Detailed explanation-1: -An IP (Internet Protocol) packet does not contain a MAC (Media Access Control) address. The IP packet is responsible for routing data over a network, and it contains information such as the source and destination IP addresses.
Detailed explanation-2: -When the IPv4 broadcast packet is encapsulated in the Ethernet frame, the destination MAC address is the broadcast MAC address FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF in hexadecimal (or 48 1s in binary). DHCP for IPv4 is an example of a protocol that uses Ethernet and IPv4 broadcast addresses.
Detailed explanation-3: -5. Does MAC address contain characters. Explanation: The MAC address itself doesn’t look anything like an IP address. The MAC address is a string of usually six sets of two digits or characters, separated by colons.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the ARP request packet, the source IP address and destination IP address are filled with the same source IP address itself. The destination MAC address is the Ethernet broadcast address (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF).
