MAC address vendor

00:1C:5A identifies an Advanced Relay Corporation registry assignment; device type unknown

Primary prefix
00:1C:5A
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Advanced Relay is registered to MAC prefix 00:1C:5A in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:1C:5A, that block was registered by Advanced Relay — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
For this 24-bit prefix, the first-octet Group and Local bits are fixed at zero; changing either bit yields a different prefix. The remaining 24 bits allow 16,777,216 possible suffix values, not a device or shipment count. A prefix match indicates a registry assignment, not a particular device, product, deployment, or security state.

About this vendor.

A MAC address beginning 00:1C:5A matches the IEEE MA-L assignment recorded to Advanced Relay Corporation. The supplied record does not identify a device type or map the prefix to a product, so a prefix match cannot identify a particular device or product.

This is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values. That is a mathematical address-space count, not a count of devices or shipments. For this exact prefix, the first-octet Group and Local bits are both zero. A changed value in either bit produces a different prefix; it does not describe variation within this fixed assignment. The match establishes the recorded registry assignment, not actual deployment, traffic prevalence, current vendor identity, or security state.
