MAC Address Generator FAQs
Common questions about generating MAC addresses
What is a MAC address?
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a network segment. It consists of 48 bits (6 bytes) typically displayed as 12 hexadecimal digits.
What formats are supported?
You can generate MAC addresses in three formats: colon-separated (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX), hyphen-separated (XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX), or dot-separated (XXXX.XXXX.XXXX).
Are these MAC addresses valid?
The generated MAC addresses follow the correct format and structure. However, they are randomly generated and may conflict with real MAC addresses. Use them only for testing purposes.
Can I generate multiple addresses?
Yes! You can generate up to 100 MAC addresses at once. Each address will be displayed in a list with individual copy buttons.
Is the data stored?
No, all MAC address generation happens entirely in your browser. We do not store, log, or transmit any generated addresses. Your data remains completely private.
What are MAC addresses used for?
MAC addresses are used for network communication at the data link layer. They help identify devices on a local network and are used by switches and routers to forward data packets.
