Yes - the first bits specify the network, the remaining bits, a host within a network. There is no fixed number of bits for the network; this may vary.

∙ 14y agoA MAC address is a 48 bit address. It consists of 6 pairs where each pair has two hexadecimal digits. Since, one hexadecimal digit takes 4 bits, so each pair will occupy 8 bits. Hence, 6 pairs will occupy 48 bits.
The MAC consists of 2 parts. The first part called Manufacturer ID consists of the first 3 pairs while the second part called Device ID consists of the last 3 pairs.
For Example,
00-0F-03-AF-OC-33
The first 3 pairs 00-OF-03 is the Manufacturer ID.
The last 3 pairs AF-OC-33 is the Device ID.

each version 4 IP address is 32 bits long. When we refer to the IP address we use a dotted-decimal notation, while the computer converts this into binary. However, even though these sets of 32 bits are considered a single "entity", they have an internal structure containing two components:
- Network Identifier (Network ID): A certain number of bits, starting from the left-most bit, is used to identify the network where the host or other network interface is located. This is also sometimes called the network prefix or even just the prefix.
- Host Identifier (Host ID): The remainder of the bits are used to identify the host on the network.

What are the Ethernet frame parts?
what are the ethernet frame parts The source and destination MAC addresses
Can two computers have the same MAC address?
NO, its not possible to have same MAC addresses for two different network cards. because MAC address is a unique part of the recognition of the network card and it is also called as PHYSICAL address of your PC. There is possibility of 2 network cards with same MAC address by 3rd party MAC spoofing techniques.........
How long are Ethernet Mac addresses?
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.
How do bridges and switches dynamically create their table?
Bridges and switches learn and filter MAC addressses into memory over time thereby creating a table of Mac addresses. Bridges build a memory table of MAC addresses they get from segments. Switches build tables based on switch port numbers to MAC addresses instead of segment numbers.
What does empty ARP cache indicate?
That the MAC addresses have expired
How come MAC addresses don't run out -- how do manufacturers know which ones they can reuse?
MAC addresses don't really run out, they get reused, and they distribute to different parts of the world so there is a smaller chance of two addresses being on the same network.

What are two addresses required for communication in Internet?
logical and mac
Why are no two MAC addresses the same?
the network could not work if they were the same.
What effect will it have on the network if two devices from two different manufacturer share the last 24 bits of their mac addresses?
It should not cause any problems on the network since the first 24 bits of the MAC addresses are different.

When and where can use the IP-address and the MAC-address?
802.11 use MAC addresses, which are the same as IP addresses in some networks
What is commonly used to restrict access to a network based on the physical hardware address of the clients network device?
You can enable MAC address (also know as Physical Address) filtering. MAC address filtering has two modes: 1. Allow access to listed MAC addresses 2. Deny access to listed MAC addresses.
How many Mac addresses are possible?
This 48-bit address space contains potentially 248 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses.
Which protocol is used to convert logical IP addresses to physical MAC addresses?
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)ARP is primarily used to translate IP Addresses to Ethernet MAC Addresses.
Is it true that the IPv6 addresses in Windows 7 computers use six byte hexadecimal sequences hard coded into each network interface adapter by the manufacturer?
I think you are mixing up two different protocols. IPv6 addresses are not hard coded into your adapter; MAC addresses are. It's totally different. IPv6 addresses are 16 bytes long and MAC addresses are 6 bytes long.
Do routers need MAC addresses?
yes they do.
