Which statement describes a characteristic of the frame header fields of the data link layer?

They vary depending on protocols.

Match the description with the media. (Not all options are used.)

UTP cables are used in wired office environments. Coaxial cables are used to connect cable modems and televisions. Fiber optics are used for high transmission speeds and to transfer data over long distances. STP cables are used in environments where there is a lot of interference.

Match each type of frame field to its function. (Not all options are used.)

error detection - This field checks if the frame has been damaged during the transfer.The second answer is not used. addressing - This field helps to direct the frame toward its destination. frame start - This field identifies the beginning of a frame. type - This field is used by the LLC to identify the Layer 3 protocol.
