And since this network device is part of your computer, it allows you to uniquely identify your computer. So, since the MAC address must be unique, it allows you to uniquely identify the network device. By the way, a router or a switch has a unique MAC address for each port, if the device supports wireless networks, then each wireless interface (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) also has its own MAC address. That is, when we talk about “changing the MAC address”, then you need to understand that there are several of these addresses. With desktop computers, the situation is usually the same. For example, laptops have at least two network interfaces: wired and Wi-Fi – each of them has a MAC address. By the way, if a device has several network interfaces, then each of them has its own MAC address. The MAC address is (must be) unique for each network interface. In this article, we will look at how to change (spoof) the MAC address on your Linux computer, as well as how to disable automatic spoofing of the MAC address. About what a MAC address is and how to view it has already been discussed in the article “ How to find the MAC address and How to find the manufacturer by MAC address”.
