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.
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.
How do bridges and switches dynamically create their table?
Bridges and switches learn and filter MAC addressses into memory over time thereby creating a table of Mac addresses. Bridges build a memory table of MAC addresses they get from segments. Switches build tables based on switch port numbers to MAC addresses instead of segment numbers.
Why would you use ssid to configure a wireless router instead of ip or mac addresses?
Using an SSID (Service Set Identifier) to configure a wireless router is preferable because it allows users to easily identify and connect to the specific wireless network they want to join. Unlike IP or MAC addresses, which can be complex and less user-friendly, the SSID is a simple, recognizable name that facilitates network selection. Additionally, SSIDs enable multiple networks to coexist in the same physical area, helping users avoid confusion and connect to the correct network quickly.
Can you use 2 Mac addresses from one cable at the same time with a splitter if both Mac addresses are provisioned?
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
What type of address is used in an Ethernet frame header?
MAC addresses only
What statement is true about MAC addresses?
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 is used to permit computer to translate numeric ip addresses to MAC layer?
ARP
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 should you go for two addresses MAC and IP address instead of using one in computer networks?
An IP address has a consistent and predictable route for traffic coming from the internet. A MAC address is not routable.
How many Mac addresses are possible?
This 48-bit address space contains potentially 248 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses.
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.
