IEEE 802.3
Name given to ethernet sublayer PDU
Frame
functions associated with data encapsulation at ethernet mac sublayer
frame delimiting
addressing
error detection
what happens when a data collision occurs on the ethernet bus
all devices stop transmitting and try again later
what is true about the ethernet mac address
first 6 hexadecimal digits of MAC address represent the OUI
vendor responsible for assigning the last 24 bits of mac address
also known as burned-in address
minimum/maximum ethernet frame size as defined by IEEE 802.3
64-1518
which field in an ethernet frame is used for error detection
frame check sequence
Which address is used as a destination address on a broadcast
Ethernet frame
FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
Which address is a multicast MAC address?
B. 01-00-5E-00-00-C8
- Multicast MAC address associated with an IPV4 multicast address is a special value that begins with 01-00-5E in hexadecimal
What functions are provided by the ARP process? (Choose two.)
resolving ipv4 addresses to mac addresses
maintaining a table of mapping
Which devices on a network will receive an ARP request?
all devices in L2 broadcast domain
When ARP receives a request to map an
IPv4 address to a MAC address, it first looks in its _____. If no entry is
found, ARP will send out an _____.
ARP table/ARP cache.
ARP request
When a device receives an ARP request for a device with a different IP address, it will use the ____ information to update its ARP table and then it will ____ the packet.
source
drop
ARP ___ are sent to a broadcast MAC
address, and ARP replies are sent to a ___ MAC address.
requests
unicast
When a switch receives a broadcast frame it enters the source information in its ______ and then it floods the frame to all ports except for the one the frame was _____
MAC address table
Received on
MAC address table is sometimes referred to as a ____ table because it is stored in _____ memory
CAM
content addressable
What type of switching is used on L2 switches to allow qos
Store and forward
Fragment free
If source and destination ipv4 addresses are on the same network the destination MAC address will be that of which device
Same device as the destination ipv4
- Which layer of the OSI model is concerned with end-to-end
communication over the network?
transport
Which of the following is associated with the network layer?
ip address
Why was IPv4 designed as a connectionless protocol?
- IP is connectionless, which greatly reduces the overhead of IP.
- Therefore, there is no initial exchange of control information before
packets are forwarded, and no additional fields exist in the header to
maintain an established connection
