The correct answer is switch.
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.
MAC addresses (Media Access Control) are a function of the network card. They are not dependent on the operating system (such as Windows), and have no relationship with Macintosh computers, other than the fact that network devices on Macintosh computers have MAC addresses as well.
For network devices, it's a MAC address. MAC stands for 'media access control' and it's a unique identifier that's present in all hardware that interfaces with a traditional computer network. The device that manages DHCP (or assigning IP addresses to devices) often asks the devices for their MAC addresses and then gives them an IP address. Usually MAC addresses are written as something like 00:0a:5e:1a:8d:a2 and they use hexidecimal notation (allowed numbers 0-9, and letters A-F).
Sometimes a router has the option to exclude all connections apart from certain specific devices. It is those devices' MAC addresses that you will need to enter in order for the router to indentify them.
It should not cause any problems on the network since the first 24 bits of the MAC addresses are different.

MAC Filtering
Yes. Softphones like other wireless devices accessing the internet also have a MAC address embedded in its micro chip.
All network devices must have a MAC address. Find yours by selecting Settings - General and looking at the Wi-Fi address.
Hubs and switches are different types of network equipment that connect devices. A hub usually connects computers to other computers. A switch is the next step up from a switch and it records the IP and MAC addresses of the devices connected to it.
MAC address are hard coded on network cards and network devices. A HUB acts as a splitter, so yes. >both Mac addresses are provisioned; Implies your ISP will assign unique IP addresses. The hub then acts as only an electrical connection box. Without Unique IP addresses, you need a router instead of a hub or switch
