Multiply hidden IP and MAC addresses

Tekniqueman · Nov 30, 2015

This is a mystery to me, I have around 30 units on the LAN, including 5 of Apples AirPort, 2 AppleTv, a Synology NAS, Sonos, iPhones, iPads and MacBooks and a Pc.
A scanning af the Lan shows 77 different MAC addresses most of them is with a hidden IP-address and an Apple MAC address.
Does Apple units use more than one IP-/MAC address? or where do they came from and how to avoid them? I have extracted a list and attached it.

Best regards

do you mean to multiply hidden IP with Mac addresses such as 192.168.0.1 * BB.C8.34.xxxx? It is a mystery.
devices with multiple interfaces all have a mac for them and an IP for them that isnt related. Its a bit like a PC if you connect to a network with no config or DHCP.

When I count the units in the Lan, I can't get 77 units so where do these extra hidden units come from? when I check the first part of the MAC addresses it reveil it's an Apple product, but I don't have that many Apple products on the Lan.

could be cached entry or that your network is exposed or that apple products have lots of interfaces like windows vista and above where if you typed ipconfig in windows you would see a whole bunch of interfaces that are also virtual. An interface is just something you use to connect to a network be it a tunnel, virtual interface, ethernet, sfp, dsl, wifi, etc. each interface has a mac address.
