A MAC tackle (Media Entry Management tackle) is a novel identifier assigned to a community interface controller (NIC) to be used as a community tackle in communications inside a community section. This tackle is used to establish the gadget on the community and permit it to speak with different gadgets on the identical community.
MAC addresses are usually written as a string of 12 hexadecimal digits, separated by colons, for instance, “00:11:22:33:44:55”. The primary six digits of the MAC tackle are assigned by the producer of the NIC, and the final six digits are assigned by the producer of the gadget that the NIC is put in in.
