Advanced Knowledge Associates — 00:1F:F9 vendor identification
Summary
- // what this is
- Advanced Knowledge Associates is registered to MAC prefix
00:1F:F9in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:1F:F9, that block was registered by Advanced Knowledge Associates — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A match identifies the registry prefix only; it does not establish a particular device, product, deployment, or security state. The 24-bit suffix allows 16,777,216 possible values, which is not an observed device or shipment count.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:1F:F9 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to Advanced Knowledge Associates; the available evidence does not identify a device type or product using the prefix.
This is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible combinations. That is a mathematical address-space count, not a count of devices, shipments, or observed addresses. The IEEE record gives a US address, so the country-level association is United States.
RFC 7042 explains that the first octet carries Group and Local bits. For 00, both are zero: the Group bit indicates an individual address, and the Local bit indicates globally assigned addressing. These bits are fixed for this exact prefix. A captured matching address supports a prefix match, not a conclusion about a particular device, operating system, deployment, or security state.

00:1F:F9. - Device identification
- Unknown; the available records do not map this prefix to a device category or product.
- Prefix boundary
- The first 24 bits must match
00:1F:F9; the remaining 24 bits can vary. - Group and Local bits
- Both are zero in the first octet
00, indicating individual and globally assigned addressing under RFC 7042. - Country
- United States, based on the country indication in the IEEE record.
