Observing ARP in Packet Tracer - sullivaneg/TechJournal-NET150 GitHub Wiki

In this lab we set up a small network with PCs and a switch and examined the address table of the switch to show how ARP and ethernet work. I didn't run into any problems in this lab.

Some commands/tools in Packet Tracer I will probably use again.

  • If you move the mouse over a device you can see a bunch of information about the device such as MAC address and IP addresses if they are assigned.
  • If you go to the desktop command and type arp -a you can see the arp table
  • To assign IP address: Click on PC, go to Config Tab, then to a Fast ethernet port and you can put the IP address in.
  • In the switch if you want to enter admin mode you type enable.
  • In the switch if you type "show mac-address-table" you can see the Mac address table
There were no extra tech journal questions and I have nothing else to add.
