20
Q

When a computer starts up, what is the first thing the nic does?

A

it copies the MAC address from ROM to RAM

21
Q

Which sublayer does each NIC in the network view the information?

A

NICs work at the MAC sublayer

22
Q

What are the 2 styles of Ethernet framing?

A
  1. IEEE 802.3 2. The DIX Ethernet standard (Ethernet II)
23
Q

Which frame format is used in TCP/IP networks?

A

Ethernet II

24
Q

What is the difference of the 2 different ethernet frame formats?

A

802.3 adds the Start Frame Delimiter and changes the type field to the length field
