- 4
- 5
- 8
- 6
Explanation: A MAC address, which stands for “Media Access Control,” is made up of six octets, which are also referred to as bytes or pairs of hexadecimal numbers. A different section of the MAC address is represented by each octet, and the total length of the address is 48 bits. It is common practice to write the format as six pairs of hexadecimal numbers separated by colons or hyphens (for example, 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E).
