How does the NIC of a receiving PC use the destination MAC address?

The receiving NIC must check that the destination MAC of a frame is the same as the MAC of the receiving NIC. If it isn't, the NIC isn't the intended destination, and it will just ignore the frame (unless it is set to "promiscuous mode", in which case it will accept all frames).

∙ 6y agoAt the Data-Link layer, the NIC (Network Interface Card) checks if the destination MAC address matches it's own so that it knows if the frame is addressed to itself and accepts and process the packet, or if it is meant for another NIC and it will ignore the packet

Which address does an NIC use when deciding whether to accept a frame?
Destination MAC address
What security advantage occurs from Packaet's containing the source NIC address and not just the destination NIC address?
The message must travel from your computer to your router. Every computer connected to a network has a network interface card (NIC) with a unique physical address, called a MAC address (for Media Access Control). At the data link level, two more headers are added, one for your computer's NIC address (the source MAC) and one for your router's NIC address. A data link layer structure with destination MAC, source MAC, and data is called a frame. Every NIC selects from the network those frames with its own address as a destination address. The data link layer adds the structure necessary for data to get from your computer to another computer (a router is just a dedicated computer) on your network. Data Link Layer Transformation.
What is the physical address (the MAC address) of the NIC (or network adapter) for this connection?
•What is the physical address (the MAC address) of the NIC (or network adapter) for this connection?
Where is the Mac address stored?
MAC address stored in NIC card
What will a host on an Ethernet network do if it receives a frame with a destination MAC address that does not match its own MAC address?
On a hub network:The host (PC-A) computer sends the frame out its Network Interface Card (NIC) to Fast-Ethernet 0/1 (F0/1) on the HUB. The HUB then sends that frame out every interface (except incoming interface). If the destination MAC address is aaa.bbb.ccc, and PC-B has MAC address aaa.aaa.bbb, then PC-B's NIC will ignore the frame and nothing else will happen.
What component of the computer provides it with a MAC address?
NIC
What is a Mac address and what is the bit size of a Mac address in a nic?
MAC bit size is 16 digits. but MAC bit is 48 each.
Which device uses mac address table to send data from the input port to the port that connects to the destination device?
You seem to be referring to a NIC (Network interface card).
If you are connected to LAN what is the MAC address of the NIC?
Doesn't matter if your connected to a LAN or not. The MAC address is hard coded into the NIC and does not change unless software on the computer requires that it changes.
The built-in identifying address coded into the NIC by the manufacturers is called what?
Mac address
Which address does a nic use when whether to accept frame?
Source MAC address
What is the command used to find the MAC address of the NIC?
ipconfig
