How many bytes in a Mac address?
A Mac address is a 48bit addressing scheme (usually represented in HEX). There are 8 bits in a bytes therefore it is 6 bytes long.
What are the different addressing schemes used in networking?
MAC addressing. IP addressing. port addressing. specific address.
How many potential MAC address schemes are possible?
The original IEEE 802 MAC address comes from the original Xerox Ethernet addressing scheme. This 48-bit address space contains potentially 248 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses.
What addressing information is recorded by a switch to build its MAC address table?
the source Layer 2 address of incoming frames
What is associated with the network layer a ip adddress bframes c mac address d physical addressing?

Which type of addressing is found at the OSI Data Link Layer?
Physical and MAC addressing are found in the OSI layer 2?
Name 2 networking devices that transmit packets based on MAC address?
A MAC address is used as a unique identifier that is assigned to network interfaces. Two networking devices that transmit packets based on MAC addresses are switches and bridges.
What are two primary responsibilities of the Ethernet MAC sublayer?
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.
Difference between ip address and macip?
See the OSI layer. The MAC address is the base addressing. IP addresses ride on top of the MAC Addresses.
What is the Difference between hierarchical and flat address?
Hierarchical addressing organizes addresses in a tree-like structure with levels or layers, like in IP addresses. Flat addressing treats all addresses as equal without any structure or hierarchy, like in MAC addresses.
How MAC-address table formed in switching?

Is ARP the core protocol responsible for logical addressing?
The structure of the question is meant to trick you because 'logical addressing' is being used loosely. Technically, IP is the CORE protocol responsible for logical addressing. ARP is the network layer protocol that is used to discover the identity(physical address) of a machine whose IP address you know. Very briefly, it does this by creating a database that maps the MAC address to the (hosts') logical address provided.
