Detailed explanation-1: -A MAC address consists of 48 bits, usually represented as a string of 12 hexadecimal digits (0 to 9, a to f, or A to F); these are often grouped into pairs separated by colons or dashes. For example, the MAC address 001B638445E6 may be given as 00:1b:63:84:45:e6 or as 00-1B-63-84-45-E6.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the recipients’ names of our letters are still the same. In such an analogy, the MAC addresses are the recipients’ names (identify a particular device and never change), and the IP addresses are the recipients’ addresses (identify an entity and can change over time).
Detailed explanation-3: -MAC addresses are primarily assigned by device manufacturers, and are therefore often referred to as the burned-in address, or as an Ethernet hardware address, hardware address, or physical address.
