The ip address is used when another computer needs to connect to your computer or if you are hosting a site on your server. The ip address of your site will be the ip address of your computer.
The IP address is used when communicating with another LAN (Local Area Network) across a WAN (Wide Area Network).
What else can I help you with?
Does Mac address travel in network?
yes ......... mac address travels in network instead of ip.
What is Mac binding?
Computers with a specified MAC address can only send and receive information with the IP address it is bound to. To use MAC address binding, you must associate an IP address on the specified interface with a MAC address.
What is an arp request packet for?
ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol. This is IP's way of requesting a MAC address (or hardware address) from a host located at a certain IP address. In order for a host on a network to send a unicast packet across the network, it must know both the source and destination MAC addresses. ARP is used to obtain a MAC address similar to the way DNS is used to obtain an IP address from a domain name (www.anydomain.com).
Why should you go for two addresses MAC and IP address instead of using one in computer networks?
An IP address has a consistent and predictable route for traffic coming from the internet. A MAC address is not routable.
Do Ipads have Mac addresses?
All network devices must have a MAC address. Find yours by selecting Settings - General and looking at the Wi-Fi address.
Which criteria does the switch use to build dynamic Mac table?
address resolution protocol is used when the switch used to build the dynamic mac address table.
What number system is used for the Mac Address?
decimal
What is commonly used to restrict access to a network based on the physical hardware address of the clients network device?
You can enable MAC address (also know as Physical Address) filtering. MAC address filtering has two modes: 1. Allow access to listed MAC addresses 2. Deny access to listed MAC addresses.
Does MAC address operates at Layer 2?
yes. thougth the nic is a layer 1 device its mac address is used in datalink layer
Which two statements describe the operation of an access layer ethernet switch choose two?
The source MAC address within a frame is used by the switch to associate a port with that MAC address. Frames are directed by the switch from one port to another based on the destination MAC address within the frame.
What is a private MAC 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.
What is the Mac address used for?
The address for a device as it is identified at the Media Access Control (MAC) layer in the Ethernet networkarchitecture. The MAC address is usually stored in ROM on the network adapter card and is unique.When reaching another host on your own network, or when accessing a router on your network to reach another network, The IP address (4 numbers separate by dots) is converted to the MAC address of the host or router on your network. When the message or packet(S) are sent out, the device with that destination MAC address recognizes that it was meant to receive the message and accepts it. Any other device on the network that can see the transmission is expected to ignore it.An exception is a device or router that is configured to be "promiscuous". Such a machine will also accept and process all transmissions even if meant for another device. This is often used for network monitoring/logging, maintenance, and problem resolution.Although the MAC address is hard coded into the network interface or device, in almost all cases it can be changed. An example for this is when an ethernet network is used with the DECnet protocol. DECnet can be used instead of or togetherwith TCP/IP (or Netware or NetBEUI). The DECnet protocol requires that the MAC address be changed to incorporate the DECnet address as part of the MA address.A MAC address is the serial number of a network card - or other equipment that connects to a network, usually an Ethernet network. In an Ethernet network, the MAC address is used as source and destination address, to know who is communicating with whom. For example, a switch uses the MAC address to forward a frame (a pieces of data) to the correct computer.
