c$.$ Click the Simulation button in the lower right corner of the Packet Tracer Topology window.

d$.$ Click the Show All$/$None button in the lower left part of the Simulation Panel. Make certain Event List Filters $$ Visible Events displays None.

e$.$ From the command prompt on PCA$1,$ issue the command ping $$n $12001$:db$8$:acad:$1$::b$.$ This will start the process of pinging PCA$2.$

f$.$ Click the Play Capture Forward button, which is displayed as an arrow pointing to the right with a vertical bar within the Play Controls box. The status bar above the Play Controls should read Captured to $150.($The exact number may vary.$)$

g$.$ Click the Edit Filters button. Select the IPv$6$ tab at the top and check the boxes for ICMPv$6$ and NDP$.$ Click the red X in the upper right of the Edit ACL Filters window. The captured events should now be listed. You should have approximately $12$ entries in the window.

Question:

Why are ND PDUs present?

h$.$ Click the square in the Type column for the first event, which should be ICMPv$6.$

Question:

Because the message starts with this event there is only an Outbound PDU. Under the OSI Model tab, what is the Message Type listed for ICMPv$6?$

Notice there is no Layer $2$ addressing. Click the Next Layer $>>$ button to get an explanation about the ND $($Neighbor Discovery$)$ process.

i$.$ Click the square next to the next event in the Simulation Panel. It should be at device PCA$1$ and the type should be NDP$.$

Questions:

What changed in the Layer $3$ addressing?

Type your answers here.

What Layer $2$ addresses are shown?

Type your answers here.

When a host does not know the MAC address of the destination, a special multicast MAC address is used by IPv$6$ Neighbor Discovery as the Layer $2$ destination address.

j$.$ Select the first NDP event at SwitchA.

Question:

Is there any difference between the In Layers and Out Layers for Layer $2?$
