Generation

# MAC Address Definition A **MAC (Media Access Control) address** is a unique 48-bit hardware identifier assigned to a network interface card (NIC). It operates at Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of the OSI model and is used for communication within a local network. ## Format: - 48 bits (6 bytes) typically written as 12 hexadecimal digits - Common notation: Six groups of two hex digits separated by colons or hyphens ## Example: **MAC Address:** `00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E` Breaking it down: - **00:1A:2B** = OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) - identifies the manufacturer - **3C:4D:5E** = NIC-specific portion - unique to this particular device This address might belong to a Dell laptop's Ethernet adapter, where the first three bytes (00:1A:2B) identify Dell as the manufacturer, and the last three bytes uniquely identify that specific network card.
