Welcome back! It's an exciting time here, with the ONT Study Package coming out later this month and the CCNA Security Study Package release coming up in September.

I've also added CCNA Security practice exam questions to the daily posts, and both CCNA Wireless and CCNA Voice questions will begin on August 1.

Here are the answers to yesterday's questions... enjoy!


Cisco CCENT Exam:

What do the terms "physical address", "MAC address", and "hardware address" have in common?


Answer: They all describe the same thing, a Data Link layer address. The terms "physical address" and "hardware address" refer to the physical impression of the MAC address that exists on the hardware (the Network Interface Card).

CCNA Certification:

In the MAC address 11-22-33-44-55-66, which part of the address identifies the vendor that created the network device with that address? What's the technical name of that part of the address?
