What type of frame is the arp reply unicast or broadcast?
Unicast
What action will a router take when it receives a frame with a broadcast MAC address?
It will not forward the frame to another network
What kind of frame gets received by all NICs in a LAN?
A broadcast frame is received by all Network Interface Cards (NICs) in a Local Area Network (LAN). This type of frame is sent to the broadcast address, typically represented as FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF in Ethernet networks. All devices on the network recognize this address and process the broadcast frame, allowing for communication to all devices simultaneously.
What addresses is used as a destination address for an Ethernet broadcast frame?
255.255.255.255
Why is an arp query sent within a broadcast frame?
An ARP query is sent in a broadcast frame because the querying host does not know which adapter address corresponds to the IP address in question. For the response, the sending node knows the adapter address to which the response should be sent, so there is no need to send a broadcast frame (which would have to be processed by all the other nodes on the LAN).
How will a broadcast frame that is sent by a host PC be handled on the net?
The broadcast will be received by all devices in the same network, but will not be forwarded outside the network (routers do not forward broadcast messages). So for the Internet, for example, you do not see broadcast packets.
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.
How does an Ethernet switch forward a broadcast frame?
it s connected by the bridge network connection
The command frame-relay map ip 10.121.16.8 102 broadcast was entered on the router what is true concerning this command?
The broadcast option allows packets, such as RIP updates, to be forwarded across the PVC
Why does a switch flood a frame?
A switch floods a frame when it doesn't have the destination MAC address in its MAC address table. The frame is then forwarded out of all interfaces except the one it was received on in an attempt to find the correct host.
Host a sends a frame with the destination mac address as ffffffffffff what action will the switch take for this frame?
It will send the frame to all hosts except host A.This is a MAC broadcast address. All hosts on that subnet will receive the packet or frame. With the exception of the sending host of course.
Can you have broadcasts at the Layer 2 level If so what would the MAC address be?
Yes, broadcasts can occur at the Layer 2 level in a network using Ethernet. The MAC address used for broadcast is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, which signifies that the frame should be sent to all devices on the local network segment. When a device sends a frame with this MAC address, all devices within the same broadcast domain will receive and process the frame.
