aWhy do you think it is important to use a network protocol

a)Why do you think it is important to use a network protocol analyzer like Wireshark in order to analyze the network?

b)What is a broadcast network address and why it is used on a network?

c)What different kinds of protocols were identified on your network? Identify their purpose. Which layer of the OSI model do these protocols operate on?

d)What implications were you able to draw from Hands-On Project 1-4 on exploring basic packets and statistics? Did you find any interesting results?

                               1.Hands-On Project 1-1 :Install Wireshark

                               2.Hands-On Project 1-2: Start Wireshark

                               3.Hands-On Project 1-3: Capture Basic Packets

Solution

Qa)  it is important to use a network protocol analyzer like Wireshark in order to analyze the network because

Qb)Broadcast network address : It is an Internet Protocol (IP) address which is used to transmit messages and data packets over the network system. Network admins verify the successful data packet transmission
through broadcast addresses.

it is used on a network because:

Qc) Different kinds of protocols are as follows:

Ethernet

Local Talk

Token Ring

FDDI

ATM

Different protocols operate at the different layers of the OSI model. Each layer of the OSI model has its own protocols.
