Far South Networks MAC Addresses
This page provides information about MAC addresses and OUIs assigned to Far South Networks. 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 Far South Networks MAC Addresses
MAC addresses beginning with 78:AE:0C: are manufactured by Far South Networks. When you see a device on your network with this OUI prefix, it indicates that the device was manufactured by Far South Networks.
The IEEE assigns OUI prefixes to manufacturers to ensure uniqueness in the global networking ecosystem. Far South Networks has been assigned the OUI prefix 78AE0C (among others) for use in their network devices.
Common Far South Networks Devices
Devices manufactured by Far South Networks 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 Far South Networks Devices on Your Network
To identify Far South Networks 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 Far South Networks devices, the MAC address would look like:
78:AE:0C:XX:XX:XX
The first three bytes (78:AE:0C) identify the manufacturer as Far South Networks, while the last three bytes are unique to each device.
