Ethernet : Framing and Addressing
802.2
802.2 frame 802.3 Ethernet frame cannot by itself
identify the upper-layer (Network) protocol The IEEE defined the 802.2 LLC (Logical
Link Control) specifications to provide this function and more.
An 802.2 frame is an 802.3 frame with the LLC information in the data field of the header so we know what the upper-layer protocol is.
SNAP
SNAP (SubNetwork Access Protocol) frame The SNAP frame has its own protocol field to
identify the upper-layer protocol This is really a way to allow an Ethernet_II
Ether-Type field to be used in an 802.3 frame SNAP frame can be identified easily because
the DSAP and SSAP fields are always AA, and the Command field is always 3.

MAC Address
Types of Ethernet Addresses
Ethernet addresses, also frequently called MAC addresses, are 6 bytes in length, typically listed in hexadecimal form
There are three main types of Ethernet address
LAN Transmission Methods Unicast Process
Unicast Process•The source addresses the packet with the destination address•The packet is sent into the network•The destination receives the packet
LAN Transmission MethodsMulticast Process
Multicast Process•The source addresses the packet using a multicast address•The packet is sent into the network•A copy is delivered to each destination that is included in the multicast address
LAN Transmission MethodsBroadcast Process
Broadcast Process•The source addresses the packet with the broadcast address•The packet is sent into the network•The packet copies are delivered to all destinations
Ethernet Address Formats
The IEEE intends for unicast addresses to be unique in the universe by administering the assignment of MAC addresses
The IEEE assigns each vendor a code to use as the first 3 bytes of its MAC addresses; that first half of the addresses is called the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI)
The IEEE expects each manufacturer to use its OUI for the first 3 bytes of the MAC assigned to any Ethernet product created by that vendor
The vendor then assigns a unique value in the low-order 3 bytes for each Ethernet card that it manufactures—thereby ensuring global uniqueness of MAC addresses
Ethernet Address Formats
I/G = individual/Group bitU/L = Universal/Local bit
Broadcast Domains In an Ethernet LAN, a set of devices that receive
a broadcast sent by any one of the devices in the same set is called a broadcast domain
A switch simply forwards all broadcasts out all interfaces, except the interface on which it received the frame
As a result, all the interfaces on an individual switch are in the same broadcast domain
Also, if the switch connects to other switches and hubs, the interfaces on those switches and hubs are also in the same broadcast domain

Switch Operation
There are three primary operating modes used to handle frame switching: Cut-through Store-and-
forward Fragment Free

Switch Operation
Virtual LAN (VLAN) A VLAN is simply an administratively defined subset
of switch ports that are in the same broadcast domain
Ports can be grouped into different VLANs on a single switch, and on multiple interconnected switches as well
By creating multiple VLANs, the switches create multiple broadcast domains
By doing so, a broadcast sent by a device in one VLAN is forwarded to the other devices in that same VLAN; however, the broadcast is not forwarded to devices in the other VLANs
Layer 2 switches forward frames between devices in the same VLAN, but they do not forward frames between two devices in different VLANs
