In this lab we used the ping tool and wireshark to observe what happens when you ping a device on the same lan and one not on the lan.
Summary of understanding:
I had no issues while completing this lab
I: Observe a simple capture - Ping the Default Gateway:
Record: What are the source and destination MAC addresses (Not IP Addresses)
Record: What are the source and destination MAC addresses
Question: What is the MAC address of your workstation's NIC? What is the MAC address of the Default Gateway Router interface (NIC)?
Default gateway mac:
bc:24:11:44:b7:c4
Workstation NIC:
bc:24:11:d4:5d:dc
II. Observe a simple capture - Ping outside LAN IP addresses:
Repeat the Wireshark capture of a ping - but this time use www.timeslive.co.za as the destination address.
What is the first IPv4 IP address from the site?
23.201.56.20
Record: What are the source and destination MAC addresses
Answer: Compare the source/destination MAC address with the MAC addresses captured above. Are they the same or different? Discuss why they are the same or different.
They are the same because it is still talking to the default gateway not the server directly.
