Two MAC addresses can be associated with one port in scenarios involving features like VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) or link aggregation. In VLAN configurations, a switch port can support multiple virtual networks, each with its own MAC address for devices connected to that VLAN. Additionally, in link aggregation, multiple physical connections are combined into a single logical link, allowing devices to share a single MAC address across those connections for redundancy and increased bandwidth.
What else can I help you with?
Does each port of swith have it own mac address?
No. The switch itself will only have one MAC address. Only routers use different MAC addresses for each port.
What address does a switch build into its table to successfully send data to that device?
A switch builds a MAC address table, which contains the MAC addresses of devices connected to its ports along with the corresponding port numbers. When a switch receives a data frame, it reads the source MAC address and updates its table if the address is not already present. To send data to a specific device, the switch looks up the destination MAC address in its table and forwards the frame out of the appropriate port associated with that address. If the destination address is not found, the switch broadcasts the frame to all ports except the one it received it on.
Can you use 2 Mac addresses from one cable at the same time with a splitter if both Mac addresses are provisioned?
MAC address are hard coded on network cards and network devices. A HUB acts as a splitter, so yes. >both Mac addresses are provisioned; Implies your ISP will assign unique IP addresses. The hub then acts as only an electrical connection box. Without Unique IP addresses, you need a router instead of a hub or switch
Which two statements describe the operation of an access layer ethernet switch choose two?
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.
How does the switch learn the Mac address?
Each Ethernet frame sent from one computer to another includes the source and the destionation MAC addresses. It is from these addresses that the switch learns what device is connected to the port. At first, the switch won't know the destination address; in that case, it will broadcast the frame through all of its ports. But soon it learns this information. It is also possible, in some switches, to add the MAC address through configuration commands.
What is switch flooding?
Switch flooding is an attack that consists of two parts: one part is a denial of service attack, and the other piece (if used) is an attempt to retrieve confidential information from the switch. In a flooding attack, the switch is flooded with multiple MAC addresses. Normally a MAC address is used to determine which port to switch the frame to, bypassing any clients that should not get the frame. Since a switch has a limited amount of memory for storing MAC addresses the flooding attack overruns the table and causes a fail-over situation, where the frames are repeated out each port (like a hub) rather than switching to a specific port. A malicious user with a packet sniffer could possibly be listening for confidential information to be repeated out one of the ports.
Why does a switch need a default gateway address configured?
There isn't one. The switch only knows about MAC addresses, and the default gateway isn't one of those addresses.
Where are your Plug in on your MIni Mac?
All connections are on the rear of the Mac Mini. There is an HDMI port we you can plug in your monitor. There's also a thunderbolt port or you can plug-in any monitor equipped with a thunderbolt output. There's also 4 USB ports and one ethernet port
Mac IPaddress long form?
MAC addresses and IP addresses are two different representations of how to send data to a device by network protocol. A MAC address is the unique identity of a device, used in a network to distinguish one device from another. An IP address is a unique address that shows how traffic should be routed to reach the device.
How can one use a MAC address lookup to find a vendor?
Find the MAC address of your Ethernet or Bluetooth device and visit a site which will lookup the associated vendor. Enter in the alphanumeric letters associated with the vendor.
Where can one find AVG for Mac?
There currently is no AVG available for a Mac because of the low infection rate associated with Macs. There are other anti-virus apps available for Mac's though.
Where can one buy Mac ports online?
Mac ports can not be purchased, however information on configuriing ports on a Mac computer can be found on the official Apple support website. There is also a website called MacPorts, which provides information on Mac port files.
