ALFA LAVAL AUTOMATION AB MAC Prefix: Vendor Assignment, Products Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- ALFA Laval Automation AB is registered to MAC prefix
00:80:94in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:80:94, that block was registered by ALFA Laval Automation AB — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A match indicates the recorded registry assignment, not a particular device, product, deployment, or security state. This 24-bit prefix fixes the Group and Local bits at zero in its first byte; the 24-bit suffix has 16,777,216 possible values, not an observed device count.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 00:80:94 identifies an assignment registered to ALFA LAVAL AUTOMATION AB; the supplied evidence does not identify a device category or product using it. The IEEE MA-L record lists this legal name and prefix. A registry match establishes the assignment holder recorded in that CSV, not the identity, location, operating system, or safety of a device currently using a matching address.
The assignment is 24 bits long, so 00:80:94 fixes the first three bytes of a 48-bit address and leaves 24 bits for the suffix. That allows 16,777,216 possible suffix values; it is a count of possible values, not a device or shipment count. In the first byte 00, the Group bit and Local bit are both zero. RFC 7042 describes these bits as address interpretation indicators: for this exact prefix, their values are fixed.
Changing either bit changes the prefix and no longer matches this assignment.
The supplied IEEE CSV record provides no assignment date. The available material does not establish company products, industry, country, website, or related vendors, and it does not map a device type to this prefix. A captured matching address can support a registry-assignment lookup, but cannot by itself establish a particular product or deployed vendor device.
