What is a MAC Address?
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment. Every network device has a unique MAC address.
MAC Address Format
MAC addresses are typically represented in one of these formats:
- Colon notation:
00:1B:44:11:3A:B7
- Hyphen notation:
00-1B-44-11-3A-B7
- Dot notation:
001B.4411.3AB7

Understanding OUI
The first 3 bytes (6 hexadecimal characters) of a MAC address represent the OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier), which identifies the manufacturer or vendor of the network device.
