Alge-Timing GmbH MAC prefix 2C:3F:3E — vendor identified; device type unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- Alge-Timing is registered to MAC prefix
2C:3F:3Ein the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with2C:3F:3E, that block was registered by Alge-Timing — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- The first-octet Group and Local bits are both 0 for the exact 2C:3F:3E prefix. Changing either bit yields a different prefix. The 24-bit assignment leaves 24 suffix bits, or 16,777,216 possible values; this is not a device or shipment count. A match establishes only that the captured address begins with this registered prefix.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 2C:3F:3E matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to Alge-Timing GmbH; the available records do not identify a device type or product for this prefix. This identifies the registration entry, not a particular device, deployment, or current vendor relationship.
The assignment is 24 bits long, leaving 24 bits for the suffix. That permits 16,777,216 possible suffix values, a mathematical address-space count rather than a count of devices or shipments. A captured matching address can establish that its first 24 bits match this assignment.
The listed MA-L record assigns prefix 2C:3F:3E to Alge-Timing GmbH and gives the country indication AT (Austria). The first octet, 2C, has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0 in the supplied address interpretation. RFC 7042 identifies these as the Group and Local bits and states that OUI and longer MAC prefixes are assigned with the Local bit zero and the Group bit unspecified. These bit values describe the listed prefix; changing either bit changes the prefix.
