Bit swapping? [7:7602]

2001-06-07 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bit swapping? Could some please explain bit swapping to me? I have been
studying for my CCIE written and I have a practice test with a bit swapping
question. I don't understand there explanation.


the question goes like this.

Assume host T sends a frame to host E, what is the source MAC address as it
would be represented on the Ethernet segment



HOST E  Ethernet RouterB(SR/TLB)-token ringHOST T

HOST T MAC 0110.1234.5678
HOST E MAC 0060.09c3.df60
Ethernet address of RouterB 0060.09d3.df60
Token Ring interface RouterB 0110.1256.8765

A.) 8008.482c.6ale
B.) 0110.1234.5678
C.) 0060.09c3.df60
D.) 0110.1256.8765
E.) 0060.09c3.df60


The practice test says the answer is A

Why?

ah, the rossi token ring paper covers this in detail.

Bit swapping threw me too until you realize it's byte swapping..

Say you have a partial MAC address of:
A325 62E0  
That would equal this in binary:
1010 0011 =A3 0010 0101= 25 0110 0010= 62 1110 = E0
To do bit swapping or LSB it would change to:
1100 0101 =C5 1010 0100= A4 0100 0110= 46  0111= 07

Hope that helps!
