Objectives
Explain the role of Data Link layer protocols in data transmission.
Describe how the Data Link layer prepares data for transmission
on network media.
Describe the different types of media access control methods.
Identify several common logical network topologies and describe
how the logical topology determines the media access control
method for that network.
Explain the purpose of encapsulating packets into frames to
facilitate media access.
Describe the Layer 2 frame structure and identify generic fields.
Explain the role of key frame header and trailer fields including
addressing, QoS, type of protocol and Frame Check Sequence.
