Chapter 2 - Ethernet Networking and Data Encapsulation Flashcards
Define Ethernet
A contention based, media access method that allows host to share the same links and bandwidth
Define Collision Domain
Every device on the segment must process a frame that is sent out. When there is a collision devices must retransmit. Each port on a switch is considered to be a separate collision domain.
Define Broadcast Domain
A group of devices that hear all broadcasts sent on the network. Can also refer to a logical segment where devices communicate via a data link
What is CSMA/CD
Carrier Sense Multiple Access helps devices share bandwidth while preventing devices from transmitting simultaneously. First it checks the wire and continues to monitor. A jam signal is sent out if another precense is detected.
What is Half Duplex
Using CSMA/CD a signal is trasmitted using a one wire pair running in both directions
What is Full Duplex
Uses a four wire pair running in both directions simultaneously. Collisions do not happen.
Outline the formula for a MAC address
First 24 bits = Organization Unique Identifier Last 24 bits = Vendor Assigned Bit # 47 = Individual/Group Bit - 0 = MAC Address - 1 = Multicast address Bit # 46 = Global/local bit or Universal/Local bit - 0 is globally administered by IEEE - 1 is locally governed and administered
