Accelent Systems, Inc. MAC Prefix: Vendor Identified, Device Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- Accelent Systems is registered to MAC prefix
00:04:34in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:04:34, that block was registered by Accelent Systems — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- The exact 24-bit prefix fixes the Group and Local bits at 0. A match identifies the registry assignment, not a particular device or actual deployment.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with 00:04:34 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to Accelent Systems, Inc.; the record does not identify a device type. The assignment lists the country as the United States. [https://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.csv]
00:04:34 is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values. That is a mathematical address space, not a count of devices, shipments, or observed network use. A captured match establishes the prefix match only; it does not establish a particular product, operating system, current vendor identity, or security state.
The first octet, 00, has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0 for this exact prefix. These bits are fixed for literal matches to 00:04:34; changing either bit changes the prefix. RFC 7042 describes 48-bit identifiers as using an initial assigned prefix followed by additional bits, and discusses the Group and Local bits. [https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7042.txt]
