Understanding How PCs Determine Destination MAC Addresses in Networking Scenarios

Launch PT Hide and Save PTOpen the PT Activity. Perform the tasks in the activity instruction and then answer the question.What destination address will PC1 include in the destination address field of the Ethernet frame that it sends to PC2?

In order to provide a detailed answer to this question, I would need more information about the specific activity and context you are referring to.

Without this information, it is difficult to provide an accurate answer.

However, in a typical networking scenario, PC1 would include the destination MAC address of PC2 in the destination address field of the Ethernet frame.

The MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces, and it is used to identify the specific device on the local network.

To determine the destination MAC address of PC2, PC1 would typically send an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) request.

The ARP request is broadcasted on the local network, asking for the MAC address associated with the IP address of PC2. Once PC1 receives a response with the MAC address of PC2, it uses this address as the destination address in the Ethernet frame.

Again, without more specific information about the activity you are referring to, it is difficult to provide an answer. If you can provide more details or the context of the activity, I would be happy to give a more accurate response.
