Tracing Ping Requests Through Hubs, Switches

Diagram: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZxFWd.png

Am I correct in my assumptions:

  • If PC1 pings PC3, PC1, PC3, PC4 and PC5 would see the ping request but only PC3 would respond
  • IF PC4 sends a ping request to PC5, then PC4 and PC5 would see the ping request but only PC5 would respond
  • If PC2 sends a ping request to PC5, PC2, PC3, PC4 and PC5 would see the ping request but only PC5 would respond
  • If PC 1 sends a ping request to PC3, then PC1 and PC3 would see the ping request but only PC3 would respond
  • If PC2 pings PC5 then PC2, PC3, PC4, PC5 would see the ping request but only PC5 would respond

and

  • In all the above ping requests, the ARM would be seen by all computers on the network

Though I tried to set up two virtual machines to be able to test this, I haven't had the chance to do so due to an error with the networking interface I'm trying to configure, but need to understand these for an exam.

Thanks
