Laboratory Work Sheet -II
1. Objective:
At the end of this laboratory session students will be:
• To understand the various application layer protocol headers.
2. Pre-requisite:
a) Basic Networking Knowledge
b) Knowledge of TCP/IP protocol stack
c) Understanding of Networking Protocols
d) Knowledge of IPv4 and IPv6 addressing,
3. Important Instructions:
a. Experiment should be conducted on the BITS Nuvepro Cloud laboratory only.
Experiments conducted outside this laboratory platform will not be evaluated.
b. Instructions on how to access and use the Nuvepro Cloud lab platform is
available in the document “Steps to access cloud based CS/IS virtual [Link]”.
c. While using the Nuvepro Cloud, save all your work in Persistent folder which
is available on the desktop.
d. Completed worksheet should be uploaded in Taxila (e-learn) portal only. Last
date for uploading the document is <31-05-2024>.
e. This laboratory activity carries < weightage in percentage> of weightage
f. Refrain from copying or sharing documents with others. Any evidence of such
practice will attract severe penalty.
g. Any queries related to LAB Activities should be sent to <srikanthp@[Link]-
[Link] > and [Link]@[Link]

4. Lab Exercise:
Open the file “[Link]” in Wireshark application and perform the
following exercises and record the observations with screenshots.
1. Filter the packets based on the following protocol and record your observations as
stated for each protocol also understand the significance of each protocol.
a. DNS
i. Identify the packets containing query at least for 2 domain names
ii. Identify the IP address of Source and Destination of the DNS packets
for the domain name you have chosen above.
iii. Identify the Flag values from the DNS packet for DNS query and
response message.
b. HTTP
i. Select HTTP protocol, identify HTTP version.
ii. Identify the value of the status code in the HTTP response message
and what does it signifies?
c. DHCP
i. Select DHCP packet and identify IP address of the DHCP sever.
ii. What is the “Your (client) IP address” in DHCP Discover, DHCP
Offer, DHCP Request and DHCP ACK packet.
d. SNMP
i. Identify SNMP protocol version.
ii. Select SNMP get-request and corresponding get-response message,
identify the values for var-binds and object name in each of the
message.
iii. Repeat the above for get-next-request and corresponding get-response
message.
2. Observe how the lower layer headers – transport, network and link layers – get added
to the application layer data before it finally goes out on the wire and understand their
significance.

Submission guidelines:
The student should be instructed to take a snapshot of the screen to showcase their usage
of the Nuvepro lab portal along with the required codebase and other needed information.
