Name: ANMOL DHIMAN STUDENT ID: N01496829 Communication Engineering IENG2530 Lab 01 Review Basic Switching and Routing Figure 2. Wireshark capture screen You only need to wait 30 seconds or may be less, there should be enough traffic for you to sample. At the top of Wireshark, you can see two lines of menu. Pls click on the red stop button on the 2 nd line. It is one button right of the ‘shark fin’ button. Upon clicking the stop button, the capture should stop and the screen scrolling should stop too. It will result in a static display as the one shown in Fig 2. Based on Figure 2, answer the following questions. What is the IP address of the computer Wireshark is running on? 10.110.25.106 (1 mark) List all the protocols as discovered by Wireshark
QUIC, UDP , TLSV1.2 , TCP, HTTP, SSDP, ARP (1 mark) 4
Communication Engineering IENG2530 Lab 01 Review Basic Switching and Routing In the time column, what do you think is the unit of time? The unit of time is in seconds. (1 mark) If you look at the length column, you will notice the numbers are not that large, why? The numbers are not large so that the protocol doesn’t get congested (1 mark) And what field/data had been blacked out from the figure? The source and destination addresses are blacked out. (1 mark) What are the possible reasons the above data was blacked out? It is blacked out due to privacy issue. (1 mark) Next exercise, we will try to capture more traffic. Please goto the top level menu and click on the ‘sharkfin’ button. Figure 3. You should see a window pop up asking you whether you want to save or continue without saving. In a real life scenario, you would need to decide on whether you need to save the capture at this point in time. If you decided to choose the ‘continue without saving’ option, the captured data will be lost. If you are in doubt, it is always good to use the save option. You can always go do the clean up of capture files later. In this lab, it is safe to click 5

Communication Engineering IENG2530 Lab 01 Review Basic Switching and Routing ‘continue without saving’ to continue. After that, you can see Wireshark starts a new capture. The screen will fill up and the lines start scrolling again. If you want to look at a packet, hoover your mouse over one particular line and click it. The scrolling should stop and the line you selected should stay on the screen. At this point, the capture seemed to have stopped because the screen is not scrolling anymore. No new data seemed to be coming in. However, if you look at the bottom right hand corner of Wireshark, you should see the packet count is still going up and the display count should still be going up as well. See Figure 4. Figure 4 Another way to stop the scrolling is to goto the right hand side scrolling bar, click on it and push it all the way up to the top. This will also stop the screen from scrolling. See Figure 5. Figure 5 6
Communication Engineering IENG2530 Lab 01 Review Basic Switching and Routing If you move the right hand side scrolling bar back to the bottom, the scrolling will come back because you are watching a live capture in action. See Figure 6. Figure 6 Next you can try viewing the statistics Wireshark collects for you. For example, you can click on ‘Statistics’ on the top menu bar. On the pull down menu, select ‘All Addresses’. You should see a large list of addresses in the pop up windows if your computer/laptop is collected to the internet. See Figure 7. Figure 7 7
Communication Engineering IENG2530 Lab 01 Review Basic Switching and Routing Based on Figure 7, a capture done by Wireshark running on a typical Microsoft Windows laptop. What do you think these 52.*.*.* addresses are going to? It connects to datacenter of Microsoft in Ontario region. (1 mark) Next I want you to try to do is to use the filter built into Wireshark. Filters are there to help you look for specific packets, specific protocols, specific source or destination IP addresses, etc.. It can save you a lot of time by not needing to page up and page down all the time to do the search with your eyes. Pls try to following filter function as shown in Figure 8. ip.addr == 192.x.x.x Figure 8 You can substitute any ip address in there and you can see the return result. What if you put an ip address that is not in the capture? If I put Ip address in the capture it does not show anything _____________________________________________________________________ (1 mark) 8
