What This Document Is
This is the third capstone assignment for Module Eight of CSIA 210: Network Protocol Analysis at Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana. It requires students to configure display filters within a packet analysis tool (likely Wireshark, based on the screenshots) to identify network traffic associated with specific applications.
Why This Document Matters
This assignment is for students enrolled in the course. It’s used to practice and demonstrate proficiency in applying display filters – a crucial skill for network analysts who need to isolate and examine specific types of network communication. Successful completion contributes to the overall course grade.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document is a practical exercise and does *not* provide foundational instruction on network protocols or display filter syntax. Students are expected to already understand these concepts. It also doesn’t offer troubleshooting assistance if filters don’t function as expected.
What This Document Provides
The assignment details the specific application packets students must locate using display filters: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6 (DHCP v6). Screenshots of packet captures are included as examples, showing the appearance of DHCP and DHCPv6 traffic within the packet analysis tool. The document outlines the task but does *not* provide the filters themselves, nor does it offer guidance on how to build them.
