Lab 3 2: Observing ARP in Packet Tracer - jude-lindale/Wiki GitHub Wiki

Tech Journal Summary In this Lab we were tasked with connecting 4 generic computers and a 2950-24 switch. We had to set the IP addresses for each of the computers and set the netmask to the same one for each computer. Then we had to enable the switch to use CLI and run commands.

Commands

• -a arp: this command shows the arp table entries Within the switch CLI
  • enable: this command puts CLI in admin mode
  • show mac-address-table: this command shows a table of the MAC addresses and the ports that the computers are connected to
