000a5e1a8da2 is what kind of address?
For network devices, it's a MAC address. MAC stands for 'media access control' and it's a unique identifier that's present in all hardware that interfaces with a traditional computer network. The device that manages DHCP (or assigning IP addresses to devices) often asks the devices for their MAC addresses and then gives them an IP address. Usually MAC addresses are written as something like 00:0a:5e:1a:8d:a2 and they use hexidecimal notation (allowed numbers 0-9, and letters A-F).

Which protocol is used to convert logical IP addresses to physical MAC addresses?

Do routers need MAC addresses?

Which protocol maps known IP addresses to MAC addresses on a local network?

What is a private MAC address?
