Final answer:
The question asks about the components of an Ethernet frame, and all options given (Type, Frame check sequence, Destination MAC address, Source MAC address) are components of an Ethernet frame. Thus, the correct answer is 'None' as all listed are part of an Ethernet frame.
Step-by-step explanation:
The components of an Ethernet frame include various sections of data, each with a specific purpose within the network communication process. When looking at the options provided - Type, Frame check sequence (FCS), Destination MAC address, and Source MAC address - all are indeed components of an Ethernet frame. Therefore, the correct answer to which of the following is not a component of an Ethernet frame is a. None.
- Type - This field indicates the protocol being encapsulated by the Ethernet frame, such as IPv4 or IPv6.
- Frame check sequence (FCS) - This is a form of error checking used to ensure that frames are transmitted without corruption.
- Destination MAC address - This is the unique identifier for the intended recipient of the frame on the network.
- Source MAC address - This is the unique identifier for the sender of the frame on the network.
