How many 8 bit bytes will the MAC address occupy?

A MAC address is typically 48 bits in length, which is equivalent to 6 bytes. Since each byte consists of 8 bits, a MAC address occupies 6 bytes in total.


How many bytes first 6 characters of mac address?

A MAC address consists of 12 hexadecimal characters, representing 6 bytes in total. The first 6 characters of a MAC address represent the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) and correspond to 3 bytes. Therefore, the first 6 characters of a MAC address occupy 3 bytes.

What constitutesthe serial number portion of the MAC address?

The serial number portion of a MAC address is typically represented by the last three bytes (24 bits) of the address. In a standard MAC address, which is usually formatted as six groups of two hexadecimal digits (e.g., 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E), the first three bytes (the Organizationally Unique Identifier or OUI) identify the manufacturer, while the last three bytes serve as a unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer to each network interface card (NIC). This ensures that each device has a unique MAC address within its network.

How many digits are used in digital computer?

Used for what???The hexadecimal system is just a way to represent information. Each byte requires two hexadecimal digits. Modern computers have billions of bytes in RAM, and often a trillion or more bytes on the hard disk, so that would be billions or trillions of hexadecimal digits. Some examples of things that are often represented as hex digits: * An IPv6 address has 16 bytes - so, 32 hex digits. * A MAC address has 6 bytes (12 hex digits). * A register has a few bytes. The size varies, but is often 2-8 bytes.
