________, destination MAC address = ______________________
j. Click Capture/Forward until the PDU returns to 172.16.31.2. How many copies of the PDU did the switch
make during the ARP reply? _____________________________________________________________
k. Note that the ICMP packet reappears. Open the PDU and see that the destination MAC address is filled.
l. Switch back to Realtime and the ping completes.

Part 3: Examine the ARP Process in Remote Communications


a. Click 172.16.31.2 and open the Command Prompt.
b. Enter the ping 10.10.10.1 command.
c. Type arp –a. What is the IP address of the new ARP table entry? ________________________________
d. Enter arp -d to clear the ARP table and switch to Simulation mode.
e. Repeat the ping to 10.10.10.1. How many PDUs appear? ______________________________________
(the ICMP PDU do not have the destination MAC address)
f. Click Capture/Forward. Click the ARP PDU that is now at Switch1.

What is the destination IP address of the ARP broadcast request? _______________________________


(for remote pinging, the source need to put down the MAC address of the default gateway in the frame that
contains the ICMP package)
g. Click Capture/Forward until the PDU returns to 172.16.31.2. Note that the ICMP packet reappears. Open the
PDU and see that the destination MAC address is filled.
h. Switch back to Realtime and the ping completes.
