MAC address


Explanation:
MAC est un acronyme de 'Media Access Control". L'adresse MAC est une adresse physique attribuée à tout périphérique capable d'être mis en réseau (carte réseau, etc.) MAC s'écrit toujours en majuscules et n'a rien du tout à voir avec l'ordinateur Macintosh d'Apple.
Une adresse MAC a toujours le format suivant:
xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
xx étant un chiffre hexa (00 - FF)
