In promiscuous mode, the NIC allows all frames through, so even frames intended for other machines or network devices can be read. But, in non-promiscuous mode, when the NIC receives a frame, it drops it unless it is addressed to its specificmedia access control addressor is a broadcast or...
Re: What is meant by promiscuous mode ? Hello again... To answer your other questions... Setting a NIC to promisc doesn't really increase the risk of hacking, although it could be used by a local user to 'see' other server's traffic (clear text password etc) when used in conjuncti...
By default, a NIC ignores all traffic that is not addressed to it, which is done by comparing the destination address of the Ethernet packet with the hardware address (a.k.a. MAC) of the device. While this makes perfect sense for networking, non-promiscuous mode makes it difficult to ...
If a packet is sent with an incorrect destination Media Access Control (MAC) Address that doesn't match any devices on the network segment, it will typically be discarded by all devices except for those running in promiscuous mode which captures all traffic including traffic that was not intende...

However, in the case of a sniffer, all traffic is shared when the sniffer software commands the Network Interface Card (NIC) to stop ignoring the traffic. The NIC is put into promiscuous mode, and it reads communications between computers within a particular segment. This allows the sniffer ...
This may be a stupid question, but what is the purpose of being able to pause a VM? Is it mainly for snapshotting? One main question I have is: what is the normal/recommended procedure for VM's when you need to restart the host server for, say, updates or something? Is it ...
(NIC), especially when it operated as an expansion plugged into a particular workstation. It may also be referred to as a network interface controller or a network card. All of these types of devices connect a computer to a network, which is the fundamental definition of the network adapter...
path. With jumbo packets there are fewer total packets, resulting in fewer packets overall. This means that each device doesn't need to spend as long to inspect the packets. Due to high-speedCPUsand network interface card (NIC) offloading, this is no longer a major concern in most cases....
You can configure multiple port ACLs for a Hyper-V switch port. During operations, the port ACL whose rules match the incoming or outgoing packet is used to determine whether the packet is allowed or denied. For example, to configure the virtual NIC attached to a port to always use either...
