Dell Inc. — ~182 prefixes (MA-L)

Dell holds roughly 182 MA-L blocks registered to "Dell Inc." at One Dell Way, Round Rock, TX — among the early cohort of IEEE registrants. The oldest blocks (00:C0:4F, 00:B0:D0) predate the modern company name, and a separate registrant, "Dell EMC," holds around 8 blocks reflecting the 2016 EMC merger that formed Dell Technologies. For an analyst, a Dell OUI maps cleanly to genuine Dell client or server hardware — Latitude/XPS/Inspiron/OptiPlex on the client side, PowerEdge servers and PowerStore/PowerVault storage on the infrastructure side. One operational detail worth knowing: Dell servers expose an iDRAC (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller) baseboard management controller that commonly appears as a second Dell-OUI MAC distinct from the host NIC, so seeing two Dell MACs on one physical server usually means "host NIC plus iDRAC management interface" — a cue to segment that management port onto a dedicated VLAN. Dell uses only MA-L registrations here; there's no chipset-vs-brand ambiguity as with Intel or Realtek.

IEEE assignment

~182 prefixes → Dell Inc., registered Round Rock, TX, US [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L

Registry / block size

MA-L (24-bit OUI) only; ~182 IEEE blocks [Confirmed assignment] — maclookup.app (IEEE-derived; count is a current third-party snapshot and drifts). NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes NO assignment/registration date (the IEEE MA-L registry columns are only Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address); any "date registered" from third-party tools is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.

Special note

Oldest blocks 00:C0:4F and 00:B0:D0 predate the modern name. "Dell EMC" is a separate registrant (~8 blocks) from the 2016 merger. iDRAC BMC interfaces appear as a second Dell-OUI MAC on servers. [Confirmed] — maclookup.app/vendors/dell-emc

Analyst note

A Dell OUI almost always identifies genuine Dell client or server hardware; a second Dell MAC on the same host frequently indicates an iDRAC management interface worth segmenting onto a management VLAN.
