arg.. which mac address is numerical the smallest

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - arg.. which mac address is numerical the smallest

Posted: 11/20/2008 6:11:36 PM EDT

f111 1111 1111
2222 2222 2222
3333 3333 3333
4444 4444 4444
5555 5555 5555

I say the 2s and the f1s is the largest.
stupid STP test.

That won't help.

I know that f is 15 in dec, so of the left most numbers in all the examples, F is the largest, then 5, etc with 2 being the smallest.

You are correct - the F one is highest, and 2 is smallest.

I'll use C notation below...

265,055,603,069,201 == 0xF11111111111
37,529,996,894,754 == 0x222222222222
56,294,995,342,131 == 0x333333333333

Just for those who are unfamiliar with MAC addresses, they are a 48-bit number in Ethernet-type networks, though the length can vary with other technologies.

Quoted:
f111 1111 1111
2222 2222 2222
3333 3333 3333
4444 4444 4444
5555 5555 5555

I say the 2s and the f1s is the largest.
stupid STP test.

2's = smallest

F = 15...

That's like asking:

Is 9111 1111 1111 smaller than 5555 5555 5555?
