Objectives Explain the role of Data Link layer protocols in data transmission.

Describe how the Data Link layer prepares data for transmissionon network media.

Describe the different types of media access control methods.

Identify several common logical network topologies and describehow the logical topology determines the media access controlmethod for that network.

Explain the purpose of encapsulating packets into frames tofacilitate media access.

Describe the Layer 2 frame structure and identify generic fields.

Explain the role of key frame header and trailer fields includingaddressing, QoS, type of protocol and Frame Check Sequence.
