MAC Address Lookup

Our MAC address lookup tool allows you to enter any MAC address and find its vendor. You can also do the opposite: enter a vendor and find out its range/prefixes of MAC addresses. To get started, simply enter the MAC address or the vendor’s name and click on the “Search” button.

Enter any MAC Address or OUI to check its vendor or enter a vendor name to check its MAC Address ranges and details.

About MAC Lookup

Our MAC address lookup tool utilizes a vast database of MAC addresses and vendor names.

When you enter a MAC address, our tool searches for it in the database and provides you with the associated vendor name. Similarly, by entering the vendor name, you can find all the MAC addresses associated with that vendor. 

How to Perform MAC Address/Vendor Lookup with Our Online Tool

Using our MAC address lookup is very easy and simple. Here are the steps that you need to follow:

To Check Vendor Details Using MAC Address or OUI Number

  1. Load the MAC lookup tool and click on the input box.
  2. Enter the MAC address or the OUI number into the input box
  3. Click on the blue “Search” button underneath
  4. Wait while our MAC identifier searches for the MAC address in the database
  5. The details for the MAC address or the OUI number will be provided. Click “Download MAC Details” or “Download Results” to save the required information to your device.

Note: The “Download MAC Details” will save only the vendor's information, while the “Download Results” will save the history data of the MAC address.

To Check MAC Address Prefixes for a Vendor

  1. Enter the name of the vendor in the input box of our tool
  2. Click on the blue “Search” button
  3. Once the process is complete, click on the “Download All Records” button to save the provided output to your device.

A complete list of the vendor's MAC addresses will be provided, detailing the address prefix, start address, end address, and company’s actual physical address.

Why You Need to Perform MAC Address Lookup?

We are proud to facilitate you with a powerful tool that takes only a few seconds to validate the MAC address—helping you find out which company manufactured the device and where. All with 100% accuracy and efficiency!

Now if you are wondering if you should use it, just know that—there can be several beneficial reasons for which you need to carry out a quick MAC OUI Lookup. Let's get to the details:

Network Identification:

MAC addresses, the unique identifiers assigned to network interfaces, such as Ethernet or Wi-Fi adapters, differentiate devices on a local network. Checking the MAC address can help to identify the specific device connecting to a network and track its activity.

Network Security:

MAC address filtering is a security measure employed in various networks as it allows administrators to specify which devices are allowed or denied access to the network based on their MAC addresses. Checking the MAC Address enables to enforce access controls.

Troubleshooting:

There can be various cases where identifying a device's media access control address enables troubleshooting network issues. For instance, if a device is experiencing connectivity problems, then checking its MAC address can assist in locating and diagnosing the problem.

Device Management:

MAC addresses ensure effective device management. This is why checking the MAC address enables organizations to keep track of the devices connected to their networks, manage device configurations, and maintain an inventory of networked devices.

FAQs

You will find everything related to the MAC Address here, which will clear up all your confusion.

What is a MAC Address?

MAC Address or media access control address is a unique ID assigned to network interface cards (NICs). It is also known as a physical or hardware address. It helps to identify the hardware manufacturer and is used for network communication between devices in a network segment.

MAC Address usually consists of six groups of two hexadecimal digits.

The network adapters or network interface cards always come with a MAC Address fed into hardware, usually in read-only memory (ROM) or BIOS system. The physical address is stored in the NIC by its manufacturer, which is why it is also called a burned-in address (BIA) or ethernet hardware address. There are several NIC manufacturers, including Dell, Cisco, and Belkin.

What is an OUI?

The first three sets of two hexadecimal numbers in a MAC Address identify the card manufacturer, and this number is called OUI (organizationally unique identifier). It is always the same for NICs manufactured by the same company. Let's say a network card manufactured by Dell has a physical address: 00-14-22-04-25-37. In this address, Dell's OUI is 00-14-22, which identifies that the device is by Dell. It may be interesting to know that all the OUIs are registered and assigned to the manufacturers by IEEE.

How to find your MAC Address?

To find MAC addresses, see the instructions below for popular operating systems.

For Windows

  • Go to Command Prompt
    • Press Windows + R
    • Type cmd and press Enter
  • OR
    • Click Start Button
    • Type cmd and press Enter
  • In Command Prompt, type ipconfig/all and press Enter
  • And locate the "Physical Address" or "HWaddr" field. The Physical Address should be in the format M:M:M:S:S:S. For example 00-14-22-04-25-37

For MacOS

  • Click on Apple Menu (usually in the top left corner), and click System Preferences
  • In System Preferences, click the View menu and select Network
  • In the Network window that just opened, click the Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Airport icon on the left.
  • Now click Advanced on the bottom right.
  • From the upper menu, click Hardware, and look for the MAC Address
  • Your MAC Address should be in the format: M:M:M:S:S:S. For example 00-14-22-04-25-37

For Linux or Unix

  • Perform the following as a superuser (or with appropriate permissions)
    • Type ifconfig -a
    • Look for "eth0". This is your default ethernet adapter
    • Now locate the field "HWaddr". The value displayed next to it is your MAC Address.
    • Your MAC Address should be in this format: 00-14-22-04-25-37

For iOS

  • Open Settings
  • Tap on General, the option in settings.
  • Now tap on About the option.
  • Locate the field Wi-Fi Address
  • The value against this field is your MAC Address
  • Your MAC Address should be in the format: M:M:M:S:S:S. For example 00-14-22-04-25-37

For Android

  • Method 1:
    • Open Settings
    • Select the option Wireless & Networks
    • Select Wi-Fi Settings
    • Select Advanced, and your wireless network card's MAC Address should appear here.
  • Method 2:
    • Open Settings
    • Select the option About Device
    • Tap on the option Hardware Info
    • Select Advanced, and your wireless network card's MAC Address should appear here.

Can I lookup a device by MAC address?

Yes, use our MAC lookup tool to identify a device's brand, type, and model based solely on its MAC address.

Is it possible to track a device's location using its MAC address?

Tracking a device's location through a MAC Address is not feasible or reliable as MAC addresses are primarily used for local network communication and do not inherently contain location information.

Can I find the MAC address of a device using its IP address? (7 ways)

  1. Through Command (Use the ARP command (e.g., "arp -a" in Windows or "arp" in Linux) Or Use Ping Command Followed by IP Address)
  2. Through DHCP Server Logs or by using DHCP Lease Table
  3. Through Network Tools like Network Configuration Management Tools, Network Monitoring Tools (Wireshark or TCPDump), Network Inventory Management Tools, or Network Scanners (Nmap or Angry IP Scanner), or Network Inventory Management Tools). As they often provide functionality to display MAC Addresses based on IP Addresses.
  4. Through Network Hardware (using Network Switches or Manufacturer Tools or Router Administration Page)
  5. Through DNS Reverse Lookup Or MAC Lookup Tool
  6. Through ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) Table
  7. Through Device Logs

Can I have multiple MAC addresses on a single device?

Each network interface has a single unique MAC Address, but a system with more than one network device can have more than one MAC Address. For example, a laptop with an ethernet port and wifi card can have 2 MAC Addresses for each device.

How to get a list of all MAC Addresses of a vendor?

To get a list of all MAC Addresses of a particular vendor (Suppose “Hewlett Packard”). Enter the vendor name in our MAC Address lookup. The MAC identifier will fetch a vendor's MAC Addresses and display the results.
