ς� The source address in the frame header is the broadcast address.

ς� The source address in the frame is a multicast address.

ς� to identify the network address of the destination network

Refer to the exhibit. On the basis of the output, which two statements about network connectivity are correct? (Choose two.)

ς� There is connectivity between this device and the device at 192.168.100.1.
