What else can I help you with?
Switches ans NIC's works at layer?
nic work on data link layer which is layer 2
What layers of the OSI model does the NIC operate?
The NIC operates on Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of the OSI Model.
What layer governs how a nic must be attached to the network medium?
The physical layer - layer 1.
Which layer is responsible for converting data packets from the Data Link layer into electrical signals?
This protocol would be the NIC (Network Interface Card). The NIC takes frames from layer 2 and converts them into electrical siginal's
At what layer a NIC identifies itself using the MAC address?
Data Link Layer...
What are Data Link Layer Devices?
bridges, Switches and NIC..
Does MAC address operates at Layer 2?
yes. thougth the nic is a layer 1 device its mac address is used in datalink layer
Generates signals as changes in voltage at the NIC?
The Physical Layer of the OSI model.
What is the purpose of nic card?
The NIC card connects a computer to a computer network. This card implements the electronic circuitry required to communicate using a specific physical layer and a data link layer standard such as Ethernet or WiFi.

Which layer of OSI Model is the network interface card of LAN related to?
The network interface card (NIC) of a Local Area Network (LAN) primarily operates at the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. This layer is responsible for node-to-node data transfer and framing, enabling the NIC to manage how data packets are placed on and received from the physical medium. Additionally, the NIC also interacts with the Physical Layer (Layer 1), which deals with the physical connection and transmission of raw bits over the network medium.
Why are NIC cards classified at data link layer?
The Data-Link layer is the place where the data's are broken in to small transferable packets. The NIC card is included into this layer is for one main reason as i have studied. Though the NIC card is a Physical device the algorithms which are embed with in the NIC card do the packet process. The data link layer is the place where the packets are sent to the next layer. though it looks simple the algorithm is not a simple calculation. i hope this would help u all M.R.A.RAHMAN mcp, mcsa, mcse, ICT HND network, BCAS Sri Lanka Kandy
