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?

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.
Which type of addressing is found at the OSI Data Link Layer?
Physical and MAC addressing are found in the OSI layer 2?
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 do you get my Mac address?
MAC is a layer 2 addressing scheme. Layer 2 schemes will not propagate beyond a router. So in general, from a network perspective, you will not see someones mac address past a router. If you are on the same subnet, you may be able to get this via an ARP request. If one was able to gain some sort of remote access to your computer, they could issue a command to query the interface information (ipconfig / ifconfig) to get this info. It is also feasible to have some sort of malware that could get this same info and send it on. Not sure why one would care.
