Can someone tell me what is port address exactly and what is the use? And the difference between port and interface?

Thanks in advance.

Physical Layer---------> HR (Hub and Repeater).
Data link Layer---------> SB (Switches and Bridges)
Network Layer-----------> Routers.

@Mr. Yoga:

Ports are used in transport layer (TCP, UDP, SCTP). Since transport layer is responsible for end to end communication, it must identify the application (or process) who initiated the request.

An IP address is a logical address and it is a 32 bit address. IP address specify a user on the network, and it is a temporary address.

Hub simply replicates the incoming network data to all outgoing ports. It has no intelligence like switch (layer 2 and layer 3) to filter out traffic using mac address (layer 2 switch) or by ip address (layer 3 switch i.e. router).
