What component of the computer provides it with a MAC address?
NIC
What are the function of RARP?
RARP is short from Reverse Address resolution protocol. As the name suggests RARP functions the reverse as ARP. That is it maps MAC address to IP address.
How devices get their MAC or IP address.?
A device or computer gets their MAC address from their Network Interface Card (or NIC). This is not something that a user is able to change (See discussion as to why you can change your MAC address). However an IP address can be statically assigned to you which means a network administrator has physically typed out what your IP address and subnet mask is. Another way to get an IP address is through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, or DHCP as it is most commonly known as.
Which field are contained within an IEEE Ethernet frame header?
1)Source and destination MAC Address 2)FCS Field
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.
What is Mac protocol?
mac protocols are medium access protocol. mac is sublayer of data link layer in osi model.it provides addressing and medium access mechanism
Which protocol is used to convert logical IP addresses to physical MAC addresses?
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)ARP is primarily used to translate IP Addresses to Ethernet MAC Addresses.
What protocol is responsible for resolving ip addresses to mac addresses for source hosts that knows ip addresses of the destination host but not the mac address?
ARP, or Address Resolution Protocol, defined by RFC 826.
Network layer protocol that obtains the MAC physical address of a host or node and then creates a database that maps the MAC address to the hosts IP logical address?
ARP
What protocol provide MAC address?
the answer just so happens to be yo mama
Which protocol enables a host to determine a destination mac address for a given destination ip address?
DHCP
What function does Address Resolution Protocol ARP perform?
Converts IP address to Media Access Control (MAC) Address.
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.

Which criteria does the switch use to build dynamic Mac table?
address resolution protocol is used when the switch used to build the dynamic mac address table.
What component of the computer provides it with a MAC address?
NIC
Types technology using determnistic MAC protocol and Non Deterministic MAC protocol?
types technology using determnistic MAC protocol and Non Deterministic MAC protocol?
To make arp more efficient computers save recognized mac to ip address mappings on their hard disks in a database known as?
To make ARP more efficient computers save recognized mac to IP address mappings on their hard disks in a database known as ARP cache. ARP is an network layer protocol / third layer protocol. ARP provides mapping between Logical to physical address.
