MAC addresses are unique identifiers assigned to network interfaces for communications on a local network. They are typically expressed in hexadecimal format and consist of six pairs of digits, separated by colons or hyphens. MAC addresses operate at Layer 2 of the OSI model and are used to facilitate data transfer between devices in a local area network (LAN). Unlike IP addresses, MAC addresses do not change and are tied to the hardware of the device.
What else can I help you with?
Which statement is true concerning configuring static routes using next-hop addresses?
yes
Is it true that the IPv6 addresses in Windows 7 computers use six byte hexadecimal sequences hard coded into each network interface adapter by the manufacturer?
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.
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
How many Mac addresses are possible?
This 48-bit address space contains potentially 248 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses.
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.
Do routers need MAC addresses?
yes they do.
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 are the consequences of using MAC addresses for routing in network layer routers?
Routers don't use MAC addresses for routing. They use IP address.
Which protocol maps known IP addresses to MAC addresses on a local network?
ARP
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 does switch' MAC address table keeps track of?
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.
What happens when Mac address is broadcasting?
if the mac addresses are broadcrk securiwoasting the there is no need of net
