In computer networking, a Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to most network adapters or network interface cards (NICs) by the manufacturer for identification, and used in the Media Access Control protocol sublayer. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer’s registered identification number. It may also be known as an Ethernet Hardware Address (EHA), hardware address, adapter address, or physical address.

Since a MAC Address is unique for most network adapters or network interface cards (NICs), it is important for IT administrators to know all the MAC addresses in LAN so as to quickly locate a network device when a network issue arises. Luckily we have tools to help us out. Let’s see how we can easily find MAC address in LAN with Colasoft MAC Scanner.
