AES PRODATA MAC prefix identification: vendor record only
Summary
- // what this is
- AES Prodata is registered to MAC prefix
00:A0:62in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:A0:62, that block was registered by AES Prodata — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- The first 24 bits match the registered prefix; its first-byte Group and Local bits are both fixed at 0. The remaining 24 bits allow 16,777,216 possible suffix values, not a device or shipment count. A matching address alone does not establish a particular device or product.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:A0:62 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to AES PRODATA; the record does not identify a device category. The prefix is a registry match, not proof of the manufacturer of a particular device or of current deployment.
This assignment fixes the first 24 bits, leaving 24 suffix bits, or 16,777,216 possible suffix values. That is a mathematical address-space count, not a count of devices or shipments. The exact prefix has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0 in its first byte (00); changing either bit produces a different prefix and is not a variation within this assignment.
A captured matching address shows the observed 24-bit suffix, but does not establish that the address reflects an authentic allocation or identify the device, product, or its safety. The IEEE CSV record supplies no assignment date.
