MAC address vendor

21168 MAC Prefix: Registry Holder, Device Unknown

Primary prefix
00:25:C3
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
21168 is registered to MAC prefix 00:25:C3 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:25:C3, that block was registered by 21168 — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.

A MAC address beginning 00:25:C3 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to 21168; the available evidence does not identify a device type or product for this prefix. A match establishes that the address begins with this assigned 24-bit prefix, not which device sent it, who operates that device today, or whether it is safe. [Source: https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.csv]

The assignment record gives the organization name 21168 and an unambiguous country indication, MX (Mexico). It does not provide evidence about the registrant’s products, industry, website, or current legal identity. No other prefixes are listed for this registry name in the supplied records. [Source: https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.csv]

The prefix fixes the first 24 bits, leaving 24 suffix bits: 16,777,216 possible suffix values. In 00, the Group bit (01) and Local bit (02) are both zero, so this literal prefix denotes individual and globally administered address space under RFC 7042’s bit interpretation. Changing either bit changes the prefix and no longer matches 00:25:C3; suffix capacity is not a count of devices or shipments. [Source: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7042.txt]
