Which of the OSI layers translates the MAC address into a physical address?
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.
The layer 2 address of an end device on the physical media is called what?
That is called the MAC address.
What information in an Ethernet frame is used by a Layer 2 switch to build its address table?
Source MAC-address
Are the addresses in a layer 2 switch's MAC address table the final destination address or the next hop address?
Final Destination Address
What addressing information is recorded by a switch to build its MAC address table?
the source Layer 2 address of incoming frames
Which combination of a Layer 2 address and a Layer 3 address will enable access if Host A wants to access the Internet?

What is the different between mac address and ip address?
MAC address is fixed to the hardware device (for example a network card) and can not be changed. IP address is assignable. The default IP address for a device can be computed by converting the four right-most numbers of the MAC address from hex to decimal.The MAC address refers to the physical address assigned by the Network Interface Card manufacturer. Example - 10.03.d5.f3.45.fc , where are an Internet Protocol address is given to a computer when it gets connected to the network. Its divided into four parts , separated by fullstops.
Where is a MAC address stored in a Switch?
Switches store the MAC addresses in an internal database called MAC Address Table. The entries in that table can be addresses learned by the switch or that can be entered manually by the switch administrator. This table is analogy to a router's routing table, only a switch operates at layer 2 whereas the router operate at Layer 3.
