Media Access Control or Ethernet hardware or physical address.

This works in Data Link layer, 48 bit address, no two
network cards will have same Mac address.

MAC address is burnt in the network card by the vendor.

0010a is Vendor Code 1234cd is Card No.



Switches and bridges learn Mac address from the source Mac
address to forward the broadcast based on layer two
addressing.
