MAC介质访问控制地址

1、MAC地址开放分类： 网络、电脑、网卡MAC地址1212MAC（Media Access Control, 介质访问控制）MAC地址是烧录在Network Interface Card(网卡,NIC)里的.MAC地址,也叫硬件地址,是由48比特长(6字节),16进制的数字组成.0-23位是由厂家自己分配.24-47位,叫做组织唯一标志符(organizationally unique ，是识别LAN（局域网）节点的标识。其中第40位是组播地址标志位。网卡的物理地址通常是由网卡生产厂家烧入网卡的EPROM（一种闪存芯片，通常可以通过程序擦写），它存储的是传输数据时真正赖以标识发出数据的电脑和接收

2、数据的主机的地址。也就是说，在网络底层的物理传输过程中，是通过物理地址来识别主机的，它一般也是全球唯一的。比如，著名的以太网卡，其物理地址是48bit（比特位）的整数，如：44-45-53-54-00-00,以机器可读的方式存入主机接口中。以太网地址管理机构(除了管这个外还管别的)（IEEE）（IEEEE：电气和电子工程师协会）将以太网地址，也就是48比特的不同组合，分为若干独立的连续地址组，生产以太网网卡的厂家就购买其中一组，具体生产时，逐个将唯一地址赋予以太网卡。形象的说，MAC地址就如同我们身份证上的身份证号码，具有全球唯一性。如何获取本机的MAC？对于数量不多的几台机器，我们可以这样获

3、取MAC地址：在Windows 98/Me中，依次单击“开始”“运行” 输入“winipcfg”回车。即可看到MAC地址。在Windows 2000/XP中，依次单击“开始”“运行”输入“CMD”回车输入“ipconfig /all”回车。即可看到MAC地址。修改网卡MAC地址的方法其实更改网卡MAC地址的功能不论98、2000还是XP，都已经提供了，只是平时大家都没有注意到而以。下面我就说说怎么更改。很简单哦。好了，现在先来看看WIN2000。在桌面上网上邻居图标上点右键，选"属性"，在出来的"网络和拨号连接"窗口中一般有两个图标，一个是"新

4、建连接"图标，一个是"我的连接"图标。如果你的机器上有两个网卡的话，那就有三个图标了。如果你只有一个网卡，那就在"我的连接"图标上点右键，选"属性"，会出来一个"我的连接 属性"的窗口。在图口上部有一个"连接时使用："的标识，下面就是你机器上的网卡型号了。在下面有一个"配置"按钮，点击该按钮后就进入了网卡的属性对话框了，这个对话框中有五个属性页，点击第二项"高级"页，在"属性"标识下有两项：一个是"Link Spee

5、d/Duplex Mode",这是设置网卡工作速率的，我们需要改的是下面一个"Network Address",点击该项，在对话框右边的"值"标识下有两个单选项，默认得是"不存在" ，我们只要选中上面一个单选项，然后在右边的框中输入你想改的网卡MAC地址，点"确定"，等待一会儿，网卡地址就改好了，你甚至不用停用网卡！另外，你也可以在"设置管理器"中，打开网卡的属性页来修改，效果一样。WINXP的修改方法跟WIN2000一样。在98下面修改和WIN2000、XP下差不多。在"网

6、上邻居"图标上点右键，选择"属性"，出来一个"网络"对话框，在"配置"框中，双击你要修改的网卡，出来一个网卡属性对话框。在"高级"选项中，也是点击"属性"标识下的"Network Address"项，在右边的两个单选项中选择上面一个，再在框中输入你要修改的网卡MAC地址，点"确定"后，系统会提示你重新启动。重新启动后，你的网卡地址就告修改成功！如果你想把网卡的MAC地址恢复原样，只要再次把"Network Address"项右

7、边的单选项选择为下面一个"没有显示"再重新启动即可。在WIN2000、XP下面是选择"不存在"，当然也不用重新启动了。In computer networking a Media Access Control address (MAC address) or Ethernet Hardware Address (EHA) or hardware address or adapter address is a quasi-unique identifier attached to most network adapters (NIC or Network

8、Interface Card). It is a number that serves as an identifier for a particular network adapter. Thus network cards (or built-in network adapters) in two different computers will have different MAC addresses, as would an Ethernet adapter and a wireless adapter in the same computer, and as would multip

9、le network cards in a router. However, it is possible to change the MAC address on most of today's hardware, often referred to as MAC spoofing.Most layer 2 network protocols use one of three numbering spaces managed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE): MAC-48, EUI-48,

10、 and EUI-64, which are designed to be globally unique. Not all communications protocols use MAC addresses, and not all protocols require globally unique identifiers. The IEEE claims trademarks on the names "EUI-48" and "EUI-64" ("EUI" stands for Extended Unique Identifi

11、er).MAC addresses, unlike IP addresses and IPX addresses, are not divided into "host" and "network"portions. Therefore, a host cannot determine from the MAC address of another host whether that host is on the same layer 2 network segment as the sending host or a network segment b

12、ridged to that network segment.ARP is commonly used to convert from addresses in a layer 3 protocol such as Internet Protocol (IP) to the layer 2 MAC address. On broadcast networks, such as Ethernet, the MAC address allows each host to be uniquely identified and allows frames to be marked for specif

