Did computer6 receive the ARP Request? (Y/N)

N

Send a packet with the following:

  • From computer4
  • To computer4 (to indicate it is broadcast)

N

We will be sending broadcast ARP Requests packets with the following options:

  • From computer1
  • To computer1 (to indicate it is broadcast)
  • Packet Type: “ARP Request”
  • Data: try all the possible eight devices (other than computer1) in the network: computer2, computer3, computer4, computer5, computer6, switch1, switch2, and router.

How many devices are you able to discover using ARP requests?
