Thank to jitendera kumar sinha (clear example)
First we want to know clear idea of ip and mac address
Differences between of ip add and mac add
It “IP address”, as “IP number”, or merely as “IP” is a
code made up of numbers separated by three dots that
identifies a particular computer on the Internet. These
addresses are actually 32-bit binary numbers, consisting of
the two subaddresses (identifiers) mentioned above which,
respectively, identify the network and the host to the
network, with an imaginary boundary separating the two. An
IP address is, as such, generally shown as 4 octets of
numbers from 0-255 represented in decimal form instead of
binary form.
A MAC (or Machine Access Control) address is best thought
of as a unique serial number assigned to every network
interface on every device. And by unique, I do mean unique;
no two network cards anywhere should have the same MAC
address.
MAC and IP addresses are both key components to network,
but they serve different purposes, and are visible in very
different ways.
