Summary

In the lab we worked with Wireshark. We began by capturing and pinging the default gateway. While inspecting the results on Wireshark, we look at the ICMP ping request and ICMP ping response.

Helpful Info

You can find the Ethernet interface to use for Wireshark by doing ipconfig /all in the command prompt. Match the IP address to the one in the interface.

To find your ping packets you can use the filter icmp.

When you click on the ping packet it will show you in the bottom box the source and destination MAC addresses.
