also called physical address. The hardware address is associated with a particular network device.
The hardware address is also referred to as the physical address or MAC address and consists of a dozen hexadecimal digits (0-9 and a-f) typically expressed in six pairs of hex digits separated by hyphens. This address is often printed on the wireless card/device itself and can usually also be found through the software that configures your device.
The physical address for the NIC (network interface card). Used by the low-level hardware layers of a network. TCP/IP's ARP protocol translates IP addresses into hardware addresses. The NIC vendor gets the address from the IEEE and assigns it permanently to the NIC. Also called the MAC (Media Access Control) address.
The low-level address used by physical networks. Each type of network hardware has its own addressing scheme.
an address assigned to the network adapter during
(sometimes called MAC address or ethernet address) All ethernet cards, whether wired or wireless, have a 12-digit hexidecimal number (which means it can contain the letters A through F in addition to numerals) that uniquely identifies it. When you connect your machine to the network, the network uses this number to verify that your machine is registered. For information on how to find your card's hardware address, see Finding Your Hardware Address. An example of a hardware address is 00E02938A48C, sometimes also written as 00:E0:29:38:A4:8C.
An addressing scheme used by hardware to identify hosts on a network. Ethernet interfaces use a 48 bit addressing scheme. Each Ethernet interface is given a unique hardware address when manufactured.
This is a number that uniquely identifies a host in a physical network at the media access layer. Examples of this are Ethernet Addresses and AX.25 Addresses.
Also called physical address or MAC-layer address, a data link layer address associated with a particular network device. Contrasts with a network or protocol address, which is a network layer address. For example, 0800.0786.175C (which can be written a variety of ways including 08:00:07:86:17:5C or 08000786175C) is a hardware address while 128.135.12.73 is a network or protocol address (specifically TCP/IP).
Another name for MAC Address.
A device's physical or media access control (MAC) address.
Also called the physical address, it is a data link address associated with a particular network device.
A unique address associated with a particular network device
The low level address used by physical networks. Also known as the MAC address.
The address that identifies the connection device between the network controller of a host and the network cable. See also address.
The low-level address associated with each device on a network, usually corresponding to the unique identifier of the network interface card (NIC). Ethernet addresses are 48 bits.
The physical address for the NIC, which is used by low-level hardware layers of the network, including DSL bridges.
