  • OUI octet 1 (hex as decimal 0–255)

    The “OUI octet 1 (hex as decimal 0–255)” value used in this tool’s formula. Adjust it to see results update live.

  • OUI octet 2

    The “OUI octet 2” value used in this tool’s formula. Adjust it to see results update live.

  • OUI octet 3

    The “OUI octet 3” value used in this tool’s formula. Adjust it to see results update live.

OUI = first 24 bits (3 octets); matched against IEEE-assigned manufacturer blocks.

Map OUI prefix octets to common network hardware vendors for inventory and troubleshooting. Planning estimates only — verify with production tools and vendor pricing where applicable.

When to use this MAC Address Vendor Lookup

Common use cases

  • Map OUI prefix octets to common network hardware vendors for inventory and troubleshooting.
  • Sanity-check with this scenario: 00:1A:2B → common enterprise switch/router vendor range.
  • The relationship is: OUI = first 24 bits (3 octets); matched against IEEE-assigned manufacturer blocks.

Localized examples

  • Networking & IT Infrastructure: the example on this page uses the same formula as the widget.

What you get

  • Fields: OUI octet 1 (hex as decimal 0–255), OUI octet 2, OUI octet 3
  • OUI = first 24 bits (3 octets); matched against IEEE-assigned manufacturer blocks.
  • Scenario on the page: 00:1A:2B → common enterprise switch/router vendor range.

How to Calculate MAC Address Vendor Lookup

  1. 1Enter OUI octet 1 (hex as decimal 0–255), OUI octet 2, OUI octet 3. Use the values you have, not a catalog average, unless that is all you know.
  2. 2OUI = first 24 bits (3 octets); matched against IEEE-assigned manufacturer blocks.
  3. 3Scenario: 00:1A:2B → common enterprise switch/router vendor range.
  4. 4Compare the result to last month’s invoice or a vendor calculator before you commit capacity.

Governing formula

OUI = first 24 bits (3 octets); matched against IEEE-assigned manufacturer blocks.

Variable definitions

  • oui1

    OUI octet 1 (hex as decimal 0–255)

    The “OUI octet 1 (hex as decimal 0–255)” field. Default 0; typical range 0–255.

  • oui2

    OUI octet 2

    The “OUI octet 2” field. Default 26; typical range 0–255.

  • oui3

    OUI octet 3

    The “OUI octet 3” field. Default 43; typical range 0–255.

  • Closed-form math (OUI = first 24 bits (3 octets); matched against IEEE-assigned manufacturer blocks.) misses idle time, egress, packet loss, and reserved capacity on the real bill.
