Q2: Explain in your own words what is happening when SalesWest1 tries to ping SalesEast.

  • SalesWest1 checks if the IP of SalesWest1 and SalesEast are in the same network, by checking if their network IDs (which can be found by bitwise ANDing the IP address and netmask) are the same
  • SalesWest1 finds the MAC address of the default gateway in it's ARP table, and sends a packet with the destination IP to that MAC address
  • Switch0 receives the packet and finds the port the MAC address is connected to in its CAM table, and forwards the packet through that port
  • West Router receives the packet and searches its routing table for a network that includes the destination IP, and fails

Q3: Take a screenshot of a successful ping between SalesWest1 and SalesEast, and include it with your submission. (1 point)
