Significance of physical identifier

Hello, I have a doubt regarding physical identifier of an Ethernet physical IC. What is the importance of their physical identifier. when I compared DP83848C and DP83640 and found not much difference in their registers. While programming, only when these identifiers are valid its starts its actual working. What might be the importance of this identifier?

  • How can I ping my board rather than HTTP?

    Any of the networking projects will support ping.

    On your host computer, just use the ping command.

    The ping facility is a core component of TCP/IP. I don't understand how anyone could consider starting an HTTP based project without having knowledge of, and experience in, using ping.
