1.
To perform the control of access to media.
2.
It performs the unique addressing to stations directly connected to LAN.
3.
Detection of error.
What are two primary responsibilities of the Ethernet MAC sublayer? (Choose two.)
MAC sublayer is located at Data link layer.
No, frame delimiting is a primary responsibility of the Logical Link Control sublayer of the Data Link Layer.. Data link layer exists of 2 sublayers; Media Acces control Sublayer (MAC) & Logical Link Control sublayer (LLC)
LLC (Logical Link Control) sublayer - The LLC provides a common interface and supplies reliability andflow control services.Hope this helps,A. York
MAC
* MAC sublayer(802.3): defines how to transmit data on physical layer * LLC sublayer(802.2): responsible for identifying different protocol logically & encapsulate them.
The MAC sublayer is part of Layer 2 - Data Link Layer - but it is more correct to say that the MAC address is the physical address.
mac protocols are medium access protocol. mac is sublayer of data link layer in osi model.it provides addressing and medium access mechanism
MAC function is framing of packets and LLC functions are protocol multiplexing, flow control, detection, and error control through a retransmission of dropped packets.LLC acts as an interface between MAC and Network Layer.The following definitions are also true:Logical Link Control (LLC). This sublayer is responsible for the data transmission between computers or devices on a network.Media Access Control (MAC). On a network, the network interface card (NIC) has an unique hardware address which identifies a computer or device. The physical address is utilized for the MAC sublayer addressing.
MAC is a sublayer of Data layer.
MAC stands for Media Access Control. Is also known as the Physical Address of your NIC (Network Interface Card) and is supposed to be unique. It can be spoofed.
MAC provides physical addressing. The BIA (Burn In Address) which is stored in RAM when the computer boots up is added to each frame that is created as the source mac address. But to answer your question, the MAC layer does the following: Data Encapsulation and Media Access Control.
