Tīkla aparatūras unikāls identifikators.

# Kas ir MAC adrese?

MAC adrese ir unikāls identifikators, ko ražotājs iestata tīkla aparatūrai (tādā kā bezvadu tīkla karte vai tīkla Ethernet karte). MAC no angļu valodas ir Media Access Control (fiziskās piekļuves vadība) un ir domāts, ka katrai iekārtai ir unikāls identifikators.

MAC adrese sastāv no sešiem pāriem simbolu, katrs atdalīts ar kolu.`00:1B:44:11:3A:B7` ir MAC adreses piemērs.

Lai noteiktu savas tīkla iekārtas MAC adresi:

Open the Activities overview and start typing Network.

Spiediet Tīkls, lai atvērtu paneli.

Choose which device, Wi-Fi or Wired, from the left pane.

The MAC address for the wired device will be displayed as the Hardware Address on the right.

Click the settings button to see the MAC address for the wireless device displayed as the Hardware Address in the Details panel.

In practice, you may need to modify or "spoof" a MAC address. For example, some internet service providers may require that a specific MAC address be used to access their service. If the network card stops working, and you need to swap a new card in, the service won't work anymore. In such cases, you would need to spoof the MAC address.
