Can someone help me with these questions?

an ARP request

A) is sent in an IP broadcast packet to all nodes on every network
B) is only sent to the router on a network
C) is sent to all nodes on a local network via a broadcast frame
D) is sent in a unicast frame

Ethernet can be

A) star topology
B) bus topology
C) ring topology
D) answers A and B only

A MAC address

A) is 48 bits long
B) is assigned by the network administrator
C) is represented in the form w.x.y.z with each part being 0-255
D) is 32 bits long

Sending an IP packet to a node on another network

A) requires a router
B) the destination IP address is the IP address of the final destination
C) the destination MAC address is the router's MAC address
D) all of the above

Token ring protocol

A) is better and faster than Ethernet
B) network nodes pass the token and only transmit data when they have the token
C) is the same as Ethernet
D) is generally organized as a star topology

A MAC address is

A) the same as an IP address
B) something that is configured by the network administrator
C) an address that goes with cheese
D) a data link layer addresses

Address Resolution Protocol

A) uses the BGP protocol to record MAC addresses in the router
B) matches and links MAC addresses to IP addresses
C) assigns MAC addresses to network cards using the DHCP protocol
D) requires network administrators to build a MAC to IP table for the network

A switch builds and maintains

A) switch forwarding table - a list of all MAC addresses on each network segment
B) routing table - a list of all of the IP addresses on each network segment
C) a list of all network users
D) the ARP table for the entire network

A layer 2 packet is called

A) an ethernet
B) a datagram
C) a frame
D) a packet

CSMA/CD

A) allows for multiple nodes to share the same connection media
B) is used for Ethernet
C) allows for devices on the network to resolve their own collisions
D) all of the answers above are correct

Explanation / Answer

an ARP request

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) broadcasts a request packet in a special format to all the machines on the LAN.

Hence, the correct option is C)

Ethernet can be

Ethernet can be flexible with two topologies (bus or star).

Hence, the correct option is D)

A MAC address

A media access control (MAC) 48 bits long data link layer address

Hence, the correct option is A)

Sending an IP packet to a node on another network

It requires a router and the destination IP addresses in the IP address of the final destination and the destination MAC address is the router's MAC address.

Hence, the correct option is D)

Token ring protocol

Hence, the correct option is B)

A MAC address is

MAC (media access control) addresses function at the data link layer (layer 2 in the OSI model). They allow computers to uniquely identify themselves on a network.

Hence, the correct option is D)

Address Resolution Protocol

The protocol operates below the network layer as a part of the interface between the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) network and OSI link layer.

Hence, the correct option is B)

A switch builds and maintains

Switch forwarding table and maintains a list of all MAC addresses on each network segment

Hence, the correct option is A)

A layer 2 packet is called

The data link layer is concerned with local delivery of frames between devices on the same LAN. Data-link frames

Hence, the correct option is C)

CSMA/CD

Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection allows for devices on the network to resolve their own collisions allows for multiple nodes to share the same connection media is used for Ethernet.

Hence, the correct option is D)
