From time to time, especially when trying to attach a network device to the network, you may be asked to provide a MAC Address (also known as Media Access Control Address). A MAC Address is a static, or non-changing, code that is used to identify your device on the network. The format is six groups of two digits each, usually separated by hyphens or colons, such as 01-23-45-67-89-ab or 01:23:45:67:89:ab. Note that MAC Addresses only use the characters A-F and the numbers 0-9.
