** The router modifies the TTL field, decrementing it by one.** The router maintains the same source and destination IP.** The router changes the source physical address to the physical address of the exit interface
the router is assigned an ip address.
IP address remains the same. Mac address changes from router to router.
The router ID is used to uniquely identify each router in the OSPF routing domain.If no loopback interfaces are configured, the router chooses the highest active IP address of any of its physical interfaces.
Because your router has a unique IP address (usually it's the case), your IP address can be traced back to the physical address (town, street, house, apartment), if you are registered as a resident at your current address people with certain skills will track you down for couple minutes.
The Router only has one M.A.C Address and One IP Address But, the Router can have many Connections ( Devices using the network ) That may shoe up as their IP Addresses. But the Router only Has One IP Address
logical address and physical addressIn a system, there are two types of addresses: logical and physical. Another name for logical address is IP address and it is set by your Internet service provider (ISP) or your router. If you have a router then you have a LAN, which sets a logical address for your computer. Your router will have an logical address set by your ISP.The physical address is also called the MAC address and it is generated by the manufacturer. (but only to a given extent)Because a MAC address is assigned (by the FCC) to a company to use for a range of products.For example:01:23:45:00:00:00 - 01:23:45:FF:FF:FFWould be their "range" of MAC addresses. They use a coding called Hex which is not to far off from what you know which is base-10 (0-9).Instead hex uses (0-F). 0123456789ABCDEFA = 10, B = 11, etc.Read more: What_is_the_difference_between_logical_address_and_physical_addresses
in general the router uses the network address to compare to the routing table. Specifically, on the internet, the Router looks up the destination IP address in the router table to determine where to route the packet.
Hot standby router protocol. 2 different routers will have 2 different physical addresses, but you can give both of them a shared virtual address. only 1 router will answer on the virtual address at a time, but one goes down the other will take over.
the highest IP address of any logical interfacethe highest IP address of any physical interface
A very intelligent question... Actually it is possible if you have an backdoor access to the switch or router of your ISP. If you know what I mean. But in general terms, it is NO!
The "default gateway" is your router.
