The MAC Vendor Lookup finds the MAC Address from this database and tells us which manufacturer originally manufactured this device and what is the prefix and postfix of a given MAC Address. Moreover, it tells us what country this device was manufactured in. All this information is helpful if you want to verify the generated mac address with the original vendor of this device in the OUI vendor database.

What is a MAC Address?

MAC Address or media access control address is a unique ID assigned to network interface cards (NICs). It is also known as a physical or hardware address. It identifies the hardware manufacturer and is used for network communication between devices in a network segment. MAC Address usually consists of six groups of two hexadecimal digits.

The network adapters or network interface cards always come with a MAC Address fed into hardware, usually in read-only memory (ROM) or BIOS system. The physical address is stored in the NIC by its manufacturer, which is why it is also called a burned-in address (BIA) or ethernet hardware address. There are several NIC manufacturers; some well-known are Dell, Cisco, and Belkin.

What is an OUI?

The first three sets of two hexadecimal numbers in a MAC Address identify the card manufacturer, and this number is called OUI (organizationally unique identifier). OUI is always the same for NICs manufactured by the same company. For example, let's say a network card manufactured by dell has a physical address: 00-14-22-04-25-37. In this address, 00-14-22 is Dell's OUI, which identifies that the device is by Dell. It may be interesting to know that all the OUIs are registered and assigned to the manufacturers by IEEE.
