$> cat infile
lalala
here is a mac address 00.30.05.be.c5.bc ok?
rubbish
here is not a mac address 00.30.0s.be.c5.bc ok?
another 00.30.05.be.c5.b1 ok?
litter
$> grep -i '[0-9A-F]\{1,2\}\.[0-9A-F]\{1,2\}\.[0-9A-F]\{1,2\}\..*' infile
here is a mac address 00.30.05.be.c5.bc ok?
another 00.30.05.be.c5.b1 ok?
