First, let's describe what an IP address and MAC address look like, so that you know how to identify them.
IP ADDRESS: 4 sets of numbers separated by periods. Taylor campus IP addresses always start with 10.
Example: 10.11.12.13
MAC ADDRESS: 6 pairs of characters separated by either - or :. A MAC address can contain numbers 0-9 and letters A - F. (MAC Address is sometimes also called "Physical Address".)
Example: A1:B2:C3:D4:E5:F6
