What are the two parts of an IPX address?
4-byte network address and 6-byte node address (MAC address)
What are the 3 methods of mapping network addresses to MAC addresses?
ARP, Hello protocol, & predicatable MAC addressing
What does an IP host do when it needs to find the MAC address of a local host?
it sends an ARP request
What layer does the Hello protocol operate at?
the Network layer
How does the Hello protocol work?
hosts periodically broadcast their MAC address
How does predictable MAC addressing work?
the MAC address of the host is embedded in the network address
What three protocols use predictable MAC addressing?
Xerox Network Service (XNS), Novell IPX, & DECnet
What two types of packets do routers send?
data packets and route update packets

the Physical layer
What layer do Channel Service Units/Data Service Units (CSU/DSU's) operate at?
the Physical layer
Where is Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) usually located?
at the client end
What are Client Service Units/Data Service Units (CSU/DSU's) used for?
accessing DTE services
What are three reasons for using a layered model?
ease of troubleshooting; standard interface; and industry specialization
