The FCS (Frame Check Sequence) Component of an ethernet frame permits the end recipient to check for, and correct, errors in the packet. It is a checksum that is checked against the packet for data integrity, to put it simply. When the number does not check out properly, the frame is thrown out and a replacement packet is requested.

What is the function of the FCS field in an Ethernet frame explain how it is used how it is used to make a header?
In an Ethernet frame, FCS stands for "Frame Check Sequence". It is a four-octet field used to verify that the frame was received without loss or error. The method used for verification is known as a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).
Which field of an Ethernet frame is used for error detection?
c) Check frame sequence. The FCS (4 bytes in length) field is used to detect errors in a frame
Which field are contained within an IEEE Ethernet frame header?
1)Source and destination MAC Address 2)FCS Field
What are the optical line coding methods?
Some common optical line coding methods include Non-return-to-zero (NRZ), Return-to-zero (RZ), Manchester encoding, Differential Manchester encoding, and amplitude-shift keying (ASK). These methods are used in optical communication systems to convert digital data into optical signals for transmission over optical fibers.
How many bits in the FCS in an Ethernet frame?
32 bits. which is 4 bytes (8 bits in each byte).
What is the purpose of the Frame Check Sequence field in a Data Link frame trailer?
The purpose of the FCS field is to transmit the extra checksum characters added to a frame in "xyz" protocol for error detection. The most popular algorithm I've used is the CRC (cyclic redundancy check) employed in things like ethernet or PPP on a routed network. Keep in mind that ethernet defines that the errored frame should be discarded, but ethernet takes no action to cause the frame to be retransmitted. Typically most tech's see it as unnecessary overhead and opt to rely on CSMA\CD or CSMA\CA if the route is not deemed to carry time sensitive data. Hope that clears things up a bit.
What are the FCS as used in networking?
Frame Check Sequence
How many bytes is the data frame made by FCS and the header together?
14 bytes for the header and 4 bytes for the FCS (Frame Check Sequence) for a total of 18 bytes.
If a node receives a frame and the calculated crc does not mach the crc in the fcs what action will the nod take?
It will drop the frame
Suppose that at the receiving node a frame's FCS doesn't match the FCS is was issued at the transmitting node what happens as a result?
The receiving nodes data link layer requests a retransmission.
Explain the store and forward method of switching give the advantage and disadvantage of this message switching technique what is packet switching?
In this type of switching, the entire frame is read and stored in memory before being sent to the destination device. The switch checks the integrity of the bits in the frame by recalculating the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value. If the calculated CRC value is the same as the CRC field value in the frame, the switch forwards the frame out the destination port. The switch does not forward frames if the CRC values do not match. The CRC value is located within the frame check sequence (FCS) field of an Ethernet frame. Although this method keeps damaged frames from being switched to other network segments, it introduces the highest amount of latency. Due to the latency incurred by the store and forward method, it is typically only used in environments where errors are likely to occur, such as environments that have a high probability of EMI.
What three items are contained in a Ethernet header and trailer?
