Assignment of Ethernet Address Ranges to groups at GSI
Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI)
GSI has received an Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) and company_id from IEEE (
see attachment). According to this, GSI may assign Ethernet (MAC) Addresses starting with
00-26-7B
to devices built or programmed at GSI.
To avoid duplicate assignments inside this range, subranges are assigned to GSI groups by the IT department as a single, central administrative authority. The ranges contain 256 addresses each, several ranges may be assigned to the same group.
