Lab 5: Ethernet LANS
Exercise 5.1.1
The IEEE standards cover more than just Ethernet. The 802.3 standard actually builds upon the 802.1 network architecture standard from IEEE. Briefly define the 802.1 standard and what it provides. Use your textbook and the Internet to research your answer. A: The 802.1 standards provide LAN/MAN management. The 802.1 standards where created by the close of the 1970’s.
Exercise 5.1.2
The 802.3 family of standards has the format 802.3x where x is a sequence of letters specifying the new standards added to the 802.3 base standard. One of the enhancements to Ethernet is Power over Ethernet (PoE), in which Ethernet cable can provide power to remote, low-power devices that are not near an electrical outlet. …show more content…

Who is the manufacturer for your NIC? What information is given about the manufacturer? You can see an example record returned from this site in Figure 5-5.

Exercise 5.2.5
You can view your IP address for a NIC (or network adapter) by double-clicking one of the available connections in the Network Connections window (accessible from the Control Panel) and selecting the Support tab, just as you did when you were finding your MAC address. This information is also given in the Details window where you found the MAC address. What is the IP address of your NIC or network adapter? What is the IP address listed for your default gateway? A: NIC IP Address: 10.136.108.62 Default gateway IP: 10.136.110.1

Exercise 5.2.6
Use your textbook and the Internet to determine the communication steps in an ARP Request and Response. What steps are involved and how is each message sent (broadcast to all devices or unicast to a single device)?
1. Based on the interface and the forwarding IP address, ARP consults the appropriate ARP cache for an entry for the forwarding IP address. If an entry is found, ARP skips to step 6.

2. If the entry is not found, ARP builds an ARP Request frame containing the MAC address of the interface sending the ARP Request, the IP address of the interface sending the ARP Request, and the forwarding IP address. ARP then broadcasts the ARP Request using the appropriate interface.
