Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The protocols at the Network layer (such as IP) use logical addresses to route packets to remote networks. These logical addresses, also known as IP addresses, are assigned to devices on a network and allow for efficient and organized communication between networks. Burned in addresses (A) are permanent physical addresses that are embedded into the hardware of a device, but they are not used for routing packets. BIA (B) refers to the Burned In Address specific to a network interface card (NIC) in Cisco devices. Physical addresses (D) are also known as MAC addresses, and they are used for communication within a local network, but not for routing packets to remote networks.
