Which of the Following Devices does not Examine the Mac Address in a Frame?

Chapter 3 Flashcards

A hub and a repeater send signals out all other ports. These devices do not examine the frame or the packet contents. A switch or a bridge use the MAC address in a frame for forwarding decisions. A router uses the IP address in a packet for forwarding decisions.

Which of the Following Devices Operates with a MAC Address?

Explanation: A network interface card and a switch operate at layer 2 Data Link of the OSI model . Layer 2 includes protocol that define the MAC address. The MAC address is burned into the network interface card, and switch uses the MAC address to make forwarding decisions.

Which of the Following Devices Work with MAC Addresses to Determine what to do with Network Traffic?

Both hubs and switches are used in Ethernet networks. Switches make forwarding decisions based on the Media Access Control MAC addresses of the devices connected to them to determine the correct port.

Which of the Following Devices Uses MAC Address of Connected Devices to Forward Packet Frames?

A switch builds its MAC address table by recording the MAC address of each device connected to each of its ports. The switch uses the information in the MAC address table to send frames destined for a specific device out the port, which has been assigned to that device.

Which of the Following Devices does not Segment a Network?

- Hub is the answer.
