Detailed explanation-1: -The first three sets of two hexadecimal numbers in a MAC Address identify the card manufacturer, and this number is called OUI (organizationally unique identifier). OUI is always the same for NICs manufactured by the same company.
Detailed explanation-2: -A MAC address is made up of 48 bits. And those 48 bits, they’re divided into two different groupings, 24 bits each. The first 24 bits, those are unique to the specific manufacturer or vendor. Those bits are called the OUI, or organizationally unique identifier.
Detailed explanation-3: -A MAC address (media access control address) is a 12-digit hexadecimal number assigned to each device connected to the network. Primarily specified as a unique identifier during device manufacturing, the MAC address is often found on a device’s network interface card (NIC).
Detailed explanation-4: -Just like each house has it’s own postal address, every device connected on a network has a Media Access Control (MAC) address, that uniquely identifies it. The MAC address is tied to the Network Interface Controller (NIC), a subcomponent of the larger device.
