2) (5 pts) Write a program to display portions of a MAC address. In computer networking, it is essential to be able to uniquely identify every piece of equipment attached to a network. Therefore, each piece of equipment is assigned a Media Access Control (MAC) address. A MAC address is typically displayed as six pairs of hexadecimal numbers separated by colons (e.g., 88:17:E8:90:E2:0A). The first three pairs of hexadecimal numbers in a MAC address (e.g., 88: 17:E8) identify the manufacturer of the hardware network adapter, whereas the last three pairs of hexadecimal numbers (e.g., 90:E2:0A) denote the serial number of the hardware network adapter. The user will enter a MAC address. For this program display the following: a) The portion of the MAC address that identifies the manufacturer of the hardware network adapter, with colons. b) The portion of the MAC address that identifies the manufacturer of the hardware network adapter, without colons. c) The portion of the MAC address that identifies the serial number of the hardware network adapter, with colons. d) The portion of the MAC address that identifies the serial number of the hardware network adapter, without colons. The program needs to check for valid MAC address entries and display an error if the entry is not valid
