Which two characteristics describe MAC addresses? (Choose two.)
- physical address assigned to the NIC
- identifies source and destination in Layer 2 header
- logical address assigned by DHCP
- used by routers to select the best path to a destination
Explanation: The MAC address is referred to as a physical address because it is assigned by the manufacturer to the NIC. MAC addresses are contained in the Layer 2 header. IP addresses are Layer 3 addresses and are logical addresses that are assigned either dynamically through DHCP or manually configured. Routers use destination IP addresses to choose the best path over which to forward the packets.
