EC312 PS27 - Solutions

The document contains solutions to homework problems about networking concepts. [1] To redirect all traffic for 192.168.14.10, the solution is to change the MAC address in the ARP table. [2] ARP request packets use all zeros for the destination hardware address because the sender does not yet know the destination address. [3] Broadcast addresses are used so packets will be received by the intended recipient even if the exact hardware address is unknown.

EC312 Homework 27

Name: ____SOLUTIONS_______________

1. Given the following ARP table, make the necessary change(s) to cause all Ethernet traffic destined for
192.168.14.10 to flow to you (192.168.14.13) instead?

IP MAC
192.168.14.8 AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
192.168.14.9 AA:BB:AA:BB:AA:BB
192.168.14.10 A4:B5:C6:D7:E8:F9
192.168.14.12 EE:FF: EE:FF:EE:FF
192.168.14.13 A4:B5:C6:D7:E8:F9
192.168.14.21 C6:D7:C6:D7:C6:D7
192.168.14.25 E8:F9: E8:F9:E8:F9

2. Why is the destination hardware address all 0s in the ARP request message?

Because when a request is made, the sender does not know the destinations hardware address
yet. This destination hardware address of all 0s is part of the ARP request packet. It
should not be confused with the datalink layer Ethernet frame which has a destination
hardware address of all fs (broadcast address).

3. Why is the destination hardware address of the frame from A to B a broadcast address?

The frame uses a broadcast address so that the intended recipient on the network will receive the
frame even though the sender does not know the specific hardware address of the
intended recipient.
4. To acquire an IP address, the sourec address is 0.0.0.0 and the destination address is 255.255.255.255.

5. Combine the following three blocks of addresses into a single block:


a. 16.27.24.0/26 - 00010000.00011011.00011000.00|000000
Range – 16.27.24.0 to 16.27.24.63
b. 16.27.24.64/26 - 00010000.00011011.00011000.01|000000
Range – 16.27.24.64 to 16.27.24.127
c. 16.27.24.128/25 - 00010000.00011011.00011000.1|0000000
Range – 16.27.24.128 to 16.27.24.255
Total Range - 16.27.24.0 to 16.27.24.255
Combined: 16.27.24.0/24
6. Can router R1 in figure below receive a packet with destination address 140.24.7.194?
What will happen to the packet if this occurs?

It can receive a packet with a destination address 140.24.7.194 from Organization 1, 2, or 3. It


will route the packet through interface, m3, to router R2.

7. Assume router R2 above has fixed its routing table to have longest mask matching below, and it receives
a packet with destination address 140.24.7.42. How is the packet routed to its final destination?

Router R2 will compare the destination address with its forwarding table. Using the mask, R2
determines if the destination address is part of the 140.24.7.192 network. It is not. R2
compares the destination address with the 140.24.7.0 network. It is part of this
network. R2 will forward the packet to R1 via interface m0. When R1 receives the
packet, it will use its forwarding table similar to R2, starting at the top and working
its way down. In this case, the packet is destined for an IP address that is part of the
network 140.24.7.0. R1 will send to packet to the appropriate host in Organization 1 via
interface m0.
8. Construct the routing table for router RB in the picture shown below.

Network address/mask Next-hop address Interface


2.2.2.4/30 ----- m0
4.4.4.40/29 ----- m1
3.3.3.32/27 ----- m2
0.0.0.0/0 default router (none given in
this problem)
