A. The restaurant review contains data but is not data itself.
I'm sorry if that's wrong, but that seems right to me.
Answer:
MAC Addresses (Destination and Source MAC address)
Explanation:
A switch has 3 primary functions:
- Forward frames
- Learn addresses
- Avoid loops
An Ethernet frame has the header, data and trailer and there are two specific fields in the header that helps the switch to know where to send data in future transmissions.
- destination MAC address
- source MAC address
every Ethernet frame has this and when the frame hits a switch or any device, any device can look at it ( an Ethernet frame ) and know where it is suppose to go and where it came from.
Every switch has a MAC address table where it stores MAC addresses of different computers on the network.
Example:
When a PC1 sends a frame to PC2 through a switch, the switch looks at the header of the Ethernet frame for the source mac address and adds the source MAC address to its MAC address table and also the port that it came through.
simply put:
A switch looks at the source MAC address to see if it knows it already, if it does. Great! no need to add it again to it's address table.
If it doesn't, it adds it's source address and the port that the frame came from.
This basically how the switch populates its MAC address table.
Use the following rules:
- The sum of currents that enter and exit a node (junction) is always zero. So if you have 3 wires that connect, through one flows 2A, the other 3A, then the third must deliver 5A (taking the direction into account!)
- The sum of voltages across different components should always add up. So if you have a battery of 10V with two unknown resistors, and over one of the resistors is 4V, you know the other one has the remaining 6V.
- With resistors, V=I*R must hold.
With these basic rules you should get a long way!
