What is significant about the contents of the destination address field?
The destination address field in a frame refers to the physical (or MAC) address of the destination node.
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.
Switches have three primary modes to handle frame switching Which one of these modes look at the destination address and then immediately forwards the frame to the destination?
The mode that looks at the destination address and immediately forwards the frame to the destination is called "cut-through switching." In this mode, the switch begins forwarding the frame as soon as it reads the destination MAC address, which reduces latency. However, it does not check the entire frame for errors before forwarding, which can lead to potential issues if the frame is corrupted.
What value in the address field of a Frame Relay header identifies the destination of the frame?
DLCI
What value in the address field of frame relay header identifies the destination of the frame?
DLCI
Which address does an NIC use when deciding whether to accept a frame?
Destination MAC address
What happens when a node on an Ethernet network is creating a frame and it does not have the destination MAC address?
The node sends out an ARP request with the destination IP address.
What addresses is used as a destination address for an Ethernet broadcast frame?
255.255.255.255
What is the destination MAC address in a multicast Ethernet frame?
an address that begins with 01-00-5E in hexadecimal
Which protocol is used to discover the destination address needed to be added to an ethernet frame?
ARP
Why does destination mac address come before source mac address in an ethernet frame?
The destination MAC is before the source one for easier scanning, mostly because it is the destination device that is important as that is the device we are trying to reach.
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.
