Comparison
Full Form Media Access Control Address
Identifies the connection of a device on the
Purpose
internet
Length 32 bits (IPv4) or 128 bits (IPv6)
Given by Manufacturer of the NIC card
32-bit IP address (in decimal version) :
Example
201.160.91.127
2) 1A – 16 – C5 – 22 – FF – FF is an example of a MAC address.
Tick (✓) to show what the first six and last six hexadecimal digits represent.
Manufacturer ID no. Product Serial No.
First Six digits
(1A – 16 – C5)
Last Six digit
(22 – FF – FF)
3. The following chart contains one IP and one MAC address.
Tick (✓) to identify the addresses.

4. The following address is the breakdown of a 32 bits based IP address in Binary notation:
11000000 . 10101000 . 00000001 . 00000101
8 bits 8 bits 8 bits 8 bits
8 bits = 1 byte
8 x 4 = 32 bits or 4 bytes
Show the decimal notation of the above IP address:
