Which two networking devices forward data based on destination MAC address?
Which two networking devices forward data based on destination MAC address? (Choose two.)
Layer 2: Data Link Layer
The data link layer or layer 2 is the second layer of the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking.
The data link layer provides the functional and procedural means to transfer data between network entities and might provide the means to detect and possibly correct errors that may occur in the physical layer.
The data link layer is concerned with local delivery of frames between devices on the same LAN. Data-link frames, as these protocol data units are called, do not cross the boundaries of a local network. Inter-network routing and global addressing are higher-layer functions, allowing data-link protocols to focus on local delivery, addressing, and media arbitration. This way, the data link layer is analogous to a neighborhood traffic cop; it endeavors to arbitrate between parties contending for access to a medium, without concern for their ultimate destination.
Layer 2 devices base their forwarding decisions on the destination MAC address of data packets
The following shows the different layers that types of hardware work at.
– Network layer: packets (routers)
– Link layer: frames (bridges and switches)
– Physical layer: electrical signals (repeaters and hubs)
Each network interface is associated with a unique address called its media access control (MAC) address. The MAC address helps route information within your local area network and is used by
interconnecting devices such as switches and bridges

Passed the CCNA Data Center DCICN 640-911 exam few days ago with 980/1000. There wasn’t anything new for the 640-911 exam itself, but you need to read and understand all the exam questions’ meaning for at least three times, or you will choose the wrong answers. I practiced PassLeader 640-911 dumps (http://www.passleader.com/640-911.html) for two times before taking, which saved me much time in the real test and finally passed exam! Good!
Hello M.Joseph,
When did you take your DCICN exam? I believe there are new questions came up now for this exam. Please advise if the one in PassLeader dumps is updated. My friend took his exam last 18 December using the 181 questions dumps and he failed.
Thanks in advance.
