What do the first three octets mean in mac address?

The UAA, or Universally Administered Address, is the most commonly used type of MAC address. This address is assigned to the network adapter when it is manufactured. The first three octets define the manufacturer, while the second three octets vary and identify the individual adapter. All network adapter manufacturers have their own code, called the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI).

What is the importance of Mac addresses?

MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to most network adapters or network interface cards (NICs) by the manufacturer for identification, and used in the media access control protocol sub-layer. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number. It may also be known as an Ethernet Hardware Address, hardware address, adapter address, or physical address.

What is specific address?

Specific or static? Each computer has an address, most of the time a TCP/IP address in a pattern of four sets of three numbers. There's also MAC address, which is a pattern of 8 sets of 2 digits, which are assigned to every network adapter.

Can you have a dynamic Mac address?

In general, the MAC address is tied to a specific piece of hardware and does not change. It is possible, however, under certain circumstances to change the MAC address. MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer of a network interface card (NIC) and are stored in its hardware, the card's read-only memory, or some other firmware mechanism. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number and may be referred to as the burned-in address. It may also be known as an Ethernet hardware address (EHA), hardware address or physical address. Although intended to be a permanent and globally unique identification, it is possible to change the MAC address on most modern hardware. Changing MAC addresses is necessary in network virtualization. In this case, the MAC address of the actual NIC is hidden from the network and the network only sees the MAC assigned to the virtual NIC - which can be configured, with some finesse, to be dynamic. It can also be used in the process of exploiting security vulnerabilities. This is called MAC spoofing.


What is the difference between hardware address and IPv4 address?

The hardware address or MAC address is encoded on the NIC by the manufacturer for unique identification of the NIC. This cannot be changed.... The IPv4 address is an internet address usually assigned by a DHCP server for each computer on a network. This address can be changed.


What is the purpose of media access control?

Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to most network adapters or network interface cards (NICs) by the manufacturer for identification.
