Q-Free ASA MAC Addresses
This page provides information about MAC addresses and OUIs assigned to Q-Free ASA. The Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) is the first 24 bits of a MAC address and is assigned by the IEEE to uniquely identify a vendor or manufacturer.
About Q-Free ASA MAC Addresses
MAC addresses beginning with 00:12:8E: are manufactured by Q-Free ASA. When you see a device on your network with this OUI prefix, it indicates that the device was manufactured by Q-Free ASA.
The IEEE assigns OUI prefixes to manufacturers to ensure uniqueness in the global networking ecosystem. Q-Free ASA has been assigned the OUI prefix 00128E (among others) for use in their network devices.
Common Q-Free ASA Devices
Devices manufactured by Q-Free ASA that you might encounter on networks include:
- Network interface cards (NICs)
- Routers and switches
- Wireless access points
- IoT devices
- Embedded systems
- And other networking equipment
Identifying Q-Free ASA Devices on Your Network
To identify Q-Free ASA devices on your network:
- Use network scanning tools to list devices on your network
- Look for MAC addresses starting with any of the OUI prefixes listed in the sidebar
- Use our MAC address lookup tool to confirm the manufacturer
This can be particularly helpful for network inventory, troubleshooting, and security auditing.
MAC Address Format
A complete MAC address consists of 48 bits (6 bytes) and is typically represented in hexadecimal format with each byte separated by a colon or a hyphen. For Q-Free ASA devices, the MAC address would look like:
00:12:8E:XX:XX:XX
The first three bytes (00:12:8E) identify the manufacturer as Q-Free ASA, while the last three bytes are unique to each device.
