First of all, it should be noted that the concept of MAC address has nothing to do with Apple’s MAC computers.. MAC address (Media Access Control Address), ie Media Access Control Address, is the address of a device assigned to the network interface controller. It’s a term most people understand where every computer and phone that connects to the Internet is connected with an IP address, but a MAC address is different and far fewer people know what it is.. A MAC address is an address that your Ethernet port or network card has. Every device that connects to the Internet does this through hardware, and this hardware, often called a network interface, has a MAC Address.
Each network device in your system has its own MAC address. Ethernet adapter and wireless LAN adapter have different physical addresses. If you install a virtual network adapter, it gets its own MAC address.
Other than hardware terms, the MAC address is defined as the port between a public and private network, but it’s still essentially the same thing.. A MAC address is generally unlikely to change. Usually coded by the network card manufacturer or your ISP. It is a 12-character alphanumeric value normally expressed in hexadecimal numbers; 01-8a-6b-3g-4f-55.
