Get MAC Address Information

What Does It Do?

The getmac command displays the MAC (Media Access Control) addresses of all network adapters on your computer. Think of a MAC address as your network card's fingerprint - it's unique to your hardware.

Every network adapter (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, etc.) has a unique MAC address burned into it at the factory. This command shows you those addresses, which is useful for network configuration, troubleshooting, and security settings like MAC filtering on routers.
