Task 2

A. The modern enterprise IT team faces a seemingly impossible task. More and more, IT leaders are under pressure to dramatically increase agility, maximize workforce productivity, eliminate any security threats, and address every compliance requirement-all while cutting costs. That's why IT leaders are moving away from all-or-nothing approaches to the cloud and embracing hybrid network models. With a hybrid network that mixes the best aspects of on-premises, public cloud, and private cloud infrastructure, you can find the balance between agility, cost efficiency, and security.

As Network administrator analyze the challenges in managing and monitor the hybrid networks by analyzing two research papers.

Task 3

As a network administrator for one company, you are responsible for end to end performance monitoring, troubleshooting the errors in real time and ensuring the availability of the network resources.

Wireshark is an essential tool for network administrators as well as security professionals that can provide network traffic analysis and helps to detect quickly common issues such as : malicious activities, latency,... In this context, you are required to complete the following tasks using wireshark:

1. Establish an HTTP connection and detect the HTTP traffic generated (get, response) and analyze the different layers encapsulated in the captured frame.

2. Generate ARP traffic. Detect the ARP broadcast and reply and analyze the different layers encapsulated in the captured frame.

3. Using appropriate filters, detect all the ICMP traffic that is being generated by one specific IP address (that you know it is active in the network).

4. Display the statistics of the captured traffic and provide clear explanations on its content.
