What this means
The IEEE assigned the MA-L block 00C0BE to ALCATEL - SEL. 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:C0:BE, it is ALCATEL - SEL hardware.
