Once the router/adaptor received the destination IP address (even if we entered in the incorrect MAC address) the router/adapter would remove the IP address from the Ethernet frame and using ARP, would get the correct MAC address of the destination

What is the difference between an Ethernet Address and an mac address?

Ethernet address is really not a good term to use. I think you mean a MAC address. A MAC address is given to any device that accesses the internet. Such devices include WiFi cards, modems, and routers. These are only used by networks that devices connect to, and not by websites. They can be used for filtering and identifying devices on a network.Ip (Internet Protocol) addresses are assigned to networks (one per network) by an ISP (Internet Service Provider) such as Comcast. These are sent to everything you interact with online, so that your network, rather than your computer, is identified.Now there are two kinds of Ip addresses: internal and external. Internal are used by your network to identify each device that connects to it. External Ip's are assigned by your ISP to identify you to the world. I explained the difference more in-depth in another answer, which is right here:What_is_the_difference_between_an_Ip_address_and_a_http_address

Find Mac address for apple computer?

Two simple ways: 1. Using System Preferences: * Open System Preferences * Click "Network" * Select the interface from the list (e.g. "Ethernet" or "AirPort") * Click "Advanced" * Look through the tabs; one will contain the mac address. (If you're looking for the Ethernet interface, it will be under the "Ethernet" tab; if you're looking for Airport, the address is under the "AirPort" tab) 2. Using Terminal: * Open Terminal * Type "ifconfig" (without the quotes) and hit enter * Look through the list until you see the correct interface. The mac address wil be in that section (it will say something like "ether 00:11:22:aa:bb:cc") * Alternatively, you can enter "ifconfig <interface>" to only view that interface. Ethernet is usually en0 and AirPort usually en1 (but not always). For example, type "ifconfig en1" to view the AirPort's configuration.

What is layer 2 switching?

This refers to switching at layer 2 of the OSI reference model, for example, Ethernet. A switch looks at the MAC address of each Ethernet frame ("packet", you might say, but at this level the correct name is "frame"), and if it knows that this MAC address is connected at a certain port, the switch will send the information out ONLY through that port.This refers to switching at layer 2 of the OSI reference model, for example, Ethernet.

What is need of logical to physical address translation?

== == I'm not a vandal or spammer I just haven't created a username and password yet but the answer to the question is that your physical address is burned into the net work card adapter on your PC or on Apple Macs by the manufacturer at the time of production and they are all unique. That physical address, just like your mailing address it is real, is also called your MAC address (Media Access Control address) and looks like this 00-56-7E-4A-DD-8D. The logical address is what the IP (Internet Protocol) address, can also be called virtual address, is and it looks like this 216.109.112.135 and is Yahoo's IP address. Your IP address can change and often does when you have a high speed Internet connection. This is called your DHCP Lease and it actually has an expiration date and time. When it expires you may get the same one or another one depending on what available IP addresses the DHCP server has available. You can also do this with the release and renew commands. You can look up the addresses on your computer with the ipconfig -all command in Windows command line utility (cmd on 2000/XP). To do this go to Start - RUN - type 'cmd'. Then your console window should open up. In there you can type 'ipconfig -all' and you will get the information about your physical address and IP address. To lookup Yahoo's or Google's address type ' nslookup yahoo.com or nslookup google.com and you should get the corresponding IP address of the web site. nslookup (name server lookup) is a network command line utility that will display the IP address of a site. I hope this helps as there is a great deal more information that I could write about these two address types.


What is a Mac table?

sometimes when interface configured with a static IP address, which is not correct, the host does not communicate to the port, and switch has no MAC address. I've seen it just two days ago - had an Linux appliance with a static IP address configured on the interface. Plugged interface to the switch, port says "Connected", but no MAC address in the CAM table. After I changed an IP address to whatever it should be for the VLAN - NIC started to communicate, and MAC address appears on the port.


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.


How do you set IP Address of a LAN card in Linux?

Assuming you're not using DHCP (in which case it would be set automatically), you would use:ifconfig eth0 10.10.0.1substituting the correct interface card and IP address, of course.


Where can you get your subnet mask for Mac?

Any device (mac or not) receives its subnet mask from the DHCP service, or by manually configuring the interface. In the case of manual configuration you would need to check with your network administrator to find out the correct setting for the subnet mask.

Why won't it let me connect to the Internet via Ethernet?

If your computer will not let you connect to the Internet via an Ethernet cable double check that the ethernet drivers have been installed. If the drivers are installed, try uninstalling and reinstalling them to see if that will correct the issue.
