Que 1.

The answer is A, preamble. At an Ethernet frame, the preamble is critical to getting the

recipient's time in sync. This is made up of a certain pattern of bits which assists the network

interface chip (NIC) which is getting the data to sync its own inner clock in the data stream. The

synchronization process is essential so that the NIC is capable of understanding every bit of data

going into it. This helps to make sure the information is able to flow reliably over Ethernet

connections.

Que 2

48 bits is the right answer. Every network component has a distinct 48-bit address, thereby

making sure that Ethernet networks possess a lot of various names. It is an important part of

Ethernet conjunction and assists in transferring data around a local area network (LAN).

Que 3

The OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier), comprised of the first 24 bits (6 hexadecimal

characters) of a MAC address, tells you who made or gave the MAC address. As an the given

MAC address, "E8BA.7011.2874," the OUI is "E8BA.70."So, the most correct answer is B,

which is E8BA.70.

Que 4

The right response is C, Source MAC Address. This happens because when a switch receives a

frame, it scans its source MAC address to see which device is connected to a particular switch

port. The router then links the original MAC address to the interface on which the frame arrived

in its MAC address database. This procedure will help the switch reach more intelligent

decisions about sending in future requests.

Que 5

An unknown unicast, option A is the right answer. While a switch gets a frame with an

"unknown" unicast going after the MAC address, this doesn't know which of the ports the target

device is linked to. So, to make assured the frame reaches where it needs to go, the switch will

forward it out through all ports except the one that it came from. This is called "broadcasting" or

"flooding." It additionally ensures that the frame gets headed to the right place as well as lets the

switch find the relevant mapping among the MAC address of the source and the port where the

message arrived so that future messages can arrive at the correct location.

Que 6

These are filler bytes, so B is the right choice. The lengthy string of 00000000 bytes at the

conclusion of the Ethernet packet constitutes the padding bytes. While ping packets are

transmitted, padding bytes are included if their sizes are smaller than the required Ethernet

payload dimensions, which is usually 46 bytes in Ethernet frames. The extra bytes are populated

with zeros to make sure the data frame is at least as big as it needs to be for a network of things

transfers to function properly.

Que 7

ARP proposal is the right answer. The study ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) Request is sent

to every device in the local network so as to find out which MAC address goes with a specific IP

address. The message that follows makes sure all of the hosts on the current network get the

request and are able to reply if they are linked via the desired IP address. ARP Requests are

utilized in Ethernet networks to convert Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to MAC addresses.

Que 8
 6

The answer is C, VLAN, MAC address, type, as well as ports. This "show mac address-table"

query on a router made by Cisco normally shows the VLAN, MAC address, type (dynamic or

static), and ports that go with the earned MAC addresses. This data helps network admins

identify each entry in the MAC address database as well as the switch features that go with them.

Que no 9

The correct answer is A, broadcast, and unidentified unicast. A device that sends "broadcast" as

well as "unknown unicast" frames in all ports except the one where the frame arrived. Broadcast

frames serve as placeholders for any device in the broadcast area. In order to make sure they

contact all devices, the switch fills for them. Obscure unicast frames have target MAC addresses

that don't appear in the switch's table of MAC addresses, so the switching device also transmits

them.

Que 10

The right answer is D, clean mac address-table dynamically interface interface-id>. The above

command is used to eliminate all dynamically learned MAC numbers from the MAC address

table for a particular port on a Cisco switch. That gets rid of the dynamically acquired MAC

addresses for the provided interface. This allows it to reset and update the MAC address details

for the interface in question.

Summary

The video is a component of a free CCNA 200-301 training at Jeremy's IT Lab. In this lab, if one

PC pings a different on an internet connection with two switches and four PCs, the teacher

demonstrates how network communication works. Essential concepts to acquire are why to use

ARP requests and replies to find MAC addresses and how switches learn MAC addresses on the

fly. The video shows you how to switch between Ethernet LANs and set up networks so that you

can get your CCNA certification.

There are two What I learned from the speaker:

PC1 needs to know PC3's MAC address beforehand it may issue a ping to it. The process begins

when PC1 transmits an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) request. With this instance of PC1,

the ARP query is a spread message which all machines on the local network get. PC3 issues an

ARP return, and these is a one-to-one message that only PC1 obtains. PC1 can get PC3's MAC

address from the exchange and continue with the ping.

Switches acquire and modify their MAC Address Table depending on the source codes of the

frames they receive. The instructor shows you how to utilize the "show mac address-table"

command on switches SW1 and SW2 to get the MAC addresses of each connected PC. The

information that is given makes it easier to grasp how switches learn or handle MAC IDs in a

network.

In general, the video gives practical training and useful information about networking topics like

Ethernet LAN switching, ARP, and computer address table administration within the context of a

CCNA certification.
