AMAC address(Media Access Control address) is a 48-bit identifier typically expressed in six groups of two hexadecimal digits (e.g., 00-20-60-CE-2B-28). It consists of two key parts:

OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier)– The first24 bits(or first 3 octets, e.g., 00-20-60) are assigned by theIEEE to hardware manufacturers. This identifies the vendor or manufacturer.

Device Identifier (NIC Specific)– The remaining24 bits(e.g., CE-2B-28) are assigned uniquely by the vendor to each device/interface.

So in the address 00-20-60-CE-2B-28:

00-20-60 is theOUI

CE-2B-28 is thedevice-specific portion

Thus, the correct answer isD. 00-20-60.

Ahubis aphysical layer (Layer 1)networking device used to connect multiple Ethernet devices in a network. Unlike switches or routers, hubs donot inspect or process frame headers. Instead, they perform a simple task:

Receive a signal (electrical or optical) on one port

Replicate that signal identically to all other ports

This means the hubdoes not examine Layer 2 (MAC addresses) or Layer 3 (IP addresses)and doesnot perform intelligent forwarding. It merelybroadcasts all incoming traffic to every other connected device, often resulting inhigh collision domainsand poor efficiency.

Option Adescribes arepeater, not a hub.

Option Cdescribes aswitch(Layer 2 device).

Option Ddescribes arouter(Layer 3 device).

Option Bis correct: A hub does not inspect headers and replicates traffic blindly.

Abroadcast domainis a logical division of a network in which all nodes can reach each other with broadcast frames (Layer 2). Devices within the same broadcast domain receive broadcast packets sent by others.

In the diagram:

Multiple users connect tohubs.

Hubs are Layer 1 devices anddo not break broadcast domains. They simply replicate incoming electrical signals to all ports.

Hubs are then connected toswitches.

Switches, unless VLANs are configured,forward broadcasts to all ports except the incoming one, effectively keeping all devices in the same broadcast domain.

The two switches are connected together without VLAN segmentation.

Therefore:

The entire LAN depicted isa single Layer 2 broadcast domain.

There areno routers or VLANsto break or separate the domain.
