Locating the MAC Address of Cisco Meraki Devices

A MAC address is a unique hardware address that is useful for identifying a device. Cisco Meraki MAC addresses can be found using several methods.

Physical Inspection of Device

The MAC address can be found by physically locating the device information sticker on the device. An example of the information sticker on a MR16 access point is below.
