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).
What is a device identifier?
A device identifier usually refers to a MAC address.
A switch receives a frame with a destination MAC address that is currently not in the MAC table What action does the switch perform?
It duplicates the frame to all Ethernet ports, except the port it came from. A switch's MAC table is built not from destination addresses it receives, but by the source MAC addresses. So the frame is broadcast throughout the broadcast domain, until the end device with a matching MAC address responds to the broadcast, thus giving the switch a new source address to add to its MAC table.
Can you track an ipod without an ip?
Yes you can track any device by using what is called a a MAC address. Every device on this planet has a mac address that can be tracked.
How do I change mac address of my Aztech dsl605ew DSL Modem?
You can't. The MAC address is a permanant part of the device.
Which criteria does the switch use to build dynamic Mac table?
address resolution protocol is used when the switch used to build the dynamic mac address table.
What network device uses a MAC address table to segment network?
Although some would suggest that a switch could segment a network (and it does use the MAC address for switching) more properly a bridge would be the answer if you are speaking of segmenting a network.
Mac IPaddress long form?
MAC addresses and IP addresses are two different representations of how to send data to a device by network protocol. A MAC address is the unique identity of a device, used in a network to distinguish one device from another. An IP address is a unique address that shows how traffic should be routed to reach the device.
When would a switch record multiple entries for a single switch port in its MAC address table?
A switch would record multiple entries for a single switch port in its MAC address table if it does not contain the Mac address of a particular destination in the address table. It will broadcast to all ports besides the port where entry comes from.
What information in a frame does a switch or bridge use to populate the MAC address table?
Source MAC address and source port
Why does destination mac address come before source mac address in an ethernet frame?
The destination MAC is before the source one for easier scanning, mostly because it is the destination device that is important as that is the device we are trying to reach.
What is a host on network?
A host on a network is generally a device with a unique mac address (hardware address, set at the factory) It can be a PC with a network device, a network switch, a printer etc etc hosts can have an IP address mapped to their mac address's
