1.
To perform the control of access to media.
2.
It performs the unique addressing to stations directly connected to LAN.
3.
Detection of error.
What are two primary responsibilities of the Ethernet MAC sublayer? (Choose two.)
In IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, the Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer consists of two main components: the MAC Control sublayer and the MAC Data sublayer. The MAC Control sublayer is responsible for managing access to the shared wireless medium and handling frame control, while the MAC Data sublayer is tasked with the encapsulation and transmission of data frames. Together, these components ensure efficient communication and coordination among devices in a wireless network.
MAC sublayer is located at Data link layer.
The Data Link layer of the OSI model has been subdivided into the Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer and the Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer. The LLC sublayer is responsible for providing error control and flow control, while the MAC sublayer manages access to the physical transmission medium and the addressing of devices on the network. This division allows for more efficient data handling and communication in network environments.
No, frame delimiting is a primary responsibility of the Logical Link Control sublayer of the Data Link Layer.. Data link layer exists of 2 sublayers; Media Acces control Sublayer (MAC) & Logical Link Control sublayer (LLC)
LLC (Logical Link Control) sublayer - The LLC provides a common interface and supplies reliability andflow control services.Hope this helps,A. York
MAC
* MAC sublayer(802.3): defines how to transmit data on physical layer * LLC sublayer(802.2): responsible for identifying different protocol logically & encapsulate them.
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.
mac protocols are medium access protocol. mac is sublayer of data link layer in osi model.it provides addressing and medium access mechanism
MAC is a sublayer of Data layer.
MAC stands for Media Access Control. Is also known as the Physical Address of your NIC (Network Interface Card) and is supposed to be unique. It can be spoofed.
