Summary

// what this is
Alflex is registered to MAC prefix 00:23:3C in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 00:23:3C, that block was registered by Alflex — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.

About this vendor.

Updated  ·  Confidence: High  ·  2 sources  ·  How this page is checked

A MAC address beginning with 00:23:3C matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to Alflex; the available evidence does not identify a device type or product for this prefix. The assignment identifies a registry holder, not a particular device, operating system, current vendor identity, or security state.

This is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values. That number describes the address space, not the number of devices or shipments. RFC 7042 explains that MAC identifiers combine an assigned prefix with additional bits, and that the Group and Local bits have special significance.

For this exact prefix, the first octet is 00: its Group bit and Local bit are both zero. Those bits are fixed for an exact literal prefix match. Changing either bit produces a different prefix; such a change is not variation within this assignment. A captured matching address supports a prefix match only.
