1. Ngati atsimikiza kukhala mu gawo lomwelo la netiweki, lipeza mwachindunji adilesi ya MAC ya chipani china kudzera mu Adilesi Yogwirizana ndi Adilesi (ARP), ndiyeno lembani adilesi ya MAC ya chipanicho mu gawo la adilesi ya MAC ya Efaneti. frame mutu, ndi kutumiza uthenga kunja.Kusinthana kwa magawo awiri kumazindikira kulumikizana;

2. Ngati zatsimikiziridwa kukhala mu gawo lina la netiweki, wolandirayo adzagwiritsa ntchito njira yolumikizirana.Wolandirayo amapeza kaye adilesi ya MAC yachipata chokhazikitsidwa kudzera pa ARP, kenako amadzaza adilesi ya MAC pachipata (osati adilesi ya MAC ya wolandila winayo, chifukwa wolandirayo akuganiza kuti wolumikizana nayeyo si wolandila alendo) kupita komwe mukupita ku MAC. gawo la adilesi ya mutu wa chimango cha Efaneti, Tumizani uthenga pachipata, ndikuzindikira kulumikizana kudzera munjira zitatu zosanjikiza.
