Instructions/Notes

Click to learn more about MAC Address & OUI 

Every device that communicates on a network is assigned a unique 6-byte (48-bit) Media Access Control (MAC) address by the manufacturer. This address, also called a hardware address or physical address, is baked onto the ROM firmware (sometimes referred to as the burned in address) of the network card, router, firewall, network switch, wireless access point, and other networking devices manufactured.

Manufacturers are all assigned a unique set of 3-byte codes called the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI ). The 3-byte code (sometimes referred to as a vendor code) becomes the first three bytes (aka octets) of the 6-byte MAC address. The last three bytes is a unique value that the manufacturers assigns themselves (e.g., the serial number). No two network devices/cards in the world should have the same MAC address. If there happens to be two network devices/cards with the same 6-byte MAC address and they happen to be on the same network, reliable network communication cannot take place.

Where to Find Your MAC Address

Mac address example.

00-0F-66-D0-69-13 (can also be written as 000F.66D0.7654 or as 00:0F:66:D0:69:13)

In this example, the first 3-byte code (00-0F-66) is the OUI and identifies Linksys/Cisco as the manufacturer. The last three-byte code (D0:69:13) identifies the unique unit Linksys/Cisco manufactured.

With this arrangement, MAC address will uniquely identify a specific network device/card in the world. The first three bytes identifies the manufacturer and the last three bytes identifies the specific device unit and potentially identify the customer it is registered with.

MAC Address Block Small (MA-S)

MA-S is a 36-bit identifier that can be used to create various extended identifiers. It is most often used to create IEEE 802-defined MAC addresses (EUI-48 and EUI-64). The MA-S does not include assignment of an OUI.

The MA-S assignment may be appended with 12 organization-supplied bits to form an EUI-48 or 28 organization-supplied bits to form an EUI-64. The MA-S assignment may also be used as an OUI-36 as specified in various standards. The MA-S assignment may also be used to generate EUI-60 (deprecated), TCDI-40, MAC-48 (obsolete term), and create multicast addresses (per IEEE Std 802). The MA-S assignment may be used as an OUI-36 and to create various extended identifiers based on the OUI-36.

Applications making use of an MA-S assignment should make no assumptions about the bit pattern that will be present in the (24-bit most-significant) OUI portion of the assigned MA-S.
