Question: Determining Whether Your Computer Is Connected to a Hub or Switch Time Required: 15 minutes Objective: Use packet information captured with Wireshark to determine whether your computer is attached to the rest of the classroom with a hub or switch. Required Tools and Equipment: Net-XX Description: You saw the difference between hubs and switches in earlier projects. Specifically, you saw which packets Wireshark captured when your computer was connected to a hub versus a switch. In this challenge lab, set up a test, working with your classmates, to determine whether classroom computers are connected to a hub or switch. Write a short memo to your instructor with the following information:

• What filter options (if any) did you configure in Wireshark?

• What commands did you use to generate packets on the network?

• What IP addresses did you attempt to communicate with?

• What was your result? Is your computer attached to a hub or switch? Why did you come to this conclusion?
