Paxton Access Ltd MAC prefixes: device identity Unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- Paxton Access is registered to MAC prefix
00:0B:D6and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:0B:D6, that block was registered by Paxton Access — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A prefix match establishes the MA-L registry assignment, not a device identity or security state. Both 24-bit prefixes have Group bit 0 and Local bit 0 in their first octet; each leaves 24 suffix bits (16,777,216 possible values), not a device or shipment count.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with 00:0B:D6 or 6C:2A:CB identifies an IEEE MA-L assignment to Paxton Access Ltd; the supplied evidence does not identify a device category or product using either prefix. A prefix match establishes the registry assignment, not the device, its operator, or its security state.
Both are 24-bit prefixes, leaving 24 bits in a 48-bit address. For each exact prefix, the first octet has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0. Addresses beginning with either prefix therefore match a unicast, globally administered form at that boundary; changing either bit changes the prefix and no longer matches that exact assignment. RFC 7042 describes the 48-bit structure and these bit meanings.
Each prefix has 16,777,216 mathematically possible suffix values. That is an address-space count, not a count of devices, deployments, or shipments. The IEEE CSV records list two MA-L assignments to the same legal name and provide no assignment dates. No product catalog or device mapping is established by the supplied material.
