ethertype

Which part of an Ethernet frame detects errors in the frame?

frame check sequence

Which two functions or operations are performed by the MAC sublayer? (Choose two.)

it adds a header and trailer to form an OSI layer 2 PDU it is responsible for media access control

Which function or operation is performed by the LLC sublayer?

it communicates with upper protocol layers

Which two characteristics describe Ethernet technology? (Choose two.)

it uses uniqe MAC addresses to ensure that data is sent to the appropriate destination it is supported by IEEE 802.3 standards

What will a host on an Ethernet network do if it receives a frame with a unicast destination MAC address that does not match its own MAC address?

it will discard the frame

Which network device makes forwarding decisions based on the destination MAC address that is contained in the frame?

switch

What happens to runt frames received by a Cisco Ethernet switch?

the frame is dropped

What addressing information is recorded by a switch to build its MAC address table?

switch
