ACER PERIPHERALS, INC. — registered MAC prefix; device type unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- ACER Peripherals is registered to MAC prefix
00:A0:60in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:A0:60, that block was registered by ACER Peripherals — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- An exact match on the first 24 bits identifies this IEEE registry assignment. The first-octet Group and Local bits are both zero and fixed for this prefix; changing either bit yields a different prefix. The 24-bit suffix space has 16,777,216 possible values, not an actual device or shipment count. RFC 7042 describes MAC identifier structure and these bit meanings.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:A0:60 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to ACER PERIPHERALS, INC.; the available evidence does not identify a device type. A prefix match establishes the registry assignment only, not the device, its vendor at the time of capture, or its security state.
This 24-bit prefix leaves 24 bits for suffix values, or 16,777,216 possible values. That is a mathematical address-space count, not a count of devices or shipments. The captured address can be compared against the first three octets to check for this assignment.
The prefix’s first octet is 00: its Group bit (bit value 01) and Local bit (bit value 02) are both zero. Those bits are fixed for an exact 00:A0:60 match; changing either produces a different prefix. RFC 7042 describes these bits and the structure of 48-bit MAC identifiers.
- Device type
- Unknown; the supplied evidence does not establish a device category for this prefix.
