ADEPT TECHNOLOGY MAC Prefix 00:10:EA — Vendor Identified, Device Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- Adept Technology is registered to MAC prefix
00:10:EAin the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:10:EA, that block was registered by Adept Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A match to this 24-bit prefix identifies the registry assignment only. The first-byte Group and Local bits are both zero; changing either changes the 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 00:10:EA matches the IEEE MA-L assignment to ADEPT TECHNOLOGY; the supplied evidence does not identify a device type. The assignment identifies the registry holder associated with this prefix, not a specific device, product, current corporate identity, or security state.
This is one 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for matching suffix values: 16,777,216 possibilities. That number describes the address space, not a count of devices or shipments. In the first byte 00, the Group bit and Local bit are both zero, consistent with the literal assigned prefix. Changing either bit changes the prefix and is not a variation within this fixed assignment.
The IEEE CSV record gives the organization name and MA-L registry, but no assignment date. RFC 7042 explains that 48-bit MAC identifiers use an initial assigned prefix and additional bits, and describes the Group and Local bits. A matching captured address is useful as a registry clue; it cannot establish what equipment generated it or whether that equipment is safe.
