What is the purpose of assigning an IP address to a Layer 2 switch?
A layer 2 switch may need an IP address if the operator wishes to be able to access it without a serial cable. With an IP address, the switch can be access from anywhere with a connection to the network or an Internet connection.
Why must you use a console connection to initially configure the switch why not to the switch via telnet or ssh?
If you've got a new switch, all basic settings must be configured using a console cable. SSHing or telnetting to a switch is imposible without an IP address. Therefore you must first configure all the basic settings via console.

Why does the switch between Host and the router not require configuration with an IP address to forward packets?
If a switch is connected to a router then the MAC address of the router is known to the switch through that port. A host takes advantage of this by using the default gateway address (the address of the router) which the switch "knows" by its lookup table. Therefore, the switch can learn the address automatically and no configuration is necessary.

How many mac addresses does a router have?
Yes. Some switches have, in any case - I know that the Cisco switches do. A switch needs both a MAC address and an IP address, if it is to be the endpoint of data communication; for example, if you want to test whether you can access the switch with the "ping" command, or if you want to configure it remotely.
