Alaris, Inc. — MAC prefix identifies a registry assignment; device type Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- Alaris is registered to MAC prefix
00:B0:94in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:B0:94, that block was registered by Alaris — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A match establishes the assigned 24-bit prefix only; the remaining 24 bits allow 16,777,216 possible suffix values, not an observed device count. The exact prefix has Group and Local bits set to zero. Changing either bit changes the literal prefix match.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:B0:94 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to Alaris, Inc. The available record does not identify a device category, so the prefix alone cannot tell you what kind of device it is.
This is one 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values. That is a mathematical address-space count, not a count of devices or shipments. A match identifies the registered prefix only; it does not establish who currently operates an address or whether it is safe.
For this literal prefix, the first-byte Group bit and Local bit are both zero, according to the address interpretation data. RFC 7042 identifies the Group and Local bits as having special significance in MAC addresses and gives their masks, but the supplied excerpt does not explain what the Local bit indicates. Setting either bit changes the first byte, so the address no longer matches this exact prefix. The supplied IEEE CSV records contain no assignment dates.
