What else can I help you with?
How are data frames identified and sent to the correct VLAN when exiting an Ethernet trunk?
Based on the VLAN tag.
In what context is the term gigabit ethernet used?
Gigabit Ethernet is the term used to describe the transmission of Ethernet frames at a rate of one gigabit per second. It started being used in early 1999.
Which of these options are characteristics of the Ethernet data transmission standard?
Data transmissions is via frames, each having a single MAC address. The CSMA/CD access method is used to detect collisions.
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
Does an unmanaged switch have its own MAC address?
yes i think, because the MAC address is the physical address which is assigned by the vendor of the Ethernet card. ** Improved Answer ** No, Unmanaged switches do not have a MAC address. All they do is filter, forward or flood frames.
Why are Ethernet II frames preferred over Ethernet 802.3 frames on contemporay lans?
They can support multiple higher-layer protocols, and Ethernet 802.3 frames cannot.
Why are Ethernet II frames preferred over Ethernet 802.3 frames on contemporary Lans?
a. because they can support multiple higher-layer protocols, and Ethernet_802.3 frames cannot
Why are Ethernet 11 frames preferred over Ethernet 802.3 frames on contemporary LAN?
because they can support multiple higher-layer protocols
What gets sent on a cat5 cable?
Usually Ethernet frames.
What are the minimum and maximum sizes for Ethernet frames?
It would be 46 and 64 bytes.
Can you transport Ethernet over SONET?
Yes, Ethernet can be transported over SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) using a method called "Ethernet over SONET" (EoS). This technique encapsulates Ethernet frames within SONET frames, allowing Ethernet data to be transmitted over SONET links while taking advantage of SONET's high-speed, reliable transmission capabilities. EoS facilitates the integration of Ethernet services into existing SONET networks, enabling service providers to offer Ethernet services over long distances.
What is the PPPOE protocol about?
The Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet or the PPPOE is a network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames inside Ethernet frames. The PPPOE term is something used confusingly to refer to either a modem to router protocol and/or the DSL side of things.
How are data frames identified and sent to the correct VLAN when exiting an Ethernet trunk?
Based on the VLAN tag.
In what context is the term gigabit ethernet used?
Gigabit Ethernet is the term used to describe the transmission of Ethernet frames at a rate of one gigabit per second. It started being used in early 1999.
What is a possible cause of runt Ethernet frames when a switch is being used?
A possible cause of runt Ethernet frames when a switch is being used is a mismatch in network configurations, such as different duplex settings between devices. This can lead to collisions and truncated frames. Additionally, hardware issues like faulty network interface cards (NICs) or cabling problems can also contribute to the generation of runt frames, as they can disrupt the normal transmission of data packets.
What is Ethernet header?
An Ethernet header is a portion of data that precedes the payload in an Ethernet frame, containing essential information for data transmission over a network. It typically includes the source and destination MAC addresses, the EtherType field to indicate the protocol used in the payload, and other control information. The header enables devices on a local area network (LAN) to identify and process the incoming frames correctly. In standard Ethernet frames, the header is usually 14 bytes long.
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.
