Panasonic Europe Ltd. MAC Prefixes: Vendor Identified, Device Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- Panasonic Europe is registered to MAC prefix
00:D0:60and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:D0:60, that block was registered by Panasonic Europe — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A match identifies an MA-L registry assignment only. Each 24-bit prefix leaves 24 suffix bits, or 16,777,216 possible suffix values; this is not a device or shipment count. The first octet 00 has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0, fixed for an exact literal prefix match; changing either bit changes the prefix. RFC 7042 describes MAC identifier and bit interpretation.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with either listed prefix is registered to Panasonic Europe Ltd.; the assigned prefixes do not identify a specific device category. The available IEEE records name the same legal entity for both assignments and indicate Germany. They do not establish which products, if any, use these prefixes.
The assignments are 00:D0:60 and 00:0F:12, both MA-L 24-bit prefixes. Each fixes the first 24 bits of a 48-bit address, leaving 24 suffix bits, or 16,777,216 possible suffix values per prefix. These possibilities are address values, not a count of devices or shipments.
In both prefixes, the first octet is 00: its least significant Group bit and the adjacent Local bit are both zero. Those bits are fixed by an exact match to either prefix; changing either bit changes the prefix. RFC 7042 describes the Group and Local bits and the structure of 48-bit MAC identifiers. A match supports registry attribution only; it does not establish a device, product, operating system, deployment, or safety status.
