MAC Vendor identification

What problem do you need to solve here.

What is the difference between information about Vendor or OS in a case you would make IP as a manage node in IPAM vs. lookup into MAC vendor database on coffer.com?

thanks

For me this is something to keep me from using an external site to see what vendor this mac came from.  This helps in identifying devices and all.  This would be a nice to have time saver.

for my situation it would help our Support Center.  For instance:

Our printers are statically assigned.  We have a problem with  Lantronix boxes loosing their config when there is a power outage or when someone looks at it incorrectly.....and then it pulls a dhcp addy.   If they could easily sort the list using the vendor then they could find the one that is in the DHCP scope.

There are other advantages but that is just one.   I know they could sort using 00:80:A3 but for some, remembering those numbers off the top of there heads while on a call is a little much.
