Describe the destination address of an Ethernet frame.

What will be an ideal response?


This is the destination MAC address of the station that is to receive the frame. Every Ethernet device manufactured (NIC, router) contains a unique 48-bit MAC address assigned by the manufacturer. An example of a MAC address is 00-C0-F0-27-64-E2. The first 24 bits are the manufacturer code (00-C0-F0 is Kingston). The last 24 bits are chosen by the manufacturer. The WINIPCFG utility in Windows 9X, IPCONFIG in other versions of Windows, or IFCONFIG in Linux/Unix can be used to determine the MAC address (called the adapter address). A MAC address of FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF (all 1s) is reserved for use as a broadcast address.
