Dissecting Switching Protocols in Wireshark

Download and install Wireshark. Alternatively, you may use https://www.cloudshark.org/ (you may need to create an account).

Open up the Switches packet capture (.pcap) file. Compare and contrast the SWITCH, ARP, and VLAN protocols seen in the .pcap.

  • What does ARP primarily do on the network? How is this related to switches?

  • What are some of the VLAN ID’s found in the .pcap?

  • Examine the STP traffic. What are some of the priorities associated with the root bridges?

  • What packet number did you find that information in?
