Question

If a device receives an Ethernet frame of 60 bytes, what will it do?

1. drop the frame
2. process the frame as it is
3. send an error message to the sending device
4. add random data bytes to make it 64 bytes long and then forward it

Answer 1

If a device receives an Ethernet frame of 60 bytes, it will process the frame as it is.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a device receives an Ethernet frame of 60 bytes, it will process the frame as it is. Ethernet frames have a minimum length requirement of 64 bytes, so the device will not drop the frame or add random data bytes to make it 64 bytes long. Additionally, it will not send an error message to the sending device.
