Question

Convert following hexadecimal to binary (a) 4a56 (b) ef6a (c) b70c Determine if MAC address of d7: 0e: 4f: 09-1b: 30 is set as global or local. Why? What is the major difference between IP and Data-link layer address? Use an analogy of name and address as discussed in class. What is the difference between Ethernet and 802.3 in frame format? For the bit stream of 110100, write it in the order of MSB and LSB. What protocols use MSB? What about LSB? Provide at least 3 features in Point-to-Point Protocol. Why the number of stations is limited in LAN or why it is not recommended to add the stations as many as you want? Compare simple and stop-and-wait flow control and discuss about their reliability. Explain how the stop-and-wait flow control can recover the lost packets.

Explanation / Answer

Ans:

1)

a)hexadecimal number: 4a56

4- 0100

a- 1010 (10)

5-0101

6- 0110

final binary number is (0100101001010110)2

b) ef6a

e- 1110(14)

f-1111(15)

6- 0110

a- 1010(10)

final binary value (1110111101101010)2

C) b70c

b-1011(11)

7- 0111

0- 0000

c- 1100(12)

final binary value is (1011011100001100)2

2)

MAC Address is Universal

mac address d7:0e:4f:09:1b:30

first octet: d7: 1011 0111

second bit of d7 from rightside represent universal or local, if the bit 1 it is universal otherwise it is local

5)

given binary number is 110100,

MSB is always leftmost one -1

LSB is always rightmost one -0
