MAC address in Firewall log

Networking

What MAC Address is displayed in the firewall log?
when I go to:
WUI-Logs-Firewall Logs

I see some weird source IP’s from CN, BR, CL, KE and the MAC address is the same.
I can’t figure out whose MAC address is that

That is the MAC address of the interface on your ISP’s Gateway system.

You can find it listed in the WUI menu Status - Network (others) in the ARP Table Entries at the bottom of that page.

Your ISP’s Gateway IP is listed on the System - Home page.

Hi,

for the sake of completeness: MAC addresses are a local thing, and are not visible to other non-local networks. Therefore, any MAC address appearing in conjunction with a public IP address that does not belong to a local network most likely belongs to a local gateway, modem, or similar networking equipment.

For a quick analysis on the vendor the MAC address range is assigned to, this tool might be helpful.

Thanks, and best regards,
