Best Answer

Every piece of equipment (computers, printers etc.) has a MAC (Media Access Control) address which identifies it when it is connected to a network. To spoof the MAC address is to supply the network with a different address than the one allocated for your computer so you are pretending to be another computer.

How does MAC address filtering enable wireless network security at the device level?

MAC address filter is a pretty secure way of rudimentary network security. Enabling it makes the network available only to know devices. However, this leaves it vulnerable to MAC address spoofing.


Can computers have the same MAC address on a server?

No, they can't have the same mac address, because mac address is an id for a machine therefore the ip addresses are registered to the DHCP table accordingly to the mac address. So if you spoof the mac address lets say having two machines with the same mac address what will happen is that only one machine at time would be allowed once it disconnect then the other can connect. Why spoofing a mac address? I guess one of the reasons is to defeat a network administrator when they secure their network by filtering the mac addresses so by spoofing the mac address you will be able to access the internet.
