Lab 4‐2 ‐ Simple Routing Lab - rune-seregina/net-150-sp24 GitHub Wiki

What was this lab's objective?

In this lab, I experimented with default gateways and setting IP addresses on different interfaces of a multilayer switch to understand (some of) the importance and application of routing.

How do you set the gateway address on a workstation in Packet Tracer?

Select device > Config > Settings > enter address within "Gateway"

How do you set the IP and subnet mask on different interfaces of a multilayer switch?

Select switch > Config > FastEthernet0/x > input address under IP Configuration

How do you enter simulation mode in Packet Tracer?

Click "Simulation" (bottom right corner) > Show all/none > Edit filters > Choose protocol

How do you set which types of packets you want to see in Simulation Mode?

See above

SUBMIT screenshots of a successful ping between PC0 and PC1 (2 points) and a successful ping between PC0 and PC2 (2 points)

What is the Source and Destination MAC address of the packet as it arrives at the switch? (1 point) SCREEN CAPTURE

Source MAC address: 000B.BE907E62 >> Destination MAC address: 00E0.A3EB.0E01

What is the Source and Destination MAC address of the packet as it leaves the switch? (1 point) SCREEN CAPTURE

Source MAC address: 00E0.A3EB.0E01 >> Destination MAC address: 0060.3E0D.65A0

Why does the Destination MAC of the packet arriving at the switch match the Source MAC of the packet leaving the switch? (3 point)

The destination MAC address is the address of the switch, the recipient of the packet, while the source MAC address of the packet leaving the switch is the same device (so, same MAC address), the sender of the packet.
