Subnet mask doesn't identify ports, just saying!

Wait, are we sure it's not the IP address?

I thought it was the VLAN, but I guess not.

I’m pretty sure it’s not the subnet mask, but I can't recall if it's VLAN or MAC address. I need to think this through more.

I’m leaning towards IP address, but I’m not confident. I remember discussing how IPs are used in routing, not switching.

I feel like this is similar to a practice question we did on identifying switch ports. I want to say it's the MAC address, but I could be mixing it up with something else.

I think the answer might be VLAN, but I'm not completely sure. I remember something about ports being associated with VLANs in my studies.
