Standardized data link layer address that is required for every

 

 

 

 

 

port or device that connects to a LAN. Other devices in the

 

 

 

MAC addressMedia

 

network use these addresses to locate specific ports in the

 

 

 

Access Control address

 

network and to create and update routing tables and data

 

M
