Introduction to the course author, the course content, and how to download WiresharkTM and display packets.
Explore how Zigbee beacons advertise a network's topology in Wireshark, identifying the coordinator, routers, and end devices, and distinguish data frames from network-layer command frames.
Explore the Zigbee network layer using Wireshark, focusing on short addressing at both the link and network layers, frame types, and the radius TTL mechanism for data and command frames.
Explore zigbee network layer routing, comparing star, mesh, and tree topologies, and examine many-to-one and source routing, route discovery, and route records in a pro mesh environment.
Explore the Zigbee network layer via reference slides on route discovery and routing tables, with 16-bit addresses, many-to-one, source routing, and link quality.
Zigbee is the dominant protocol being used in sensor networks in our homes and enterprise organizations. If you are working in the Internet of Things (IoT) space, then you need to have an understanding of what Zigbee is and how it works.
The best way to get an in depth understanding of network protocols, such as Zigbee, without spending hours reading technical books and specifications, is to actually look at the traffic that is traversing the network.
In this course you will download and look at Zigbee packet captures in the open source packet capture tool called WiresharkTM. No prior working knowledge of Wireshark is required.
The video is a just over hour long. However, it is recommended that you allow 2 hours to take this course, so that you may follow along with the Wireshark analysis.
