48 bits is a typical MAC address in bits.
MAC address is the Layer 2 based unique address assigned (burned) to Network Interface Card. Out of 48 bits First 24 bits are assigned to Manufacturers (Of NIC Cards) & other 24 bits are assigned to each NIC by Manufacturer. 48 bits in MAC address provides unexhaustive possibility in near time for manufacturing NICs with unique identity number.
There are 24 bits, or six hex characters, for the preamble of the MAC address (i.e., 00:11:22 in the MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55 or 0011.2233.4455).
A MAC address consists of 48 bits, usually represented as a string of 12 hexadecimal digits
The Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a 48 bit number that identifies equipment (computers, printers etc.) connected to a network - these connections are called Nodes. The Mac address number is usually set by the manufacturer of the equipment.
48-bits. Probably so that there would be enough for every network device to have a worldwide unique address. This 48-bit address space contains potentially 2^48 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses. (2 to the 48th power.) Which will probably also run out (some day?) like IPv4 is running out and will be supposedly fixed by IPv6 which has a larger address spac
The built-in identifying address coded into a Network Interface Card (NIC) is called a MAC address. It is a unique identifier assigned to the hardware by the manufacturer and is used to identify devices on a network. MAC addresses are typically 48 bits long and are displayed in hexadecimal format.
Ethernet addresses are 48 bits long - not 32 bits long like IP addresses. Different single network standards have different address lengths. Ethernet addresses are called MAC addresses for other reasons, Media Access Control.
A Mac address (Media Access Control address) is 48 bits long, which is equivalent to 6 bytes.
That is called the MAC address.
That is called a MAC address.
Media access control (MAC) addresses all network interface manufacturers to uniquely identify each network interface card (NIC) they produce. Currently there are three types of MAC address, MAC-48, EUI-48 and EUI-64. EUI is an abbreviation for extended unique identifier. MAC-48 and EUI-48 addresses are 48 bits in length while EUI-64 addresses are 64 bits in length.
