MAC address vendor

Akimbi Systems MAC prefix 00:13:F5: device identification unknown

Primary prefix
00:13:F5
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
Akimbi Systems is registered to MAC prefix 00:13:F5 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:13:F5, that block was registered by Akimbi Systems — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
The 24-bit prefix leaves 24 suffix bits, allowing 16,777,216 possible suffix values; this is not an observed device or shipment count. The first-octet Group and Local bits are both zero and remain fixed for an exact literal prefix match. RFC 7042 describes these bit roles. A prefix match indicates a registry assignment, not a particular device or security state.

A MAC address beginning 00:13:F5 is assigned in the IEEE registry to Akimbi Systems, but the available evidence does not identify a device type. The prefix identifies a registry assignment; it does not establish the device’s manufacturer, model, operating system, deployment, or safety.

The assignment is an MA-L block with a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values. That allows 16,777,216 possible suffix values; it is not a count of devices, shipments, or observed addresses. An exact prefix match establishes only that the captured address begins with these 24 bits.

For this prefix, the first octet is 00: its Group bit and Local bit are both zero. These bits are fixed for an exact literal prefix match. Changing either bit produces a different prefix; possible bit changes do not describe variation within this assignment. RFC 7042 explains the role of these bits in MAC addresses.
