MAC address vendor

Agnigate Technologies Private Limited — 98:A8:78 identification is unknown

Primary prefix
98:A8:78
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Agnigate Technologies Private is registered to MAC prefix 98:A8:78 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 98:A8:78, that block was registered by Agnigate Technologies Private — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
A matching MAC prefix indicates a registry assignment, not a particular device, current operator, deployment location, traffic prevalence, or security state. For 98:A8:78, the first three octets are the matching boundary; Group and Local bits in first octet 98 are both zero and fixed for an exact prefix match. The remaining 24 bits permit 16,777,216 suffix values, not an inferred count of devices or shipments. RFC 7042 describes the 48-bit MAC identifier structure and the Group and Local bits.

A MAC address beginning 98:A8:78 identifies an IEEE MA-L registry assignment to Agnigate Technologies Private Limited; the supplied evidence does not identify a device category or prove which vendor made a device using the address. The assignment record indicates India, but registry assignment alone does not establish where an address is deployed or who currently operates it.

This is a 24-bit prefix, so a match is based on the first three octets. The remaining 24 bits allow 16,777,216 possible suffix values; that is an address-space count, not a device or shipment count. In 98 hexadecimal, the Group bit (0x01) and Local bit (0x02) are both zero. These bits are fixed for an exact 98:A8:78 prefix match. Changing either bit changes the prefix and is not variation within this assignment.

Use the match as a registry clue, then check device labels, vendor documentation, or other independent evidence to identify the equipment. IEEE CSV records supplied here do not include assignment dates.
