And if you are interested in some more pcap files on my site follow the pcap tag. (In two upcoming posts I will first list many show commands from the routers/switches in the lab that are related to the CCNP SWITCH protocols, while in a third one I will show all answers to the proposed questions here with appropriate Wireshark screenshots. On some switches the SDM template must be changed to be IPv6 capable such as Of course I am running my lab fully dual-stacked, i.e., with IPv6 and legacy IP. Feel free to download the pcap and to test your protocol skills with Wireshark! Use the comment section below for posting your answers. I am further listing 46 CHALLENGES as an exercise for the reader. In this blogpost I am publishing the captured pcap file with all of these 22 protocols.

Oh oh, I remember the good old times where I merely used unmanaged layer 2 switches. And because “ PCAP or it didn’t happen” I captured 22 of these protocols to further investigate them with Wireshark. While preparing for my CCNP SWITCH exam I built a laboratory with 4 switches, 3 routers and 2 workstations in order to test almost all layer 2/3 protocols that are related to network management traffic.
