AirMagnet, Inc: MAC prefix identification is limited to its registry assignment
Summary
- // what this is
- AirMagnet is registered to MAC prefix
00:0D:C8in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:0D:C8, that block was registered by AirMagnet — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- RFC 7042 describes the Group and Local bits and the structure of 48-bit MAC identifiers; the exact literal prefix fixes both bits as zero.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with 00:0D:C8 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to AirMagnet, Inc. That identifies the registry holder of the prefix; it does not establish the device, product, operator, or deployment where the address was observed.
This is the only prefix listed for the company in the supplied projection. The IEEE CSV records do not provide assignment dates. No supplied first-party material establishes company products, industry, website, or current organizational status, so those details remain unspecified.
The prefix is 24 bits long, leaving 24 suffix bits, or 16,777,216 possible suffix values. That is a mathematical address space, not a count of devices or shipments. Its first octet is 00: Group bit 0 and Local bit 0 are fixed for an exact literal prefix match. Changing either bit changes the prefix. RFC 7042 describes these bits' significance for MAC identifiers and explains OUI and longer-prefix structure.
