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.
Which device uses mac address table to send data from the input port to the port that connects to the destination device?
You seem to be referring to a NIC (Network interface card).
A switch receives a frame with a destination MAC address that is currently not in the MAC table What action does the switch perform?
It duplicates the frame to all Ethernet ports, except the port it came from. A switch's MAC table is built not from destination addresses it receives, but by the source MAC addresses. So the frame is broadcast throughout the broadcast domain, until the end device with a matching MAC address responds to the broadcast, thus giving the switch a new source address to add to its MAC table.
What is a device identifier?
A device identifier usually refers to a MAC address.
Destination arp address?
The destination ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) address is the MAC (Media Access Control) address that corresponds to the IP address of the intended recipient of a data packet on a local network. When a device wants to communicate with another device, it uses ARP to map the IP address to its MAC address. If the MAC address is not already known, the device broadcasts an ARP request to the network, and the device with the matching IP address responds with its MAC address. This process enables devices to communicate effectively over Ethernet networks.
Can you track an ipod without an ip?
Yes you can track any device by using what is called a a MAC address. Every device on this planet has a mac address that can be tracked.
Which criteria does the switch use to build dynamic Mac table?
address resolution protocol is used when the switch used to build the dynamic mac address table.
How do I change mac address of my Aztech dsl605ew DSL Modem?
You can't. The MAC address is a permanant part of the device.
What network device uses a MAC address table to segment network?
Although some would suggest that a switch could segment a network (and it does use the MAC address for switching) more properly a bridge would be the answer if you are speaking of segmenting a network.
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.
When would a switch record multiple entries for a single switch port in its MAC address table?
A switch would record multiple entries for a single switch port in its MAC address table if it does not contain the Mac address of a particular destination in the address table. It will broadcast to all ports besides the port where entry comes from.
What information in a frame does a switch or bridge use to populate the MAC address table?
Source MAC address and source port
