ABB Bomem, Inc. MAC Prefix: Vendor Identified, Device Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- ABB Bomem is registered to MAC prefix
00:02:2Cin the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:02:2C, that block was registered by ABB Bomem — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A prefix match identifies a registry assignment, not a particular device, operating system, current legal identity, or security state. For this 24-bit prefix, the Group and Local bits in the first byte are zero; changing either creates a different prefix. The 24-bit suffix permits 16,777,216 possible values, not an observed device or shipment count.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:02:2C matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to ABB Bomem, Inc. The record identifies the assignee; it does not establish a device category, a product using the prefix, or the current identity of an organization operating a device. The captured address alone cannot identify a specific device or its security state.
This is one 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits, or 16,777,216 possible suffix values. That is a mathematical range, not a count of devices, shipments, or addresses observed in use. An exact prefix match establishes only that the address begins with the assigned value.
For 00:02:2C, the first-byte Group and Local bits are both zero. Addresses matching this exact prefix have those bit values fixed. Changing either bit changes the prefix and is not variation within this assignment. RFC 7042 describes these bit meanings and explains the relationship between MAC identifiers and assigned prefixes.
