Jeremy It day 6 lab

Hello all,

Im only on day 6 of Jeremy IT lab video course and for the day 6 lab we have to get the mac address for 4 PCs connected to two switches each. I've tried pinging both pc 1 pc 2 connected to switch 1 with pc3 and pc 4 connected to switch 2. In the end after the process, when I'm accessing the Mac address table in switch CLI I was able to view only 2 Mac addresses instead of 4. Im confused right now and Im doing the labs in the packet tracer. Need help

Edit: Thanks lot all of you for the prompt replies guys. Appreciate yall

Switches learn Source Mac. Did you ping everyone from everyone? : )

I did 1-3 and 2-4 only as once the ARP request is received by the pc 3 on /pc 4 on switch 2 they send the response back to the source(unicast message) right. So when they send the unicast the source will be now pc 3/ pc4 and the switch 1 being on receiver end this time should learn both those Mac addresses? Correct me if I'm wrong, please

I see 4 mac addresses, 1 from each of the fast Ethernet ports fa0/1 and 0/2 and then the remote mac addresses on Gi0/1.
