Which of the following statements about the frame are correct? (Choose two)

• D. Its upper layer protocol is IPX

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct answer is A and C because a Type/Length field value of 0x0800 indicates that the frame is using the Ethernet_II format and that the upper layer protocol is IP. Option B is incorrect as 802.3 does not use this field value, and option D is wrong since IPX is not indicated by the 0x0800 value.
