Media Access Control (MAC) address is the method to control access to the physical transmission medium. A switch doesn't care about your upper layers (IP, TCP, etc.) but won't find your host without a MAC address. That's why MACs are called hardware address and work on the local link only, from the port on your cool network interface to the other end of the cable or radio signal. |
