MAC generator

Random addresses with your choice of count, separator, case, U/L and I/G bits or a registered prefix; bit conflicts are reported, not rewritten.

Runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded

A fixed prefix can conflict with the requested bits. The generator reports that conflict instead of changing your prefix. Generation happens in your browser.

Choose the options above, then generate addresses.

What this tool does

The MAC generator creates random 48 bit addresses or 64 bit identifiers with a chosen format, case and flag bits. You can fix a prefix and randomize the remaining digits. A full prefix leaves no random digits, so it produces the same value each time.

How the bits work

The I/G bit selects individual (unicast) or group (multicast) delivery. The U/L bit selects locally or universally administered space. Locally administered unicast is the usual setting for test fixtures and virtual interfaces. A random value is not a registered device identity, even if its prefix resembles an IEEE assignment.

How to read the result

Each row is an independently generated address. Copy the list or download it as CSV or JSON. The options are kept in the URL fragment, which the server never receives.

Limitations

These addresses are suitable for examples and controlled tests. Before assigning one on a real network, check for collisions and follow your network's address policy. A random address does not grant ownership of a registered prefix.
