How are data link layer Ethernet addresses normally written down?

Data link layer Ethernet addresses, also known as MAC (Media Access Control) addresses, are typically written in hexadecimal format, consisting of six pairs of two-digit numbers separated by colons or hyphens. For example, an Ethernet address might be represented as "00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E" or "00-1A-2B-3C-4D-5E". Each pair corresponds to a byte (8 bits) of the address, with the entire MAC address being 48 bits long.


Where does Ethernet protocol align in the osi model?

Ethernet is a data link layer protocol - layer 2


Bits are packaged into frames at which layer of the OSI model?

Data link layer


What does the computer term bits packet frame segment data mean and in what layer they belong?

Telegrams are sent in data packets. Bits packet frame segment data mean data packet and they belongs to Data link layer. Bye.


Does the data link layer finalize and frame a packet?

yes,data link layer finalize and frame a packet as frame is a series of bits that units a data.........


Why is framing done in networking?

A point-to-point connection consists of a wire in which data is transmitted as a stream of bits. However, these bits must be framed into discernible blocks of information. Framing is a function of the data link layer. It provides a way for a sender to transmit a set of bits that are meaningful to the receiver. Ethernet, token ring, frame relay, and other data link layer technologies have their own frame structures. Frames have headers that contain information such as error-checking codes. Frame is a digital data transmission unit that includes frame synchronization.


Size of 8086 address bus?

The 8086/8088 has an internal 20-bit address bus and 16-bit data bus. Externally, the address bus is 20-bits, and the data bus is 16-bits for the 8086 and 8-bits for the 8088.The data bus in the 8086 is 16 bits in size, while the address bus is 20.


Why are wireless technologies like WiFi and 3G unable to reuse the Ethernet data link layer?

Wired Ethernet can physically detect collisions, WIFI can't.


A device receives an Ethernet frame and recognizes the MAC address as its own. What does the device do to the message to get to the encapsulated data?

Removes the Ethernet header and trailer


Ethernet operates at which layers of the OSI model?

Physical and Data-link layers.Physical being layer 1 and Data-link being layer 2.


What layer arrange signals into logical units of information called frame?

Layer 2 or the 'Data' layer of the OSI model encapsulates either 'bits' from the physical layer (1)- moving up the TCP stack or 'Packets' from the Network layer (3)- going down the the stack. 7 - Application Layer DATA 6 - Presentation Layer DATA 5 - Session Layer DATA 4 - Transport Layer SEGMENT 3 - Network Layer PACKET 2 - Data Layer (Incorporating LLC and MAC) FRAME 1 - Physical Layer BIT A good nmemonic for remembering the data encapsulation in the OSI model is 'Don't Some Peolple Fry Bacon' - Data, Segments, Packets, Bits.


How The network does not transfer data as continuous bits but as Packets?

Continuous data (or payload) is broken up into seqments in order to better manage traffic on the network and sometimes to provide a faster path to the destination. The data seqments are inserted into separate Ethernet frames which contain the navigation information for the frame along with the data. Besides the payload data the frame contains information about where the data comes from (source address) where it is going (destination address), and other "housekeeping" information. The term "packet" technically refers to only one particular layer of the "onion" of how information is transferred, but in common usage refers to the overall system of packaging data in groupings within groupings within groupings, each serving a different network layer of service.
