What is the Broadcast MAC Address?

Answer Posted / joop

Every mac address with the first bit = 1 is a broadcast of
multicast mac address.

So when the first character is odd (1,3,5,7,9,b,d,f) it is
a boadcast or multicast mac address

The second bit makes the difference between a broadcast and
a multicast address.