13、ic hosts. It thus forms the basis of most of the layer 2 networking upon which higher OSI Layer protocols are built to produce complex, functioning networks.Contents hide1 Notational conventions2 Address details2.1 Individual address block3 Bit-reversed notation4 See also5 References6 External links

14、edit Notational conventionsedit Address detailsThe original IEEE 802 MAC address comes from the original Xerox Ethernet addressing scheme.1 This 48-bit address space contains potentially 248 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses.All three numbering systems use the same format and differ only

15、 in the length of the identifier. Addresses can either be "universally administered addresses" or "locally administered addresses."A universally administered address is uniquely assigned to a device by its manufacturer; these aresometimes called "burned-in addresses" (B

16、IA). The first three octets (in transmission order) identify the organization that issued the identifier and are known as the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI). The following three (MAC-48 and EUI-48) or five (EUI-64) octets are assigned by that organization in nearly any manner they please,

17、subject to the constraint of uniqueness. The IEEE expects the MAC-48 space to be exhausted no sooner than the year 2100; EUI-64s are not expected to run out in the foreseeable future.A locally administered address is assigned to a device by a network administrator, overriding the burned-in address.

18、Locally administered addresses do not contain OUIs.Universally administered and locally administered addresses are distinguished by setting the second least significant bit of the most significant byte of the address. If the bit is 0, the address is universally administered. If it is 1, the address

19、is locally administered. The bit is 0 in all OUIs. For example, 02-00-00-00-00-01. The most significant byte is 02h. The binary is 00000010 and the second least significant bit is 1. Therefore, it is a locally administered address.2If the least significant bit of the most significant byte is set to

20、a 0, the packet is meant to reach only one receiving NIC. This is called unicast. If the least significant bit of the most significant byte is set to a 1, the packet is meant to be sent only once but still reach several NICs. This is called multicast.MAC-48 and EUI-48 addresses are usually shown in

21、hexadecimal format, with each octet separated by a dash or colon. An example of a MAC-48 address would be "00-08-74-4C-7F-1D". If you cross-reference the first three octets with IEEE's OUI assignments,3 you can see that this MAC address came from Dell Computer Corp. The last three octe

23、e Channel and Serial Attached SCSI (as part of a World Wide Name)The distinction between EUI-48 and MAC-48 identifiers is purely semantic: MAC-48 is used for network hardware; EUI-48 is used to identify other devices and software. (Thus, by definition, an EUI-48 is not in fact a "MAC address&qu

24、ot;, although it is syntactically indistinguishable from one and assigned from the same numbering space.)The IEEE now considers the label MAC-48 to be an obsolete term which was previously used to refer to a specific type of EUI-48 identifier used to address hardware interfaces within existing 802-b

25、asednetworking applications and should not be used in the future. Instead, the term EUI-48 should be used for this purpose.EUI-64 identifiers are used in:FireWireIPv6 (as the low-order 64 bits of a unicast network address when temporary addresses are not being used)The IEEE has built in several spec

26、ial address types to allow more than one Network Interface Card to be addressed at one time:Packets sent to the broadcast address, all one bits, are received by all stations on a local area network. In hexadecimal the broadcast address would be "FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF".Packets sent to a multica

27、st address are received by all stations on a LAN that have been configured to receive packets sent to that address.Functional addresses identify one of more Token Ring NICs that provide a particular service, defined in IEEE 802.5.These are "group addresses", as opposed to "individual

28、addresses" the least significant bit of the first octet of a MAC address distinguishes individual addresses from group addresses. That bit is set to 0 in individual addresses and 1 in group addresses. Group addresses, like individual addresses, can be universally administered or locally adminis

29、tered.In addition, the EUI-64 numbering system encompasses both MAC-48 and EUI-48 identifiers by a simple translation mechanism. To convert a MAC-48 into an EUI-64, copy the OUI, append the two octets "FF-FF", and then copy the organization-specified part. To convert an EUI-48 into an EUI-

30、64, the same process is used, but the sequence inserted is "FF-FE". In both cases, the process can be triviallyreversed when necessary. Organizations issuing EUI-64s are cautioned against issuing identifiers that could be confused with these forms. The IEEE policy is to discourage new uses

31、 of 48-bit identifiers in favor of the EUI-64 system.IPv6one of the most prominent standards that uses EUI-64applies these rules inconsistently. Due to an error in the appendix to the specification of IPv6 addressing, it is standard practice to extend MAC-48 addresses (such as IEEE 802 MAC address)

32、to EUI-64 using "FF-FE" rather than "FF-FF."edit Individual address blockAn Individual Address Block comprises a 24-bit OUI managed by the IEEE Registration Authority, followed by 12 IEEE-provided bits (identifying the organization), and 12 bits for the owner to assign to individ

An IAB is ideal for organizations requiring fewer than 4097 unique 48-bit numbers (EUI-48).4edit Bit-reversed notationThe standard transmission order notation for MAC addresses, as seen in the output of the ifconfig command for example, is also called canonical format.However, since IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) and IEEE
