Reflection Questions

Answer the following questions regarding the captured data:

$1.$ Were there different types of cables$/$media used to connect devices?

$2.$ Did the cables change the handling of the PDU in any way?

$3.$ Did the Hub lose any of the information that it received?

$4.$ What does the Hub do with MAC addresses and IP addresses?

$5.$ Did the wireless Access Point do anything with the information given to it$?$

$6.$ Was any MAC or IP address lost during the wireless transfer?

$7.$ What was the highest OSI layer that the Hub and Access Point used?

$8.$ Did the Hub or Access Point ever replicate a PDU that was rejected with a red $$X$?$

$9.$ When examining the PDU Details tab, which MAC address appeared first, the source or the destination?

$10.$ Why would the MAC addresses appear in this order?

$11.$ Was there a pattern to the MAC addressing in the simulation?

$12.$ Did the switches ever replicate a PDU that was rejected with a red $$X$?$

$13.$ Every time that the PDU was sent between the $10$ network and the $172$ network, there was a point where the MAC addresses suddenly changed. Where did that occur?

$14.$ Which device uses MAC addresses that start with $00$D$0$:BA$?$

$15.$ What devices did the other MAC addresses belong to$?$

$16.$ Did the sending and receiving IPv$4$ addresses change fields in any of the PDUs?

$17.$ When you follow the reply to a ping, sometimes called a pong, do you see the sending and receiving IPv$4$ addresses switch?

$18.$ What is the pattern to the IPv$4$ addressing used in this simulation?

$19.$ Why do different IP networks need to be assigned to different ports of a router?

$20.$ If this simulation was configured with IPv$6$ instead of IPv$4,$ what would be different?
