So, the final answer to your question is the social inertia. They are developed for IP in the times where the Ethernet didn't even existed. Most people connects with Ethernet packets but it is not needed.ītw, having an "Internet" which uses MAC addresses instead of IP, would be possible, although it would require to develop the complex protocols and shared databases on every protocol layer to use them. interface IP X network by default 175 on port (25565) Reason: No route to. So, IP is the common of the Internet, and you can connect into it with everything. First, is the IP address Configure pfSense device to forward syslog data to. Or there are VPN protocols which also traffic only IP packets without an Ethernet frame. It is not obligatory to use IP from Ethernet, for example in the ancient times there were ARCNET cards which used a quite different protocol (as I know, their "MAC" were much shorter, too). IP is the standard of the Internet, while the MAC is the standard of the Ethernet. Earlier existed different protocols (for example, IPX, or the microsoft win2000 servers also had one) which didn't use IP, but another protocol over the NIC cards. There is also a deeper reason: in the cases of the NIC, there is no guarantee that you want to make IP traffic on them, it is only a quasi-common standard. MAC addresses are normally fixed in the NIC firmware, while IP addresses can be freely set everywhere. From a MAC address you can only see which company manufactured the chip, but no more. In the case of the MAC addresses, there is no such thing. They are organized into a tree-like structure in the Internet, where the IP networks of the organizations have a global registry.

If you have an IP, for example 104.103.84.161 for the every router on the Internet knows, where to send packets to this IP address. (2) Type ipconfig/all at the prompt window, press Enter, it will show the MAC address and other address information of this computer.The reason for that is the routing. (1)Click Start->Run, type cmd and press Enter. You should know the MAC addresses of the computers which you would like to allow them to access the Internet.You can check them on the computers with command prompt. (2) Enable Bind, and type the MAC Address and IP Address of your computer, (1)Click Add New to set IP & MAC Bingding. If you can confirm the ARP table is correct, please click Load Add and Bind All, then all IP Address and MAC Address of your computers showed on the ARP table will be binded.īut if you can't confirm the ARP table is no problem, please add IP Address and MAC Address of your computers manually. Step 5 Click ARP List on the left page, you can see ARP table the router learns. Step 4 Select Enable ARP Binding, and click Save. Step 3 Click IP & MAC Binding->Binding setting on the left page.
#REASON FOR MAC ADDRESSES AND IP PASSWORD#
Step 2 Type the username and password in the login page, the default username and password both are admin.

Step 1 Open the web browser and type the LAN IP address of the router in the address bar, the default IP address of TP-Link router is 192.168.1.1, and then press Enter.

Click here and know how to configure TCP/IP Properties on your computer. Note the IP Address on your conputer should be setted as a static one and DHCP Server on the router should be disabled.
