Tech Journal Questions

How did you find the Ethernet interface to use for Wireshark?

  • When I used the command ipconfig/all I looked for the Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi I saw that I had an active IPv4 Address which was the port receiving and sending the itcp packets

Did you use any filters to find your ping packets?

  • yes in Wireshark I used itcp to find the ping packets

Where did you find the MAC addresses within the network packets?

  • Found the MAC addresses under Ethernet II where the destination and source were right in that category

Include any other commands you used, issues you encountered, and troubleshooting steps you took.

  • ipconfig/all
