Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications at the data link layer of a network segment. Key features of a MAC address include:

Length and Format: A MAC address is 48 bits in length, typically represented as 12 hexadecimal digits (e.g., 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E).

Hexadecimal Representation: The 12 hexadecimal digits are often grouped into pairs separated by colons or hyphens for readability (e.g., 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E or 00-1A-2B-3C-4D-5E).

I hope the exam doesn't ask about the secret society code hidden in the MAC address. That would be a bit much.

I'm not sure, but I think A) makes sense because MAC addresses are typically 48 bits long.

I'm pretty sure it's 24 bits, but I guess 38 bits could work too. Who knows?
