Q: Which layer does Ethernet operate on, and what about certain wireless technologies?
- The network layer
- The data link layer
- The physical layer
- The transport layer
Explanation: The OSI model has two layers, and the second one is called the Data Link layer. Ethernet standards and certain wireless technologies operate on this layer. This layer is often referred to as the Network Interface layer when discussing the TCP/IP concept and its environment. At this layer, framing, addressing, and access to the physical transmission medium are commonly handled by Ethernet for wired networks and wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi. Ethernet is used for wired networks.
