How are devices recognized on computer networks?
Each device can be identified by its IP address (assigned for the network and can be subnetted) and its MAC - which is a device identifier supposedly unique to the device.
What is used as a unique NIC identifier?
A Media Access Control (MAC) address is used as a unique identifier for network interface cards (NICs). Each device connected to a network has a unique MAC address assigned by the manufacturer.
2.What are the two types of address or names used in this lab that can uniquely identify a computer on the network?
The two types of addresses used to uniquely identify a computer on a network are the IP address and the MAC address. The IP address is assigned to each device for communication over a network and can change depending on the network. In contrast, the MAC address is a hardware identifier that is permanently assigned to the network interface card (NIC) of the device, ensuring it remains unique regardless of the network it connects to.
What are the three parts that an il address consists of?
An IP address consists of three main parts: the network identifier, the subnet mask, and the host identifier. The network identifier specifies the specific network to which the device belongs, while the subnet mask defines the range of addresses within that network. Lastly, the host identifier uniquely identifies a specific device within that network. Together, these components allow for proper routing and communication across networks.
Is a MAC address logical?
A MAC address is not considered logical; it is a physical address. It is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a local network segment and is hardcoded into the network hardware. Unlike logical addresses, such as IP addresses, which can change based on the network configuration, MAC addresses remain constant for a device's network interface.
What is the Vendor ID (OUI) of the Sources NIC?
The Vendor ID (OUI) of the Sources NIC is the unique organizational identifier assigned to the manufacturer of the network interface card by the IEEE. The OUI is the first three bytes of the MAC address assigned to that device.
What should a network map include?
This all depends but at a minimum a network map should include the physical network design, the logical network design, and how each device is interconnected to each other with a port number or identifier. EH
What does obtaining IP address mean?
Obtaining an IP address refers to the process by which a device connects to a network and is assigned a unique identifier, known as an Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address allows the device to communicate with other devices over the internet or a local network. It can be assigned statically (fixed) or dynamically (temporary), typically through a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. Essentially, obtaining an IP address is crucial for enabling data exchange and network connectivity.
Which set of bits in a standard MAC address are assigned by the manufacturer?
In a standard MAC address, the first 24 bits are assigned by the manufacturer and are known as the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI). This unique identifier is used to identify the manufacturer of the network interface card (NIC). The remaining 24 bits are assigned by the manufacturer to uniquely identify the device within their range of addresses.
What is the first half a MAC address known as?
The first half of a MAC address is known as the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI). This portion consists of the first 24 bits and identifies the manufacturer or organization that produced the network interface hardware. The remaining 24 bits of the MAC address are assigned by the manufacturer to uniquely identify the specific device. Together, the OUI and the device-specific portion create a unique identifier for each network interface.
Where is the OUI used?
OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) is used in MAC addresses of network devices to identify the manufacturer or vendor of the device. It helps in organizing and managing network traffic, troubleshooting network issues, and ensuring security by identifying the origins of devices connected to the network.
What type of MSTV client device is assigned a unique identity by the manufacturer?
An MSTV client device assigned a unique identity by the manufacturer is typically a set-top box. Each set-top box is equipped with a unique identifier, such as a MAC address or a device ID, which allows it to be recognized on a network. This unique identity facilitates secure communication and management of the device within the MSTV ecosystem.
