Documenting my network

Practice interpreting MAC address structures, reading hexadecimal notation, understanding IP address categories, and applying knowledge of network devices and address tables.

This practice set covers AP Networking Unit 2.2 — network addressing and device identification. Questions will ask you to interpret scenarios involving:

• Identifying the OUI and device identifier within a MAC address
• Distinguishing between network nodes and hosts (endpoints)
• Converting between decimal and hexadecimal values
• Recognizing the three MAC address notation formats
• Understanding how a switch uses the CAM table to forward frames
• Identifying IP address types: private, public, APIPA, and loopback
• Comparing MAC and IP addressing and their respective roles
