Re: ethernet addr for router

Greetings,

How many ethernet addr are there for a router? one for each port or only one
for the whole router?

It all depends on HOW the router is configured, as an interface may or
may not have an IP address, and in addition, the Router may have
virtual interfaces that also may or may not have an address. You can
have a Router that has ZERO IP address, or one that has hundreds more
IP addresses than physical interfaces. It all depends on the
configuration.

How many ethernet addr are there for a switch?

Again, it all depends on HOW the device is configured, for the exact
same reasons.

Unless the switch is a layer 3 switch, the switch will have only one
interface. I suppose you can configure sc1 and sc2 on the old
catalysts if you desire, but traditionally speaking, there is one for
management.
