What does the format for Ethernet frames specify?
destination (physical/hardware address) Source (physical/hardware address) Start flag (start of message indicator) Recipient sender encapsulated data end of frame
How many bits are there in a data link layer Ethernet address?
How many bits are there in a data link layer ethernet address?
What will a host on an Ethernet network do if it receives a frame with a destination MAC address that does not match its own MAC address?
On a hub network:The host (PC-A) computer sends the frame out its Network Interface Card (NIC) to Fast-Ethernet 0/1 (F0/1) on the HUB. The HUB then sends that frame out every interface (except incoming interface). If the destination MAC address is aaa.bbb.ccc, and PC-B has MAC address aaa.aaa.bbb, then PC-B's NIC will ignore the frame and nothing else will happen.
What is the destination MAC address in a multicast Ethernet frame?
an address that begins with 01-00-5E in hexadecimal
Why is it advisable to enter a next-hop IP address when creating a static route whose exit interface is an Ethernet network?
In a multi-access network, the router cannot determine the next-hop MAC address for the Ethernet frame without a next-hop address.
What does the format for Ethernet frames specify?
destination (physical/hardware address) Source (physical/hardware address) Start flag (start of message indicator) Recipient sender encapsulated data end of frame
What is physical address?
The low level addressing scheme used on Ethernet. The 48-bit destination Ethernet address in a packet is compared with the receiving node's Ethernet address.
How many bits are there in a data link layer Ethernet address?
How many bits are there in a data link layer ethernet address?
What do you understand by broadcast network?
When a packet arrives at the network layer on the sender's device, it is encapsulated into a frame whose destination MAC address is all fs (FF-FF-FF...). The switch connected to the sender's device recognizes the all fs MAC address as a broadcast message and hence forwards it to all its ports.
What is a private MAC address?
A MAC address is unique to your ethernet card. MAC addresses are used within an Ethernet network to uniquely identify the source and destination of Ethernet frames. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used on IP networks to map IP addresses to MAC addresses within an Ethernet network.
Which type of address is use in an ethernet frame header?
mac address only
What will a host on an Ethernet network do if it receives a frame with a destination MAC address that does not match its own MAC address?

The HUB then sends that frame out every interface (except incoming interface). If the destination MAC address is aaa.bbb.ccc, and PC-B has MAC address aaa.aaa.bbb, then PC-B's NIC will ignore the frame and nothing else will happen.
Where is the Machine address found on your computer?
The "MAC" address of your computer is built into the Ethernet board.
6 Which type of address is used in an Ethernet frame header?
Mac address only!
How do you connect Ethernet to the Wii?
Connect a CAT5 ethernet cable that runs from the Wii to an available Ethernet jack or to your home router and enter your IP Address into the Wii's settings.
Can there be more than one Ethernet adaptors that have the same Ethernet MAC address?
One computer must have unique MAC addresses for each Ethernet adapter (ideally each Ethernet adapter in existence has a unique MAC address but there are some that allow manual setting of the MAC, so duplicates can exist.) If you have not changed anything from the factory settings then each network card will have a unique address!
Which protocol header carries the physical address of host?
Ethernet
