Who owns the MAC starting with A8:97:DC?
The first three blocks of a MAC address form the OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier), a code the IEEE assigns to each manufacturer. The prefix A8:97:DC is registered to IBM. Any device whose MAC starts with A8:97:DC (for example, A8:97:DC:1A:2B:3C) was made by this company.
What it means to see this device on your network
Knowing the manufacturer helps identify what is connected to your Wi-Fi or company network. A IBM MAC you don't recognize could be a legitimate device (a phone, a TV, a camera) — or one that shouldn't be there. IBM has 4 MAC prefixes registered with the IEEE (see others under "Read also").
How to see every device and vendor on your network
