Bogen Communications MAC Addresses
This page provides information about MAC addresses and OUIs assigned to Bogen Communications. 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 Bogen Communications MAC Addresses
MAC addresses beginning with 00:18:4C: are manufactured by Bogen Communications. When you see a device on your network with this OUI prefix, it indicates that the device was manufactured by Bogen Communications.
The IEEE assigns OUI prefixes to manufacturers to ensure uniqueness in the global networking ecosystem. Bogen Communications has been assigned the OUI prefix 00184C (among others) for use in their network devices.
Common Bogen Communications Devices
Devices manufactured by Bogen Communications 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 Bogen Communications Devices on Your Network
To identify Bogen Communications 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 Bogen Communications devices, the MAC address would look like:
00:18:4C:XX:XX:XX
The first three bytes (00:18:4C) identify the manufacturer as Bogen Communications, while the last three bytes are unique to each device.
