Which company owns MAC address prefix 00:80:C2?

MAC address prefix 00:80:C2 is registered to IEEE 802.1 Chair in the IEEE Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) registry. Any device whose MAC address begins with 00:80:C2 has a network interface built by IEEE 802.1 Chair.

What is the OUI 00:80:C2?

00:80:C2 is an Organizationally Unique Identifier — the first three octets (24 bits) of a MAC address, assigned by the IEEE to IEEE 802.1 Chair. It covers every address from 00:80:C2:00:00:00 to 00:80:C2:FF:FF:FF, or 16,777,216 addresses in total. It is also written 00-80-C2.

How do I find the manufacturer of a MAC address?

Take the first three octets of the address — in 00:80:C2:00:00:00 that is 00:80:C2 — and look that prefix up in the IEEE OUI registry. If the second-lowest bit of the first octet is set, the address is locally administered (a randomized or private MAC), which belongs to no manufacturer and will not resolve; modern phones and laptops use these by default on each network.

Where is IEEE 802.1 Chair located?

IEEE 802.1 Chair is listed at c/o RAC Administrator , IEEE Piscataway NJ US 08554 in the IEEE OUI registry entry for 00:80:C2. This is the address the organization registered with the IEEE, which may differ from its current operating address.

IEEE 802.1 Chair

MAC address prefix 00:80:C2 is registered to IEEE 802.1 Chair in the IEEE OUI registry. Any device whose MAC address begins with 00:80:C2 has a network interface built by IEEE 802.1 Chair. This prefix (the OUI, or Organizationally Unique Identifier) is assigned by the IEEE and is the first three octets of the address — it covers every MAC from 00:80:C2:00:00:00 to 00:80:C2:FF:FF:FF.
