Random IP & MAC Generator

Random

Useful when you need plausible-looking but throwaway addresses for unit tests, load generators, firewall-rule worksheets, or sample dashboards. IPv4 excludes loopback, link-local, multicast, broadcast, and the RFC 5737 documentation ranges. IPv6 is generated in 2000::/3 (global), fd00::/8 (ULA), or fe80::/10 (link-local). MAC addresses always set the multicast bit to 0; the locally-administered bit follows the UAA / LAA toggle.

Uses Math.random() — fine for mock data, not for cryptographic identifiers.

How to use

  1. Pick an address type and scope.
  2. Choose how many to generate (up to 500).
  3. Hit Generate — the bulk-copy button puts the whole list on the clipboard.

Frequently asked questions

Are the public IPv4 addresses safe to use in screenshots?
Random public IPv4s are likely to be in use — even your screenshot could collide with a real host. For docs prefer the RFC 5737 ranges 192.0.2.0/24, 198.51.100.0/24, or 203.0.113.0/24, which never appear on the public internet.
What does UAA vs LAA mean for MAC?
Universally-administered addresses come from the vendor's OUI registration with IEEE; locally-administered are set by the local admin (VMs, containers, virtualized NICs). The 2nd bit of the first octet distinguishes them.
