Functions

func GenerateMacAddress

func GenerateMacAddress(startAtZero bool) (net.HardwareAddr, error)

GenerateMacAddress generates a pseudo-random MAC address. A positional argument startAtZero can be set to true which results in the MAC address returning a pseudo-random MAC address with its last byte set to zero. This is useful for iterative sequences of MAC addresses based on the same pseudo-random set.

func IncrementMacAddress

func IncrementMacAddress(mac net.HardwareAddr) net.HardwareAddr

IncrementMacAddress increases the provided MAC address by 1 such that the implementer can use this method to sequence a series of MAC addresses in a set.
