Nope, just the PC and the switches!

I thought the server would also do encapsulation?

Wait, are we sure about the router?

I agree, Switch-1 is key for that!

The PC and Switch-1 definitely did Layer 2 encapsulation.

I’m leaning towards Switch-1 and Switch-2 for sure. They handle the frames, right? But I’m not 100% confident about the server.

I'm a bit confused. I feel like the router might not do Layer 2 encapsulation since it operates at Layer 3.

I remember a practice question where the switch was involved in Layer 2 encapsulation. I think both switches here might be the right answers.

I think the PC definitely performs Layer 2 encapsulation, but I'm not sure about the server. Does it encapsulate too?

I think I've got it. The PC and the switches (Switch-1 and Switch-2) are the devices that perform Layer 2 encapsulation before the message reaches the server. The router is operating at a higher layer, so it's not involved in this specific process.

Okay, I've got this. The PC is the source, and the server is the destination, so the PC and the switches must be performing Layer 2 encapsulation before the message reaches the server.

Hmm, the question is asking about Layer 2 encapsulation, so I'll need to focus on the data link layer and the devices involved in that process. Let me review the diagram carefully.

This looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the OSI layers and encapsulation process to figure out which devices are performing Layer 2 encapsulation.

I'm a bit confused here. I'm not sure if the router is involved in the Layer 2 encapsulation process or not. I'll need to double-check my understanding of how data is transmitted between devices at different layers.

I'm not sure about this one. It could also be about network security, since monitoring the hard disks could be a security measure.

I bet the router is secretly doing the chicken dance while the switches handle the Layer 2 stuff. Who knows what goes on in those network devices?

Ah, I see what they're getting at. The PC and the switches are the ones doing the Layer 2 work. The server is just there to receive the message, like a celebrity at a red carpet event.

Wait, what? The server is involved in Layer 2? I thought that was all about the physical layer. This question is making my head spin!

The PC sends the message, but the switches handle the Layer 2 encapsulation.

Yes, Layer 2 involves switches, not just the physical layer.

Switch-1 and Switch-2 have performed Layer 2 encapsulation.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Doesn't the router also do some Layer 2 stuff? I'm going to have to think about this one.

I'm not sure about that. I think PC and Server have performed Layer 2 encapsulation.

A and E, of course! The PC sends the message, and the switches handle the Layer 2 encapsulation. Easy peasy.
