How to resolve the brand or model from hardware address ?

0

Hi all, how do i resolve the brand or model from the MAC address i see in the wireshark below ? I understand every Ethernet hardware port has a unique MAC address with the first 3 bytes for manufacturer and the last 3 bytes from the manufacturer.

You don't. Brand/model information is not part of the OUI (Organizational Unique Identifier) is assigned by the IEEE on a per vendor/manufacturer basis, not on a vendor and model basis.

So the MAC address will not help you.
