data link header
destination mac addresssource mac address CRC - FCS
The Ethernet protocol's header includes the source MAC address.
1)Source and destination MAC Address 2)FCS Field
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.
in the osi model data link layer is adds source & destination mac address to frames
Each packet carries the address of the intended recipient. Each computer has a unique address. It works rather like the postal system.
Source or Destination MAC address
switch
Destination Address (I.P. ) will stay the same during transmission. But be careful! Only if it is Ip address. However if it is MAC it will change as it travels thru diferent routers with different MAC addresses to get to the destination Ip address (which does not change)!
solicited-node multicast address
The source MAC address within a frame is used by the switch to associate a port with that MAC address. Frames are directed by the switch from one port to another based on the destination MAC address within the frame.
