9.1.3 Packet Tracer - Identify MAC and IP Addresses

This document provides instructions for using Packet Tracer to identify MAC and IP addresses as packets travel between local and remote networks. The objectives are to gather PDU information and answer reflection questions. Students will capture packets at each device to record the source and destination MAC and IP addresses. This will show how packets are forwarded through switches, hubs, routers, and wireless access points between the 172.16.31.0/24 and 10.10.10.0/24 networks. Key findings are that routers change the MAC addresses when routing between networks, and switches forward frames based on destination MAC addresses.

Packet Tracer - Identify MAC and IP Addresses

Objectives
Part 1: Gather PDU Information for Local Network Communication
Part 2: Gather PDU Information for Remote Network Communication

Background
This activity is optimized for viewing PDUs. The devices are already configured. You will gather PDU
information in simulation mode and answer a series of questions about the data you collect.

Instructions

Part 1: Gather PDU Information for Local Network Communication


Note: Review the Reflection Questions in Part 3 before proceeding with Part 1. It will give you an idea of the
type of information you will need to gather PDU information as a packet travels from 172.16.31.5 to
172.16.31.2.
a. Click 172.16.31.5 and open the Command Prompt.
b. Enter the ping 172.16.31.2 command.

c. Switch to simulation mode and repeat the ping 172.16.31.2 command. A PDU appears next to
172.16.31.5.

d. Click the PDU and note the following information from the OSI Model and Outbound PDU Layer tabs:
o Destination MAC Address:000C:85CC:1DA7
o Source MAC Address: 00D0:D311:C788

o Source IP Address: 172.16.31.5


o Destination IP Address: 172.16.31.2
o At Device: 172.16.31.5
2013 - 2021 Public Page 1 of 7 www.netacad.com
e. Click Capture / Forward (the right arrow followed by a vertical bar) to move the PDU to the next
device. Gather the same information from Step 1d. Repeat this process until the PDU reaches its
destination. Record the PDU information you gathered into a spreadsheet using a format like the table
shown below:

Example Spreadsheet Format

At Device Dest. MAC Src MAC Src IPv4 Dest IPv4

172.16.31.5 000C:85CC:1DA7 00D0:D311:C788 172.16.31.5 172.16.31.2

Switch1 000C:85CC:1DA7 00D0:D311:C788 N/A N/A

Hub N/A N/A N/A N/A

172.16.31.2 00D0:D311:C788 000C:85CC:1DA7 172.16.31.2 172.16.31.5

Step 2: Gather additional PDU information from other pings.
Repeat the process in Step 1 and gather the information for the following tests:
• Ping 172.16.31.2 from 172.16.31.3.

• Ping 172.16.31.4 from 172.16.31.5.

Part 2: Gather PDU Information for Remote Network Communication
In order to communicate with remote networks, a gateway device is necessary. Study the process that takes
place to communicate with devices on the remote network. Pay close attention to the MAC addresses used.
Step 1: Gather PDU information as a packet travels from 172.16.31.5 to 10.10.10.2.
a. Click 172.16.31.5 and open the Command Prompt.

b. Enter the ping 10.10.10.2 command.


c. Switch to simulation mode and repeat the ping 10.10.10.2 command. A PDU appears next to
172.16.31.5.

d. Click the PDU and note the following information from the Outbound PDU Layer tab:
• Destination MAC Address: 00D0:BA8E:741A
• Source MAC Address: 00D0:D311:C788
• Source IP Address: 172.16.31.5
• Destination IP Address: 10.10.10.2 At Device: 172.16.31.5

Question:
What device has the destination MAC that is shown?
The router

e. Click Capture / Forward (the right arrow followed by a vertical bar) to move the PDU to the next
device. Gather the same information from Step 1d. Repeat this process until the PDU reaches its
2013 - 2021 Public Page 5 of 7 www.netacad.com
destination. Record the PDU information you gathered from pinging 172.16.31.5 to 10.10.10.2 into a
spreadsheet using a format like the sample table shown below:

At Device Dest. MAC Src MAC Src IPv4 Dest IPv4

172.16.31.5 00D0:BA8E:741A 00D0:D311:C788 172.16.31.5 10.10.10.2
