# MAC formatter and EUI-64 calculator

Paste a MAC in any notation — get every other form, the multicast and locally-administered bits named, and the RFC 4291 EUI-64 with its fe80:: derivation.

EUI-64 per RFC 4291 §2.5.1: the U/L bit is flipped, ff:fe is inserted between OUI and NIC halves. The fe80:: link-local row is the RFC 4291 derivation modern operating systems have largely replaced with random identifiers (RFC 8981) for privacy — shown because switches and older configs still derive it, not because your OS uses it.

- No OUI vendor lookup. The IEEE registry is a multi-megabyte dataset that changes weekly; a partial copy would guess, and a full copy is not worth your download. The first three octets are the OUI — look them up at the IEEE registry when you need the vendor.
- The U/L flip is part of the EUI-64 definition (the derived ID is locally-administered by construction); the tool shows both the input bits and the derived form.
- The fe80:: address is the standard derivation, shown for switches, static configs, and teaching — modern OSes randomize interface IDs by default (RFC 8981).
