The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) designated by the International Standards Organization (ISO) as the registering body for OUI, which is utilized in the first 3 octets of a MAC address to identify the manufacturer of a network enabled device.

Who assigns the first digits of the mac address?
OUI
What is the first 24 bits in a mac address called?
OUI
Who assigns the second six digits of the MAC address?
OUI
What does the OUI represent?
In computer terminology, OUI represents the first 8 bytes of the MAC address that identifies the manufacturer of the network hardware. OUI stands for "organizationally unique identifier."
What portion of a MAC address encodes an identifier representing the manufacturer of the card?
The first 3 bytes show this. It's called the OUI, Organizationally Unique Identifier. If you type "getmac" in windows, you should see the 6 byte address, and the first 3 bytes are the ones that you are concerned about. Each OUI is unique to the manufacturer of the network card.
How many bits are reserved for OUI in mac address?
There are 24 bits, or six hex characters, for the preamble of the MAC address (i.e., 00:11:22 in the MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55 or 0011.2233.4455).
What is the Vendor ID (OUI) of the Sources NIC?
The Vendor ID (OUI) of the Sources NIC is the unique organizational identifier assigned to the manufacturer of the network interface card by the IEEE. The OUI is the first three bytes of the MAC address assigned to that device.
Which 3 bytes of MAC address F2-A1-23-BC-D3-41 designates the unique station identifier?
The Unique Station Identifier for the mac address F2-A1-23-BC-D3-41 is BC-D3-41A MAC address is made up of two parts. The first three groups of the address is known as an OUI (Organisationally Unique Identifier). The OUI identifies the manufacturer of the network device.The last three groups of the address are set by the manufacturer and should be unique.
How many bits are there in Mac address?
48-bits. Probably so that there would be enough for every network device to have a worldwide unique address. This 48-bit address space contains potentially 2^48 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses. (2 to the 48th power.) Which will probably also run out (some day?) like IPv4 is running out and will be supposedly fixed by IPv6 which has a larger address spac
If a NIC has a MAC address of 00-07-E9-92-A4-40 who manufactured it?
Intel. See here: http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt
Define and describe the two parts of a mac address?
The first 6 digits is the OUI(Organizationally Unique Identifiers given by vendors and then the last 6 digits are used to represent the NIC uniquely with the OUI value.
What do the first three octets mean in mac address?
The UAA, or Universally Administered Address, is the most commonly used type of MAC address. This address is assigned to the network adapter when it is manufactured. The first three octets define the manufacturer, while the second three octets vary and identify the individual adapter. All network adapter manufacturers have their own code, called the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI).
