Advanced Electronic Design, Inc. — vendor identification is Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- Advanced Electronic Design is registered to MAC prefix
00:1C:8Fin the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:1C:8F, that block was registered by Advanced Electronic Design — 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 MA-L registry assignment only. The first-octet Group and Local bits are both zero and fixed for the literal prefix; changing either bit changes the prefix. The 24 remaining bits permit 16,777,216 suffix values, which does not indicate an actual device or shipment count.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with 00:1C:8F identifies an IEEE MA-L registry assignment to Advanced Electronic Design, Inc.; the supplied evidence does not identify a particular device or vendor product using it. The assignment establishes the registered organization name and prefix only. It does not establish deployment, traffic prevalence, current corporate identity, or a security state.
The prefix is 24 bits, leaving 24 suffix bits and 16,777,216 possible suffix values. That is the size of the address space beneath the prefix, not a count of devices, shipments, or addresses in use. RFC 7042 explains that 48-bit identifiers may use an initial OUI or a longer assigned prefix, with the remaining bits available for additional identifiers.
For this exact prefix, the first octet is 00: its Group bit and Local bit are both zero. Those bits are fixed by the literal prefix match. Setting either bit changes the prefix, so an address with a changed first-octet bit no longer matches 00:1C:8F. A match therefore supports identification of the registry assignment, not attribution to a specific product.
