What is the difference between a hardware address and IPv4 address?
Hardware address is the MAC address. IPv4 is the IP address. The MAC address is assigned to each network device at the time it's manufactured and does not change. The IP address is manually assigned and can be changed.
What is another name for the physical address assigned to each network adapter?
MAC address :)
What is a spoof mac address plus for mac os X leopard?
Not sure what you are asking. You cannot fake your MAC address, it is assigned to your computer when it was being manufactured.
Is the Mac address permanent?
Yes. A mac address is assigned to a device at the factory and cannot be altered. In most cases, it is the IP address that is temporary and often changes.
What is the physical address assigned to nics called?
That is called a MAC address.
Are Mac addresses dynamically assigned?
No, MAC Addresses are fixed per network interface card or NIC. The MAC address is the Media Access Control address and is the hardware address of the network device to which your IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.3 is assigned. You can identify the vendor of your network card from its MAC address, e.g. all Intel NIC cards may begin with 00-15.
What is another name for the physical address assigned to each adapter?
mac address, physical .address address book ,physical change
Does an unmanaged switch have its own MAC address?
yes i think, because the MAC address is the physical address which is assigned by the vendor of the Ethernet card. ** Improved Answer ** No, Unmanaged switches do not have a MAC address. All they do is filter, forward or flood frames.
What do the first six characters of a mac address indicate?
The Block ID assigned by IEEE
Why there are 48 bits in Mac?
MAC address is the Layer 2 based unique address assigned (burned) to Network Interface Card. Out of 48 bits First 24 bits are assigned to Manufacturers (Of NIC Cards) & other 24 bits are assigned to each NIC by Manufacturer. 48 bits in MAC address provides unexhaustive possibility in near time for manufacturing NICs with unique identity number.
How many characters does a MAC address have?
A MAC address consists of 48 bits, usually represented as a string of 12 hexadecimal digits
Can you have a dynamic Mac address?
In general, the MAC address is tied to a specific piece of hardware and does not change. It is possible, however, under certain circumstances to change the MAC address. MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer of a network interface card (NIC) and are stored in its hardware, the card's read-only memory, or some other firmware mechanism. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number and may be referred to as the burned-in address. It may also be known as an Ethernet hardware address (EHA), hardware address or physical address. Although intended to be a permanent and globally unique identification, it is possible to change the MAC address on most modern hardware. Changing MAC addresses is necessary in network virtualization. In this case, the MAC address of the actual NIC is hidden from the network and the network only sees the MAC assigned to the virtual NIC - which can be configured, with some finesse, to be dynamic. It can also be used in the process of exploiting security vulnerabilities. This is called MAC spoofing.
