MAC address vendor

Advanced Simulation Technology inc. — device identity unknown

Primary prefix
00:1A:18
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Advanced Simulation Technology is registered to MAC prefix 00:1A:18 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:1A:18, that block was registered by Advanced Simulation Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
An exact prefix match identifies the registry assignment only; it does not identify a particular device or product.

A MAC address beginning with 00:1A:18 is registered to Advanced Simulation Technology inc.; the available evidence does not identify a device category. The IEEE MA-L record lists one assignment, 00:1A:18, and indicates the United States. It does not establish which products use the prefix or whether a particular device currently uses it.

This 24-bit prefix leaves 24 bits for suffixes, or 16,777,216 possible suffix values. That is a mathematical address-space size, not a device, shipment, or active-address count. The prefix’s first octet is 00: its Group bit and Local bit are both zero. Those bits are fixed for an exact 00:1A:18 match; changing either bit yields a different prefix. RFC 7042 explains that EUI-48 identifiers can use an initial OUI followed by additional bits, and describes these Group and Local bits.

A prefix match supports identifying the registry assignment only. It does not establish a specific product, operating system, present vendor identity, traffic prevalence, or security status. Assignment dates are unavailable in these IEEE CSV records.
