Cisco Packet Tracer For Windows/Mac PC (Download Now) Just in case if you’re new to simulator software. Cisco Packet Tracer is one such useful software for simulating switches, routers for networking devices. Cisco software is literally expensive and only a few of them can spend that amount of money.

Packet Tracer – Identify MAC and IP Addresses

Cisco Packet tracer is one of the best network simulators. It allows you to run the Cisco Virtual appliance in it. All the virtual appliances i.e. Router, Switch, Firewall are embedded in it. Along with the Cisco devices, you can drag and drop many servers such as DNS, DHCP, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP. Unfortunately, there is no native Cisco Packet Tracer app for MAC. You have an option that pmckenzie mentioned, however, Wine will only run 32 bit version apps, which means you won't be able to use the latest PT 7 since it's only 64 bit. Hello, hope that you are are well and enjoying networking. Today I’m going to share Cisco Packet Tracer 7.2.1 for Mac OS. I have not shared Cisco Packet Tracer for Mac OS. But recently I noticed that cisco released its packet tracer 7.2.1 for Mac OS. The file extension is.dmg. I have uploaded it to google drive so that you can easily.

Objectives

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

Objectives

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.

Step 1: Gather PDU information as a packet travels from 172.16.31.5 to 172.16.31.2.

Click 172.16.31.5 and open the Command Prompt.

Enter the ping 172.16.31.2command.

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

Click the PDU and note the following information from the OSI Model and Outbound PDU Layer tabs:
- Destination MAC Address: 000C:85CC:1DA7
- Source MAC Address: 00D0:D311:C788
- Source IP Address: 172.16.31.5
- Destination IP Address: 172.16.31.2
- At Device: 172.16.31.5

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.

Return to Realtime mode.

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.

Click172.16.31.5 and open the Command Prompt.

Enter the ping 10.10.10.2command.

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

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

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 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
Switch1	00D0:BA8E:741A	00D0:D311:C788	N/A	N/A
Router	0060:2F84:4AB6	00D0:588C:2401	172.16.31.5	10.10.10.2
Switch0	0060:2F84:4AB6	00D0:588C:2401	N/A	N/A
Access Point	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
10.10.10.2	00D0:588C:2401	0060:2F84:4AB6	10.10.10.2	172.16.31.5

Reflection Questions

Answer the following questions regarding the captured data:

Were there different types of cables/media used to connect devices?
Yes: copper, fiber, and wireless
