A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a 48-bit number typically written in hexadecimal notation (that is, in 12 hexadecimal digits) that provides a unique address for each client device. An OUI (organizationally unique identifier) is the first 24 bits (that is, the first six hexadecimal digits) of a MAC address.

You can view and manage MAC Objects or MAC OUI profiles by adding, modifying, or deleting them. For example, a MAC object or a MAC OUI profile can be used to identify specific devices and the hive to which they belong. While you can manage objects on this page, the best practice recommendation is to configure objects in their respective network policy workflows. For more information, see MAC Objects and MAC OUIs.

The IP Object and Host Name table displays the following information:

Name: The descriptive name of the MAC object or MAC OUI Profile.
MAC Objects/MAC OUIs: The MAC Address or the MAC OUI.
