Explanation of Solution

Figure 6.33:

The “Figure 6.33” contains:

  • Two routers.
  • Three switches (LAN).
  • Three subnets.
    • Each subnet contains two host computers.
    • Subnet 1 contains two hosts named “A” and “B”. Both the two hosts are connected through a same switch.
    • Subnet 2 contains two hosts named “C” and “D”. Both the two hosts are connected through a same switch.
    • Subnet 3 contains two hosts named “E” and “F”. Both the two hosts are connected through a same switch.

Assigning IP and MAC addresses:

Given:

Consider that Host A sends a datagram to the Host F.

To find:

  • MAC address (source and destination), source address and destination address from the host A to the left router.
  • MAC address (source and destination), source address and destination address from the left router to the right router.
  • MAC address (source and destination), source address and destination address from the right router to F.

Solution:

The source and destination address will not change as it is constant.

From the above figure; MAC address, source address and destination address from the host A to the switch...
