Title: RE: Ethernet Frame Remember that frames are a Layer 2 entity; they aren't aware of network addressing. All a frame knows or cares about is how to reach the next device. That being the case, Host B would see the source MAC address of the local router. IP and other Layer 3 addresses

To my knowledge serial links don't have a MAC address. Since most of them are either a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint there are some other type of mappings. If a serial port needs a MAC address it usuall uses one from another interface that has one (i.e. ethernet). Neil ""Martinez, Carlos""

It would not be an Ethernet Frame. It would be a PPP or HDLC or FR frame. The router would strip off the Ethernet frame and router it across the Serial Link using a new frame type based on the encapsulation method. There are no MAC addresses. -- Kevin L. Kultgen ""Martinez, Carlos
