Supplemental Lab or Challenge Activity:<br />

2. Go out to the website for National Semiconductor and download the technical<br />

specifications for Ethernet cards. They are very technical but have some good<br />

information.<br />

So What Have I Learned Here?<br />

You have learned the complicated structures of Ethernet in networking. For your CCNA<br />

the lab on using protocol inspectors it will be easier to understand.<br />
