What is primarily used by IP addresses?

• Identifying hardware within a network

• Securing network communications

• Connecting to wireless networks

• Routing data across the internet

How does a MAC address differ from an IP address in terms of changeability?

• MAC addresses can change; IP addresses cannot

• Both can change

• Neither can change

• IP addresses can change; MAC addresses cannot

What is the function of MAC addresses?

• Encrypting data packets

• Routing data globally

• Assigning dynamic IP addresses

• Data transfer between local nodes

Which address type is embedded into the network interface card?

What is a key difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

• IPv6 allows for fewer addresses

• IPv4 is newer than IPv6

• IPv4 uses alphanumeric characters

• IPv6 supports a vastly larger number of addresses
