HPE7-A02 Exam - Topic 1 Question 6 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A02 exam
Question #: 6
Topic #: 1
[All HPE7-A02 Questions]

Refer to the exhibit.

The exhibit shows a saved packet capture, which you have opened in Wireshark. You want to focus on the complete conversation between 10.1.70.90 and 10.1.79.11 that uses source port 5448.

What is a simple way to do this in Wireshark?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Wireshark: Follow TCP Stream:

Wireshark provides an intuitive feature to filter and display a complete TCP conversation.

By right-clicking any packet within the conversation and selecting 'Follow TCP Stream', Wireshark isolates and displays the entire conversation.

This feature allows you to view the communication in a simplified, sequential manner, including requests and responses.

Option Analysis:

Option A: Incorrect. Capture filters only apply during packet capturing, not for analyzing already saved packet captures.

Option B: Incorrect. Sorting packets helps with organizing data but does not isolate a complete conversation.

Option C: Incorrect. A capture filter for TCP port 5448 would have to be applied before capturing; it does not work for saved data.

Option D: Correct. Right-clicking a packet and choosing 'Follow TCP Stream' is the simplest way to display the full conversation between 10.1.70.90 and 10.1.79.11 on port 5448.

Steps in Wireshark to Follow a TCP Stream:

Locate any packet within the desired conversation (e.g., between 10.1.70.90 and 10.1.79.11 on TCP port 5448).

Right-click on the packet.

Choose 'Follow' 'TCP Stream'.

Wireshark will display the entire TCP conversation, including both directions of communication.

This feature is especially useful when troubleshooting or analyzing detailed interactions between hosts.

Sorting by source and destination won't give you the full convo.

Applying a filter for TCP port 5448 sounds familiar, but I feel like we might miss some packets that way.

I remember practicing a question where we had to filter by IP addresses, but I can't recall if that's what we should do here.

I think we need to follow the stream option, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the simplest way.

I'm confident I can solve this. The question is clearly asking for a capture filter to select the specific IP addresses and port. I'll go with option A.

Okay, I think I've got this. The question is asking for a simple way to focus on the conversation between the two IP addresses using the specified source port. I'll go with option D and try to follow the stream.

This looks like a straightforward Wireshark question. I think the key is to focus on the specific details provided, like the IP addresses and source port.

Ah, Wireshark, the tool that turns network analysis into a game of 'Where's Waldo?' Option D is the clear choice for the lazy and efficient among us.

Option D is the winner here. It's like a magic trick - one click and poof, all the relevant packets appear! I bet the exam writers are just trying to distract us with those other options.
