What reserved address is a local broadcast address?
The IP address 255.255.255.255 is reserved for local broadcast.
Host a sends a frame with the destination mac address as ffffffffffff what action will the switch take for this frame?
It will send the frame to all hosts except host A.This is a MAC broadcast address. All hosts on that subnet will receive the packet or frame. With the exception of the sending host of course.
What happens to the MAC address when you move a computer to another network?
The MAC address is a unique identifier for a networking card. Each networking card has a MAC address assigned to it during it's manufacturing, and thus it does not change when a computer moves between networks (unlike an IP address which is assigned by the network). A few things to note: - A computer only has a MAC address if it has a physical or virtual network card - A computer has as many MAC addresses as it has networking cards - MAC addresses CAN be modified before being broadcast to the rest of the network, however generally this results in the computer not receiving intended traffic and requires specialized software
What type of address is 202.23.2.255?
It is a broadcast address
Why ip address start with 255.255..?
the Ip address is used to broadcast messages, such as the Emergency Broadcast message recived on your television
A switch receives a frame with a destination MAC address that is currently not in the MAC table What action does the switch perform?
It duplicates the frame to all Ethernet ports, except the port it came from. A switch's MAC table is built not from destination addresses it receives, but by the source MAC addresses. So the frame is broadcast throughout the broadcast domain, until the end device with a matching MAC address responds to the broadcast, thus giving the switch a new source address to add to its MAC table.
Which protocol is used to determine a MAC address of a remote host interface?
ARP (address resolution protocol) is used in this case. Basically, one computer asks, for example, "who has IP address 10.0.0.15" (the message is sent as a broadcast), and the computer with this IP address replies, including its MAC address.ARP (address resolution protocol) is used in this case.

A switch received a frame with a destination mac address that is currently not in the mac table what action does the switch performs?
It will broadcast to every port in the vlan.
What action will a router take when it receives a frame with a broadcast MAC address?
It will not forward the frame to another network
Why does the PC send out a broadcast ARP prior to sending the first ping request?
The PC sends out a broadcast ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) request before the first ping request to determine the MAC address of the target device corresponding to its IP address. Since IP communication requires the MAC address for packet delivery on a local network, the broadcast ensures that all devices on the network segment receive the request. The target device will respond with its MAC address, allowing the PC to encapsulate the ping request in Ethernet frames for proper transmission.
Can you have broadcasts at the Layer 2 level If so what would the MAC address be?
Yes, broadcasts can occur at the Layer 2 level in a network using Ethernet. The MAC address used for broadcast is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, which signifies that the frame should be sent to all devices on the local network segment. When a device sends a frame with this MAC address, all devices within the same broadcast domain will receive and process the frame.
When would a switch record multiple entries for a single switch port in its MAC address table?
A switch would record multiple entries for a single switch port in its MAC address table if it does not contain the Mac address of a particular destination in the address table. It will broadcast to all ports besides the port where entry comes from.
What is the broadcast MAC address in hexadecimal notation?
FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
Why does a switch flood a frame?
A switch floods a frame when it doesn't have the destination MAC address in its MAC address table. The frame is then forwarded out of all interfaces except the one it was received on in an attempt to find the correct host.
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 kind of address is the destination MAC address in an RARP request?
In a Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) request, the destination MAC address is typically set to the broadcast address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF). This allows the RARP request to be sent to all devices on the local network segment, ensuring that the RARP server, which is responsible for resolving the MAC address to an IP address, can receive the request from any client that needs to determine its IP address.
Why does a network host need to broadcast an ARP request?
A host on a network needs to broadcast an ARP request to advertise its Mac address. The networking world is very chatty in nature and when a new network host is available it immediately broadcasts its Mac address as with a ARP message. Also when a particular network host needs to send a data packet to another network host available in the same LAN whose Mac address is unknown, the first network host sends out a ARP message requesting for the destination network hosts MAC address.
