Which Two Factors Influence The Method That Is Used For Media Access Control? (Choose Two.)

When the device is connected to the network, they have the assigned MAC address it is the physical address of the devices. It is for the identification which is allocated to the NIC and allows the communication among the segments in a network.

MAC address is determined with the methods in the different devices such as Linux, windows, etc., while some of the factors influenced these methods and we will also give the knowledge about the factors in the following topic that’s why to stay connected to the end.

MAC (Media access control )

The MAC address is present or use in the OSI model and it is the sublayer of the data link layer. They are presented as the hexadecimal digit of the six groups which are either separated by the hyphens, colon, or without any separator as well. The MAC address is not so very difficult to determine.

An address is allocated by the manufactures of the devices and they are written on the network interface card since they are unique which means they are constant and cannot be changed. To connect with the local network the MAC Address is quite necessary when the router is detected by the device so a signal is initiate by the MAC address for connection, after this the IP address is assigned by the router to our device so that the internet allowed in the connection. The nodes like routers or switches have different MAC addresses on the same network, but the two NICs of two different network connections have the same MAC address as well.

How to find MAC address on different platforms?

The MAC address on different platforms is determined with different methods some of them for window are given in the following:

Methods 1:

• Point the cursor on the START a type ncpa. cpl on the search box and press enter.
• On the network connection click on the LAN icon or the WIFI or any other wireless network.
• On the window push the detail and on the appeared window you will see your device’s physical address.

Method 2:

• Click on the start and then on run.
• Open the cmd.
• Write the config /all (on vista and window 7 types ipconfig /all | more).
• The MAC address is display and it is like 00-15-B9-3E-88-4D. The physical address for each device is different.

Which factors influence the methods used in the Media access control?

The MAC method is depending on how on the data link layer the connection between the node appears and how the media shares on the nodes. These two influences the MAC. The type of data generated by the end devices, signals encrypted by the NIC on end devices, and the transfer method of the IP protocol do not have any influence on the methods choices of the MAC methods.
