Clone MAC "AND" Vendor ID?

Routers 4G LTE, 5G NR, USB modems

I am running Unifi Gateways - not the lowest end equipment; not the highest end equipment as home networking goes.

I've noticed that if i clone the MAC of another device (say a pixel phone, who's vendor ID is Google Inc.), the vendor ID appears as DD-WRT.

I don't know if other higher end Networking systems would identify this as someone trying to spoof the ID, but being able to spoof the Vendor ID as well (which I thought that info came from the first few octets of the MAC) would be handy.

Thoughts?

Feature Request?

Even Possible?

Cheers.

It could be use full yeah, to have the oui identifier and then spoof something behind it to look more legitimate as a device.

However on the other hand, why would somebody prefer this functionality above the current mac cloning from the mobile phone?

Though I rather speak about the oui identifier instead of vendor id, since that confused me with dhcp options for wan which is required by some isps :yum:

I didn't know it was called an "oui identifier'. Yes, THAT.
. . . it was just labelled in the unifi OS as Vendor ID . . . Which I thougth would be picked up by the first couple of octets of the MAC that I used (which WAS from another device - not just 'Randomly' generated).

So, I don't know WHERE it got the DD-WRT from.

oh well, not critical for now. Just something I noticed and was hoping to help make picking out the 'spoofed' MAC more obscure.

Hi,

Do you want to clone MAC (oui) on the Ethernet (wired WAN) interface?

Currently the firmware v4.6 or later, the repeater (WWAN) function supported clone MAC.
