This simulation activity is intended to help you understand the flow of traffic and the contents of data packets
as they traverse a complex network. Communications will be examined at three different locations simulating
typical business and home networks.
Take a few moments to study the topology displayed. The Central location has three routers and multiple
networks possibly representing different buildings within a campus. The Branch location has only one router
with a connection to both the Internet and a dedicated wide-area network (!"# connection to the Central

location. The +ome ,ffice makes use of a cable modem broadband connection to provide access to both the
Internet and to corporate resources over the Internet.
The devices at each location use a combination of static and dynamic addressing. The devices are configured
with default gateways and -omain "ame .ystem (-".# information/ as appropriate.
Part 1: Examine Internetwork Traffic at ranc!
In *art ' of this activity/ you will use .imulation mode to generate web traffic and examine the +TT* protocol
along with other protocols necessary for communications.
(tep 1: (witc!ing from )ealtime to (im%lation mo&e*
a. Click the (im%lation mode icon to switch from )ealtime mode to (im%lation mode.
b. 0erify that +)P, -N(, .TTP/ and T#P are selected from the Event /ist 0ilters.
c. 1ove the slider located below the Play #ontrols buttons (ack/ +%to #apt%re)Play/ #apt%re)0orwar&#
all the way to the right.
(tep ": 1enerate traffic %sing a web browser*
Currently the .imulation *anel is empty. In the 2vent 3ist at the top of the .imulation *anel there are six
columns listed across the heading. !s traffic is generated and stepped through/ events display in the list. The
Info column is used to inspect the contents of a particular event.
Note4 The panel to the left of the .imulation *anel displays the topology. 5se the scrollbars to bring the
Branch location into the panel/ if necessary. The panels can be ad6usted in si7e by hovering next to the
scrollbar and dragging left or right.

*anel. hat is the first type of event listed9
The first type of the event listed is -".
d. Click the -N( info box. In the O%t /ayers/ -". is listed for 3ayer :. 3ayer ; is using 5-* to contact the
-". server on port <( (-st Port:#. Both the source and destination I* addresses are listed. hat
information is missing to communicate with the -". server9
The information missing to communicate with the -". server is the layer %.
e. Click +%to #apt%re3Play. In approximately ;< seconds/ a window displays/ indicating the completion of
the current simulation. Click the 4iew Previo%s Events button. .croll back to the top of the list and note
the number of +)P events. 3ooking at the -evice column in 2vent list/ how many of the devices in the
Branch location does the +)P re=uest pass through9
The !8* re=uest pass through '>; times branch locations.
f. .croll down the events in the list to the series of -N( events. .elect the -N( event that has the ?!t
-evice@ listed as ranc!(erver. Click the s=uare box in the Info column. hat can be determined by
selecting 3ayer : in the O(I 5o&el9 (3ook at the results displayed directly below In /ayers*#
There is noting to be determined.
g. Click the O%tbo%n& P-6 -etails tab. .croll to the bottom of the window and locate the -". !nswer

h. The next several events are T#P events enabling a communications channel to be established. .elect
the last T#P event at device (ales 6ust prior to the .TTP event. Click the colored s=uare Info box to
display the *-5 information. +ighlight 3ayer ; in the In /ayers column. 3ooking at item > in the list
directly below the In /ayers column/ what is the connection state9
The connection state is that it will connect to the next layers.
i. The next several events are .TTP events. .elect any one of the .TTP events at an intermediary device
(I* *hone or .witch#. +ow many layers are active at one of these devices/ and why9
There are ; layers active 3ayers '/ %/ (/ ;/ and : because internet connection can be accessible in
phones.
6. .elect the last .TTP event at the .ales *C. .elect the uppermost layer from the O(I 5o&el tab. hat is
the result listed below the In /ayers column9
In layer 1 4 '. Aast2thernet& receives the frame.
In layer ": '. The frameBs destination 1!C address matches the receiving portBs 1!C address/ the
broadcast address/ or a multicast address.
In layer $: '. The packetBs destination I* address matches the deviceBs I* address or the broadcast
address. The device de-encapsulates the packet.
In layer 7 4 '. The device receives a TC* *5.+C!CD segment on the connection to ':%.'>.&.( on port
E&.
In layer 8 4 '. The +TT* client receives a +TT* reply from the server. It displays the page in the web
browser.
Part ": Examine Internetwork Traffic to #entral
In *art % of this activity/ you will use *acket Tracer (*T# .imulation mode to view and examine how traffic
leaving the local network is handled.
(tep 1: (et %p for traffic capt%re to t!e #entral web server*
a. Close any open *-5 Information windows.
b. Click )eset (im%lation (located near the middle of the .imulation *anel#.
c. Type !ttp:33centralserver*pt*pta in the web browser of the .ales *C.
d. Click +%to #apt%re3PlayF in approximately :< seconds/ a window displays/ indicating the completion of
the current simulation. Click 4iew Previo%s Events. .croll back to the top of the listF note that the first
series of events are -N( and there are no +)P entries prior to contacting the ranc!(erver. Based on
what you have learned so far/ why is this the case9
I have learned that -". are not allowing access to the !8* to the Branch .erver.
e. Click the last -". event in the Info column. .elect /ayer 8 in the O(I 5o&el tab.
By looking at the information provided/ what can be determined about the -". results9
The -". client sends a -". =uery to the -". server.
f. Click the Inbo%n& P-6 -etails tab. .croll down to the -N( +N(2E) section. hat is the address listed

what device is providing the !8* reply9
The device providing the !8* reply is for 1!C
h. The next several events are T#P events/ once again preparing to set up a communications channel. Aind

event at device Intranet. hat is the 3ayer % listed at this device9
'. The next-hop I* address is a unicast. The !8* process looks it up in the !8* table.
%. The next-hop I* address is in the !8* table. The !8* process sets the frameBs destination 1!C
address to the one found in the table.
(. The device encapsulates the *-5 into an 2thernet frame.
"otice that there are only two active layers/ as opposed to three active layers when moving through the
router. This is a !" connection/ which will be discussed in a later course.

the current simulation. Click 4iew Previo%s Events. .croll back to the top of the listF notice that the first
series of events are -N(. hat do you notice about the number of -N( events9
The number of -". events starts at the set of < or even during the process.
d. ,bserve some of the devices that the -N( events travel through on the way to a -". server. here are
these devices located9
These devices are located directly on the message.
e. Click the last -N( event. Click the Inbo%n& P-6 -etails tab and scroll down to the last -". !nswer
section. hat is the address listed for www*netaca&*pta9

f. hen routers move the .TTP event through the network/ there are three layers active in both the In
/ayers and O%t /ayers in the O(I 5o&el tab. Based on that information/ how many routers are passed
through9
There are ; I* address. % rounters that passed through.
g. Click the T#P event 6ust prior to the last .TTP event. Based on the information displayed/ what is the
purpose of this event9
The purpose of this event is to send message to the I* address %'>.';>.;>.''
