NETW360 Week 4 iLab: Observing 802.11 Frames Task 2: Beacon Frames 2. Record the basic information of the beacon frame below in the lab report document. Afterwards, shrink the header by clicking the – sign to its left. Type/Subtype of the frame: Beacon frame (0x08) Source MAC address: 00:23:69:4a:42 Destination MAC address: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3. Next expand the radiotap header by clicking the + sign to its left. Record the radio information of the beacon frame below in the lab report document. Afterwards, shrink the header by clicking the – sign to its left. Data rate: 1.0Mb/s Channel frequency: 2437 Channel type: 802.11b 4. Next expand the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN management frame section. Expand both the fixed parameters and tagged parameters subsections. Provide the following information in the lab report document. Afterwards, shrink the header by clicking the – sign to its left. Beacon Interval: 0.102400 seconds SSID: linksys Supported Rates: 1(B), 2(B), 5.5(B), 11(B), 18, 24, 36, 54 [Mbit/sec] 5. What type of address, unicast, multicast, or broadcast is a beacon frame’s destination MAC address? Why? Broadcast address, because that’s where 1’s get sent. 6. What’s the significance of increasing and decreasing the beacon interval, respectively, on a WLAN? Shorter updates more frequently, longer allows for conservation of system resources Task 3: Probe Frames 3. Expand the IEEE 802.11 probe request header by clicking the + sign to its left. Record the following information in the lab report. Afterwards, shrink the header by clicking the – sign to its left. Type/Subtype: Probe Request (0x04) Destination MAC address: (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) broadcast address again Source MAC Address: (00:25:9c:e2:7a:a3) 4. Expand the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN management frame header by clicking the + sign to its left. Record the
