d. What is the Vendor ID (OUI) of the Source’s NIC?
e. What portion of the MAC address is the OUI?
f. What is the Source’s NIC serial number?
a. All hosts on the LAN will receive this broadcast frame. The host with the IP address of 192.168.1.1
(default gateway) will send a unicast reply to the source (PC host). This reply contains the MAC addressof the NIC of the Default Gateway.
b. Before the PC can send a ping request to a host, it needs to determine the destination MAC address before it can build the frame header for that ping request. The ARP broadcast is used to request the MAC address of the host with the IP address contained in the ARP.
c. f4:8c:50:62:62:6d
