Hewlett Packard Enterprise — ~171 prefixes (MA-L)

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is the enterprise-infrastructure company spun out on 1 November 2015 when the original Hewlett-Packard Company split into HP Inc. (consumer PCs and printers) and HPE (servers, storage, and networking). Its MAC footprint is roughly 171 MA-L blocks, all carrying the single IEEE Organization Name "Hewlett Packard Enterprise" — the same consolidated registrant that now absorbs the former Aruba wireless/switching blocks. The sampled prefixes carry several current registry addresses: a Roseville, CA campus (8000 Foothills Blvd.), a Santa Clara / San Jose cluster (3333 Scott Blvd / 6280 America Center Dr, CA 95002), and a Spring, TX address (1701 E Mossy Oaks Rd). On the wire, an HPE OUI typically marks a ProLiant/Apollo server or its iLO out-of-band management port, an Aruba-lineage CX switch / access point / controller, or HPE storage (Nimble, 3PAR, SimpliVity). HPE is not a consumer vendor, so an HPE MAC strongly implies enterprise IT infrastructure on a managed segment. Two data-quality traps apply. First, the legacy OUI 00:30:6E renders as "Hewlett Packard" (pre-2015 HP) at an Enterprise Systems Tech. Center in Cupertino — a different legal entity that should not be attributed to post-2015 HPE. Second, IEEE publishes no registration date for any OUI; third-party "date registered" values (e.g. an "October 2002" artifact on lookup sites) are database scrape artifacts, not IEEE facts. HPE's recent security exposure is also worth flagging for defenders: HPE OneView, Aruba AOS-CX, and Aruba Instant On have all carried critical, in some cases actively exploited, vulnerabilities through 2025–2026.

NOTE FOR CHECKER — SLUG OVERLAP: a finalized entry vendor-hpe-aruba already exists for the identical IEEE Organization Name "Hewlett Packard Enterprise" (~170 prefixes, DONE 2026-06-06). This vendor-hewlett-packard-enterprise slug is a near-duplicate of the same registrant. R1 confirmed no existing vendor-hewlett-packard-enterprise master row, but the two slugs describe the same OUI set. Recommend the checker decide whether to publish this as a canonical alias/redirect of vendor-hpe-aruba, merge, or supersede — they should not both render as independent vendor pages for the same prefixes.

IEEE assignment

~171 prefixes → "Hewlett Packard Enterprise" (single current IEEE Organization Name, MA-L) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry (171 rows); cross-checked maclookup.app reports 172, netify.ai reports 181 (third-party counts drift)

Registry / block size

MA-L (24-bit OUI); ~171 blocks (~2.87B addresses). None in MA-M (the IEEE MA-M registry) or MA-S (the IEEE MA-S registry) [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, the IEEE MA-M registry, the IEEE MA-S registry

HQ / registry addresses

multiple current registry addresses on record — 8000 Foothills Blvd., Roseville, CA 95747, US; 3333 Scott Blvd / 6280 America Center Dr, San Jose/Santa Clara, CA 95002, US; 1701 E Mossy Oaks Rd, Spring, TX 77389, US; some blocks list Santa Clara, CA 95054 [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry

Analyst note

An HPE OUI typically marks a server or its iLO management port, or Aruba-lineage switching/wireless — both expected on managed enterprise segments. HPE is not a consumer vendor, so an HPE MAC outside an enterprise context warrants scrutiny; given active CVE exploitation of HPE management gear, treat HPE management-interface MACs on untrusted segments as warranting firmware-currency checks.
