A media access control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for use as a network address in communications within a network segment. MAC addresses are recognizable as six groups of two hexadecimal digits, separated by hyphens, colons, or without a separator.
For debugging, users may need to check the MAC address before the Operating System has been installed.
There are two instances where users may need to debug:
1. MAC address has a conflict issue.
2. MAC address is not installed for some reason.
ifconfig -a. You must be root user or have appropriate permissions.

getmac /v /fo listfor full info).
