What this means
The IEEE assigned the MA-L block 0002AC to 3PAR data. Every network interface they manufacture under this block has a MAC address beginning with these digits, followed by a unique per-device identifier. If a device on your network shows a MAC starting 00:02:AC, it is 3PAR data hardware.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns MAC prefix 0002AC?
0002AC is registered to 3PAR data in the IEEE MA-L registry.
What does the MA-L registry type mean?
An MA-L assignment, the IEEE's original OUI format, gives the vendor the first three octets and 16,777,216 device addresses under them. 3PAR data's block covers 16,777,216 addresses.
What devices use 0002AC?
