What else can I help you with?
When and where can use the IP-address and the MAC-address?
802.11 use MAC addresses, which are the same as IP addresses in some networks
Why are two mac addresses associated with one port?
Two MAC addresses can be associated with one port in scenarios involving features like VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) or link aggregation. In VLAN configurations, a switch port can support multiple virtual networks, each with its own MAC address for devices connected to that VLAN. Additionally, in link aggregation, multiple physical connections are combined into a single logical link, allowing devices to share a single MAC address across those connections for redundancy and increased bandwidth.
When would a switch record multiple entries for a single switch port in its MAC address table?
A switch would record multiple entries for a single switch port in its MAC address table if it does not contain the Mac address of a particular destination in the address table. It will broadcast to all ports besides the port where entry comes from.
How long are Ethernet Mac addresses?
Ethernet addresses are 48 bits long - not 32 bits long like IP addresses. Different single network standards have different address lengths. Ethernet addresses are called MAC addresses for other reasons, Media Access Control.
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.
Which protocol is used to convert logical IP addresses to physical MAC addresses?
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)ARP is primarily used to translate IP Addresses to Ethernet MAC Addresses.
How many Mac addresses are possible?
This 48-bit address space contains potentially 248 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses.
What protocol is responsible for resolving ip addresses to mac addresses for source hosts that knows ip addresses of the destination host but not the mac address?
ARP, or Address Resolution Protocol, defined by RFC 826.
How many potential MAC address schemes are possible?
The original IEEE 802 MAC address comes from the original Xerox Ethernet addressing scheme. This 48-bit address space contains potentially 248 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses.
What happens when Mac address is broadcasting?
if the mac addresses are broadcrk securiwoasting the there is no need of net
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.
Mac addresses are limited by being?
A flat address space
