Which protocol resolves an IP address to a MAC address?
Address Resolution Protocol
ARP is the Address Resolution Protocol, used to translate between Layer 2 MAC addresses and Layer 3 IP addresses. ARP resolves IPs to MAC addresses by asking, “Who has IP address 192.168.
How do I assign a MAC address?
Right-click or long tap on the adapter for the network card that you want to change. Choose Properties from the menu that opens up. In the Properties window that pops up, select the Advanced tab. Select Network Address in the list displayed under Property, and type the new MAC address value on the right side.
What is the size of MAC address?
48 bits
Historically, MAC addresses are 48 bits long. They have two halves: the first 24 bits form the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) and the last 24 bits form a serial number (formally called an extension identifier).
Can two devices have same MAC Address?
If two devices have the same MAC Address (which occurs more often than network administrators would like), neither computer can communicate properly. Duplicate MAC Addresses separated by one or more routers is not a problem since the two devices won’t see each other and will use the router to communicate.
An IP address conflict occurs when two or more devices on the same network are assigned the same IP address. Because of this setup, no two devices can have the same IP address on one network. If this happens, the network becomes confused by the duplicate IP addresses and can’t use them correctly.
