The purpose of the MAC address is to enable devices to communicate over the local network and nothing more. Also, once you've passed through a router, the original MAC is replaced that of the router port you're going through. Cloning a MAC makes it easier to replace a device in a system that's configured to work with only one MAC, but that's all it does.
