physical layer
nic work on data link layer which is layer 2
The NIC operates on Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of the OSI Model.
The physical layer - layer 1.
This protocol would be the NIC (Network Interface Card). The NIC takes frames from layer 2 and converts them into electrical siginal's
Data Link Layer...
bridges, Switches and NIC..
yes. thougth the nic is a layer 1 device its mac address is used in datalink layer
The Physical Layer of the OSI model.
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.

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.
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
