Jeremy's IT Labs CCNA Ethernet LAN Switching (Part 1) Day 5

A [...] frame is a frame destined for a single target

unicast

A MAC address is written as [...] hexadecimal characters

12

A MAC address learned by a switch without manual configuration is called a ...

Dynamic MAC address (Dynamically learned MAC address)

A switch will flood an [...] unicast frame.

unknown

A value of [...] or greater in the Type/Length field indicates Type.

1536

A value of [...] or less in the Type/Length field indicates Length.

1500

By default, a dynamic MAC address will be removed from the MAC address table after [time] of inactivity.

Frame Check Sequence

What does 'SFD' in an Ethernet header stand for?

Start Frame Delimiter

What does a switch do with an unknown unicast frame?

Floods it out all ports (except the one it was received on)

What kind of algorithm does the Ethernet FCS use?

CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check)

Which field of an Ethernet frame does a switch use to learn and populate its MAC address table?

Source MAC Address

Which field of an Ethernet header is used for synchronization?

Preamble

Which field of an Ethernet header marks the end of the preamble?
