While inspecting packets in the network, a network administrator discovers a frame with the destination MAC address of 01-00-5E-A0-B1-C3.
What can the administrator determine from this?
While inspecting packets in the network, a network administrator discovers a frame with the destination MAC address of 01-00-5E-A0-B1-C3.
What can the administrator determine from this?
The MAC address is a multicast address. MAC addresses that begin with 01-00-5E are designated for IPv4 multicast addresses. This range is officially allocated for multicast purposes, signifying groups of devices rather than individual devices (unicast) or all devices (broadcast).
I think that is wrong Range of multicast from 01-00-5E-00-00-00 until 01-00-5E-7F-FF-FF And 01-00-5E-A0 is out of bound
Yeah true, multicast range is 01-00-5E-00-00-00 through 01-00-5E-7F-FF-FF, 7F is less than A0 so it goes out of scope.
XXXXXXX1 refers to a multicast MAC address
So, the correct answer is C?
yes, the correct answer is C
EA is the 234 address
