Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The MAC address is set by the manufacturer and is unique to each NIC. It cannot be changed easily, and should not be modified without a specific reason, as it is used to identify the device on the network. The other options are not correct: the network administrator can configure the NIC settings, but not the MAC address itself; the DHCP server assigns an IP address dynamically, not the MAC address; the computer restart does not affect the MAC address; and the operating system can read the MAC address, but not change it directly.
