Where does operates mac in the osi model?
If you mean the MAC address, that's a layer-2 concept.
Which layer of the OSI model includes the MAC address?
That is considered part of layer 2.That is considered part of layer 2.That is considered part of layer 2.That is considered part of layer 2.
Which of the OSI layers translates the MAC address into a physical address?
The MAC sublayer is part of Layer 2 - Data Link Layer - but it is more correct to say that the MAC address is the physical address.
The layer 2 address of an end device on the physical media is called what?
That is called the MAC address.
Is the network layer address important to a transparent learning bridge?
The network layer address is not important to a transparent learning bridge because a transparent bridge operates primarily at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. It uses MAC addresses to forward frames between network segments, learning the addresses of devices on the network to make forwarding decisions. Since the bridge does not examine network layer (Layer 3) addresses, it remains agnostic to IP addressing schemes and focuses solely on MAC address filtering and forwarding.
What information in an Ethernet frame is used by a Layer 2 switch to build its address table?
Source MAC-address
Are the addresses in a layer 2 switch's MAC address table the final destination address or the next hop address?
Final Destination Address
What addressing information is recorded by a switch to build its MAC address table?
the source Layer 2 address of incoming frames
Which combination of a Layer 2 address and a Layer 3 address will enable access if Host A wants to access the Internet?
Destination MAC: 0030.8517.44C4 Default gateway: 172.16.1.1
Is the network layer address important to a transparent learning bridge Why or why not?
The network layer address is not important to a transparent learning bridge because a transparent bridge operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. It uses MAC addresses to make forwarding decisions and learn the network topology, while network layer addresses (like IP addresses) are not used in this process. Therefore, the bridge focuses solely on the MAC addresses to filter and forward traffic within the same local area network (LAN).
What does a layer 2 switch use to decide where to forward a received frame?
A layer 2 switch uses the MAC address to determine which port to switch the frame out of.
What layer does the Mac layer use?
The MAC is maintained and used by the Data Link layer (layer 2).
