ACTIS COMPUTER SA MAC prefix: device identification Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- Actis Computer is registered to MAC prefix
00:20:15in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:20:15, that block was registered by Actis Computer — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A match identifies the IEEE prefix assignment only; it does not establish a device, operator, deployment, or security status. The Group and Local bits are both 0 in the first byte; changing either yields a different prefix. The 24-bit suffix space contains 16,777,216 possible values, not an observed device or shipment count.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:20:15 identifies an IEEE registry assignment to ACTIS COMPUTER SA; the supplied evidence does not identify a device type or product using it. The assignment is a vendor-prefix match, not proof of who operates a device or where it is deployed.
The IEEE registry lists 00:20:15 as one 24-bit MA-L prefix assigned to ACTIS COMPUTER SA. Its first octet has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0 in the supplied address interpretation. RFC 7042 says OUIs and longer MAC prefixes are assigned with the Local bit zero and the Group bit unspecified; it does not establish how those bits are set in a deployed address.
The remaining 24 bits allow 16,777,216 possible suffix values. That is a mathematical address space, not a count of devices, shipments, or addresses actually in use. A matching captured MAC supports the prefix-assignment identification only; it does not establish a particular device, operating system, current vendor identity, or security status.
