MAC-VENDOR(5)		       File Formats Manual		   MAC-VENDOR(5)

NAME
     mac-vendor - Ethernet vendor file for arp-scan

SYNOPSIS
     mac-vendor.txt

DESCRIPTION
     The mac-vendor.txt contains Ethernet MAC to vendor string mappings for arp-
     scan.  It is used in addition to the IEEE OUI listings in ieee-oui.txt.  It
     is  for  MAC-vendor  mappings that are not covered by the IEEE manufacturer
     listings.

     Each line in the mac-vendor.txt file contains a MAC-vendor mapping  in  the
     form:

     <MAC-Prefix><TAB><Vendor>

     Where <MAC-Prefix> is the prefix of the MAC address in hex, and <Vendor> is
     the  name of the vendor.  The prefix can be of any length from two hex dig-
     its (one octet) to twelve hex digits (six octets, the entire Ethernet hard-
     ware address).

     Alphabetic hex characters [A-F] may use either upper  or  lower  case,  and
     seperator	symbols  such  as ":", "-" and "." are ignored. This permits the
     use of standard format MAC addresses in this file.

     For example:
     01:23:45	   matches 01:23:45:xx:xx:xx, where xx represents any value;
     01:23:45:6    matches 01:23:45:6x:xx:xx; and
     01:23:45:67   matches 01:23:45:67:xx:xx.

     Do not include entries from the IEEE OUI listings, as these are already  in
     the  file	ieee-oui.txt, which is automatically used by arp-scan.	See get-
     oui(1) for details of how to update the OUI listings.

     The order of entries in the file is not important.

     Blank lines and lines beginning with "#" are ignored.   arp-scan  will  at-
     tempt  to	match  larger  prefixes before trying to match smaller ones, and
     will stop at the first match.
