Can a host have 2 IP addresses?

Yes. All IP Routers (networking) are computers (hosts) with more than one IP Address. Even non-routers can have more than one IP address. Doesn’t even require additional physical NICs in the presence of virtual local area networks (VLAN).

Can multiple hosts have the same IP?

Yes. Two virtual servers on the same Application Switch or Web Switch can share the same virtual IP address as long as they are each configured with unique services or with different source networks.

Why would a server need multiple IP addresses?

Another IP conflict scenario can occur if you have two DHCP servers on your network (which you should avoid).

Can 2 computers have the same MAC address?

If two devices have the same MAC Address (which occurs more often than network administrators would like), neither computer can communicate properly. Duplicate MAC Addresses separated by one or more routers is not a problem since the two devices won’t see each other and will use the router to communicate.
