AES DATA INC. MAC prefix: vendor identified, device unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- AES DATA is registered to MAC prefix
08:00:80in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with08:00:80, that block was registered by AES DATA — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- This 24-bit prefix leaves 24 suffix bits, allowing 16,777,216 possible values. Its Group and Local bits are both zero and are fixed for an exact prefix match; changing either bit results in a different prefix. Possible suffix values do not indicate an actual device or shipment count. Ingenium documents AES Data company products, but does not map them to this prefix.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 08:00:80 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to AES DATA INC.; the supplied evidence does not identify a specific device using it. A prefix match establishes the registry assignment only, not the device’s maker, current legal identity, or security state.
Ingenium’s collection record describes AES Data as formed in 1974 to design and market stand-alone systems. It identifies the AES 90 as an early screen text-editing system and describes AES Plus, later called the AES word processor. These are company product details; the record does not link them to this MAC prefix.
The assigned prefix is 24 bits, leaving 24 bits for possible suffix values: 16,777,216 combinations, not a count of devices or shipments. Its first-byte Group and Local bits are both zero. Those bits are fixed for an exact 08:00:80 match; changing either bit produces a different prefix. RFC 7042 explains the MAC interpretation of these bits and prefix assignments.
