The FCS (Frame Check Sequence) Component of an ethernet frame permits the end recipient to check for, and correct, errors in the packet. It is a checksum that is checked against the packet for data integrity, to put it simply. When the number does not check out properly, the frame is thrown out and a replacement packet is requested.

How large is the FCS field of an Ethernet II frame?
The Frame Check Sequence (FCS) field of an Ethernet II frame is 4 bytes (32 bits) in size. It is located at the end of the frame and is used for error checking to ensure data integrity during transmission. The FCS helps detect any corruption that may occur in the frame as it travels across the network.
What is the function of the FCS field in an Ethernet frame explain how it is used how it is used to make a header?
In an Ethernet frame, FCS stands for "Frame Check Sequence". It is a four-octet field used to verify that the frame was received without loss or error. The method used for verification is known as a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).
Which field of an Ethernet frame is used for error detection?
c) Check frame sequence. The FCS (4 bytes in length) field is used to detect errors in a frame
Which field are contained within an IEEE Ethernet frame header?
1)Source and destination MAC Address 2)FCS Field
What Ethernet(II) frame field is used for error detection?
The Ethernet (II) frame uses the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) field for error detection. This field is a 4-byte cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value that is calculated based on the frame's contents before transmission. When the frame is received, the receiving device calculates the CRC again and compares it to the FCS value; if they do not match, an error is detected, indicating that the frame may have been corrupted during transmission.
How many bits in the FCS in an Ethernet frame?
32 bits. which is 4 bytes (8 bits in each byte).
What is the purpose of the Frame Check Sequence field in a Data Link frame trailer?
The purpose of the FCS field is to transmit the extra checksum characters added to a frame in "xyz" protocol for error detection. The most popular algorithm I've used is the CRC (cyclic redundancy check) employed in things like ethernet or PPP on a routed network. Keep in mind that ethernet defines that the errored frame should be discarded, but ethernet takes no action to cause the frame to be retransmitted. Typically most tech's see it as unnecessary overhead and opt to rely on CSMA\CD or CSMA\CA if the route is not deemed to carry time sensitive data. Hope that clears things up a bit.
What are the FCS as used in networking?
Frame Check Sequence
How many bytes is the data frame made by FCS and the header together?
14 bytes for the header and 4 bytes for the FCS (Frame Check Sequence) for a total of 18 bytes.
Is bit stuffing needed for the control field as in case of address data and FCS fields of the HDLC frame?
Yes, bit stuffing is needed for the control field in HDLC frames, similar to the address and Frame Check Sequence (FCS) fields. Bit stuffing is used to prevent the occurrence of specific bit patterns, such as the frame delimiter (0x7E), within the data fields, including the control field. By inserting a '0' after a sequence of five consecutive '1's, bit stuffing ensures that the frame remains distinguishable and can be correctly framed during transmission and reception.
If a node receives a frame and the calculated crc does not mach the crc in the fcs what action will the nod take?
It will drop the frame
Suppose that at the receiving node a frame's FCS doesn't match the FCS is was issued at the transmitting node what happens as a result?
The receiving nodes data link layer requests a retransmission.
