802.2
yes. thougth the nic is a layer 1 device its mac address is used in datalink layer
Layer 2 is divided into the LLC and MAC sublayers.
The MAC sublayer is part of Layer 2 - Data Link Layer - but it is more correct to say that the MAC address is the physical address.
Layer 1 of the OSI Layer Model does not support MAC addresses.
It is divided into LLC (IEEE 802.2) and MAC (IEEE 802.3) layers.The LLC is used to identify the upper layer protocol from the received data.The MAC layer is used to identify the particular host on the destination network.
A MAC address
The OSI model's data link layer is divided into two sublayers: the Logical Link Control (LLC) and the Media Access Control (MAC) layers. The LLC layer manages communication between devices on a network, while the MAC layer controls access to the physical network medium.
That is considered part of layer 2.That is considered part of layer 2.That is considered part of layer 2.That is considered part of layer 2.
Network Interface Layer
in the osi model data link layer is adds source & destination mac address to frames
Data Link Layer...
