In data communication, Physical and Logical are very important, The Physical layout of a network shows the physical location of and the connection between devices participating on the network. And the importance of a logical layout shows all logical aspects of the network. This includes logical networks, assigned IP addresses to various hosts and devices, routing tables and a lot more.

So, we need all of them for security, troubleshooting and management reasons.

In Internet networking, a logical address is an IP address that may be assigned by software in the server or router or may be user-assigned, in contrast to the physical address (also called the MAC address) which is set in the hardware at the factory, and unalterable.
