Here is the regular expression for MAC address validation:
^((([0-9A-Fa-f]{2}:){5})|(([0-9A-Fa-f]{2}-){5}))[0-9A-Fa-f]{2}$
^ - begin of the string
[0-9A-Fa-f] - any hex digit
{2} - repeating 2 times
: - a single :
{5} - repeating 5 times
| - the OR logic
([0-9A-Fa-f]{2}-){5} - 5 times of 2 hex digits followed by -
$ - end of the string
