yes
I think you are mixing up two different protocols. IPv6 addresses are not hard coded into your adapter; MAC addresses are. It's totally different. IPv6 addresses are 16 bytes long and MAC addresses are 6 bytes long.
802.11 use MAC addresses, which are the same as IP addresses in some networks
This 48-bit address space contains potentially 248 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)ARP is primarily used to translate IP Addresses to Ethernet MAC Addresses.
yes they do.
ARP
Routers don't use MAC addresses for routing. They use IP address.
A MAC address is unique to your ethernet card. MAC addresses are used within an Ethernet network to uniquely identify the source and destination of Ethernet frames. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used on IP networks to map IP addresses to MAC addresses within an Ethernet network.
The switch keeps track of which computers (identified through their MAC addresses) are connected to which switch ports.The switch keeps track of which computers (identified through their MAC addresses) are connected to which switch ports.The switch keeps track of which computers (identified through their MAC addresses) are connected to which switch ports.The switch keeps track of which computers (identified through their MAC addresses) are connected to which switch ports.
if the mac addresses are broadcrk securiwoasting the there is no need of net
ARP, or Address Resolution Protocol, defined by RFC 826.
