  <title>Zer da MAC helbide bat?</title>

  <p><em>MAC helbidea</em> zera da, fabrikatzaileak sareko hardware-elementu bati (adibidez haririk gabeko txartel bati edo ethernet txartel bati) ematen dion identfikatzaile bakarra. MAC akronimoak <em>Media Access Control</em> esan nahi du eta identifikatzaile bakoitza bakarra da gailu bakoitzerako.</p>

  <p>MAC helbide batek bi karakterez osatutako sei multzo ditu, bi puntuz bereizita. Adibidez, <code>00:1B:44:11:3A:B7</code> MAC helbide bat da.</p>

  <p>Zure sareko hardwarearen MAC helbidea identifikatzeko:</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Ireki <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Jarduerak</gui> ikuspegia eta hasi <gui>Sarea</gui> idazten haridun konexioetarako edo <gui>Wifia</gui> haririk gabeko konexioetarako.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Egin klik <gui>Sarea</gui> edo <gui>Wifia</gui> aukeran panela irekitzeko.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Egin klik <media its:translate="no" type="image" src="figures/emblem-system-symbolic.svg"><span its:translate="yes">ezarpenak</span></media> konexio aktiboaren alboan dagoen botoian.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Gailuaren MAC helbidea <gui>Xehetasunak</gui> paneleko <gui>Hardwarearen helbidea</gui> aukeran egongo da.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>In practice, you may need to modify or “spoof” a MAC address. For example,
  some internet service providers may require that a specific MAC address be
  used to access their service. If the network card stops working, and you need
  to swap a new card in, the service won’t work anymore. In such cases, you
  would need to spoof the MAC address.</p>
