Study Notes
Displaying MAC Address in Linux
- The
ip link show
command can be used to display the MAC address of the Ethernet network interface card in Linux.
Network Cards
- Network cards are considered smart devices because they have their own processing power and can perform tasks independently.
Detection of Corrupted Frames
- The correct order of steps involved in the detection of a corrupted frame at the Data Link layer is:
-
- FCS (Frame Check Sequence) calculation
-
- FCS comparison
-
- Error detection
-
- Error correction
-
- Frame discard
-
- Retransmission
-
- Notification
-
Ethernet Frame Structure
- The correct order of parts within an Ethernet frame is:
-
- Preamble
-
- SFD (Start Frame Delimiter)
-
- Destination MAC address
-
- Source MAC address
-
- EtherType
-
- Payload
-
- FCS (Frame Check Sequence)
-
- The Source MAC address in an Ethernet frame consists of 6 bytes.
Network Protocols
- Token Ring belongs to the LAN (Local Area Network) category in terms of network protocol access.
- WiFi belongs to the WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) category in terms of network protocol access.
CSMA/CD Protocol
- The role of CSMA/CD protocol in Ethernet is to handle collisions by:
- Stopping transmission
- Backing off
- Retrying transmission
ARP Process
- The step in the ARP process that involves sending a broadcast to the network is the ARP request.
Ethernet Frame Modification
- The Ethernet frame header is modified at each router as a Data Link frame moves through an internetwork to update the source MAC address.
IP Address
- The main purpose of an IP address in a networked computer is to provide a unique identifier for the device on the network.
- IPv4 addresses are normally represented in dotted decimal notation (e.g., 192.0.2.1).
DHCP Server
- The role of a DHCP server is to dynamically assign IP addresses and other network settings to devices on a network.
- The lease time in the context of DHCP servers is the duration of time for which a device is assigned an IP address.
Mandatory IP Settings
- The three mandatory IP settings a machine needs to access remote web sites are:
- IP address
- Subnet mask
- Default gateway
DNS Server
- The role of the local DNS server on an IP network is to resolve hostnames to IP addresses.
IP Network Address
- The IP network address of a computer can be determined by performing a bitwise AND operation on the IPv4 address and subnet mask.
CIDR
- CIDR stands for Classless Inter-Domain Routing in relation to subnet masks.
MAC Address in Data Link
- If the Network layer settings suggest the source and destination computers of a web interaction are on different networks, the Data Link uses the MAC address of the router as the source and destination of the transmission.
