Same for: 13.1.4 Check Your Understanding – MAC and IP
1. What destination MAC address would be included in a frame sent from a source device to a destination device on the same local network?
- A broadcast MAC address of FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF.
- The MAC address of the destination device.
- The MAC address of the local router interface.
Explanation: When sending a frame to another device on the same local network, the device sending the frame will use the MAC address of the destination device.
2. What destination MAC address would be included in a frame sent from a source device to a destination device on a remote local network?
- A broadcast MAC address of FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF.
- The MAC address of the destination device.
- The MAC address of the local router interface.
Explanation: When sending a frame to another device on a remote network, the device sending the frame will use the MAC address of the local router interface, which is the default gateway.
3. What two protocols are used to determine the MAC address of a known destination device IP address (IPv4 and IPv6)?
- DHCP
- ARP
- DNS
- ND
Explanation: Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used to determine the device MAC address of a known destination device IPv4 address. Neighbor Discovery (ND) is used to determine the MAC address of a known destination device IPv6 address.
