OUI Identification Reference

1. 24-bit OUI Blocks

The original IEEE assignment mechanism where the first 3 bytes uniquely identify a major hardware manufacturer.

2. Extended Registry Blocks

Due to exhaustion, IEEE introduced MA-L, MA-M, and MA-S blocks, expanding flexibility for device manufacturers worldwide.

Practical guidance for MAC Address Lookup

Parsers and viewers interpret the supplied source format. Confirm that the input is complete and in the expected format, then compare extracted fields with the original before acting on them. Pay attention to these page fields: MAC Address or OUI Prefix:, Lookup Results & Vendor:, Address Breakdown & Flags:. Confirm which fields are inputs, options, or output areas before processing.

Network results depend on address family, prefix length, protocol, DNS state, and source data. Confirm these assumptions before changing network or firewall configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

You can enter standard colon-separated (`00:11:22`), hyphen-separated (`00-11-22`), period-separated (`0011.2233`), continuous hex strings, or even search by vendor company name.

No. Common vendor mappings and algorithmic checks are processed entirely client-side for immediate performance.

If the second least significant bit of the first octet is set to 1, the address is assigned manually by an administrator rather than the hardware vendor.
