Hi everyone, i just learned that each port on a router has its own mac address, which i dont understand. if someone can clear all of this up for me i would really appreciate it. What i dont understand is why each port of a router has to have its own mac address. I can see the necessity of each physical port having its own IP address but i cant see the mac address. what is it for? Wouldn't it be easier if each router had a mac address just for the router itself and not for each physical port? Or is it for trouble shooting purposes? and im pretty knowledgeable about all this networking stuff so please go into detail if you wish.
