Private
MAC address prefix 20:5B:2A is registered to Private in the IEEE OUI registry. Any device whose MAC address begins with 20:5B:2A has a network interface built by Private. 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 20:5B:2A:00:00:00 to 20:5B:2A:FF:FF:FF.

FAQ
- Which company owns MAC address prefix 20:5B:2A?
- MAC address prefix 20:5B:2A is registered to Private in the IEEE Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) registry. Any device whose MAC address begins with 20:5B:2A has a network interface built by Private.
- What is the OUI 20:5B:2A?
- 20:5B:2A is an Organizationally Unique Identifier — the first three octets (24 bits) of a MAC address, assigned by the IEEE to Private. It covers every address from 20:5B:2A:00:00:00 to 20:5B:2A:FF:FF:FF, or 16,777,216 addresses in total. It is also written 20-5B-2A.
- How do I find the manufacturer of a MAC address?
- Take the first three octets of the address — in 20:5B:2A:00:00:00 that is 20:5B:2A — 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.
