What is a MAC address?

A Media Access Control (MAC) address is a 48‑bit identifier associated with the hardware of network equipment. The
MAC address may also be called the physical address because it is connected to the hardware of a device instead of
its software. The MAC address is displayed as a hexadecimal number in this format: 01-23-45-67-89-AB.
While it is possible to change the MAC address of a network device, it is not common practice to do so. For this
reason, MAC addresses are considered permanent. IP addresses are easily changed, so MAC addresses are a more
reliable method of identifying a specific device on a network.
