Tripp Lite MAC prefixes: vendor identified, device unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- Tripp Lite is registered to MAC prefix
00:15:9Dand 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:15:9D, that block was registered by Tripp Lite — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
About this vendor.
MAC addresses beginning with 00:15:9D or 00:06:67 match IEEE MA-L assignments listing the registry organization name Tripp Lite. The assignments do not identify a specific device or device category. Product and industry information: Unknown.
Each prefix fixes the first 24 bits of a 48-bit MAC address, leaving 24 suffix bits, or 16,777,216 possible suffix values per prefix. This is a mathematical address space, not a count of devices, shipments, or addresses in use. Both prefixes have Group bit 0 and Local bit 0 in their first byte. Those bit values are fixed for an exact prefix match; changing either bit produces a different prefix.
A matching capture can establish that its initial 24 bits correspond to a Tripp Lite registry assignment. It cannot establish the product, current operator, deployment, prevalence, or security state. The IEEE CSV records show no assignment dates. RFC 7042 describes 48-bit MAC identifiers as a prefix followed by additional bits and explains the Group and Local bit significance.
