The invention provides a downloading method of MAC addresses. The downloading method comprises the following steps: generating an MAC configuration file; generating an MAC address file, wherein the MAC address file consists of multiple specific SNs and MAC addresses; printing, by a server, each SN into a QR code, and sticking the QR codes to terminals of corresponding types; looking up, by the server, the MAC address file according to a rule, so as to obtain the MAC addresses corresponding to the SNs, and after the uniqueness and the effectiveness of the MAC addresses are verified, downloading the MAC addresses to the terminals. The downloading method has the advantages that the downloading method for the SNs and the MAC addresses is simplified; the server is configured to automatically judge the effectiveness and the uniqueness of the SNs and the MAC addresses, so that mistakes caused by a manual judgment procedure are reduced, and MAC fool proofing is effectively realized, namely the problems of repeat, non-continuity and the like of the MAC addresses are prevented, and the uniqueness of the SNs and the MAC addresses of factory terminals is guaranteed.
