The Mac Pro has two Ethernet ports so that two Ethernet cables can be connected to the computer. The cables may be connecting a local network or peripheral devices such as printers or cameras that require an Ethernet connection.

What are the functions that enable a switch to forward Ethernet frames in a lan?

A switch forwards Ethernet frames in a LAN primarily through two functions: MAC address learning and frame forwarding. It maintains a MAC address table by learning the source MAC addresses of incoming frames and associating them with the corresponding switch ports. When a frame is received, the switch looks up the destination MAC address in its table to determine the appropriate port to forward the frame, ensuring efficient data transmission within the network. If the destination MAC is unknown, the switch will broadcast the frame to all ports except the one it originated from.


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.

Does hub has Mac address?

No. Hubs simply repeat all the Ethernet frames on all ports and do not interfere with the source or destination MAC addresses and as such do not need their own MAC address.


Where can one buy Mac ports online?

Mac ports can not be purchased, however information on configuriing ports on a Mac computer can be found on the official Apple support website. There is also a website called MacPorts, which provides information on Mac port files.


Can there be more than one Ethernet adaptors that have the same Ethernet MAC address?

One computer must have unique MAC addresses for each Ethernet adapter (ideally each Ethernet adapter in existence has a unique MAC address but there are some that allow manual setting of the MAC, so duplicates can exist.) If you have not changed anything from the factory settings then each network card will have a unique address!

Where is a MAC address stored in a Switch?

Switches store the MAC addresses in an internal database called MAC Address Table. The entries in that table can be addresses learned by the switch or that can be entered manually by the switch administrator. This table is analogy to a router's routing table, only a switch operates at layer 2 whereas the router operate at Layer 3.
