                EUI

Represents an IEEE EUI (Extended Unique Identifier) indentifier.

Input parser is flexible, supporting EUI-48 (including the many Media Access Control variants) and EUI-64.

Method Details | [hide private]

### __init__(self, addr, addr_type=0) (Constructor) | source code
Constructor. Parameters: `addr` - an EUI-48 (MAC) or EUI-64 address in string format or as an unsigned integer. `addr_type` - (optional) the specific EUI address type (`AT_LINK` or `AT_EUI64`). This argument is used mainly to differentiate EUI48 and EUI48 identifiers that may be numerically equivalent. Overrides: object.__init__

### oui(self, fmt=<class 'netaddr.eui.OUI'>) | source code
Parameters: `fmt` - callable used on return values. Default: OUI object. Also Supports str(), unicode(), int() and long(). Returns: The OUI (Organisationally Unique Identifier) for this EUI.

### ei(self) | source code
Returns: The EI (Extension Identifier) for this EUI

### isiab(self) | source code
Returns: True if this EUI is an IAB address, False otherwise

### iab(self, fmt=<class 'netaddr.eui.IAB'>) | source code
Parameters: `fmt` - callable used on return values. Default: IAB object. Also Supports str(), unicode(), int() and long(). Returns: If isiab() is True, the IAB (Individual Address Block) is returned, None otherwise.

### eui64(self) | source code
Returns: The value of this EUI object as a new 64-bit EUI object. If this object represents an EUI-48 it is converted to EUI-64 as per the standard. If this object is already and EUI-64, it just returns a new, numerically equivalent object is returned instead.

### ipv6_link_local(self) | source code
Returns: new link local IPv6 IP object based on this EUI using technique described in RFC 4291. Please Note: this technique poses security risks in certain scenarios. Please read RFC 4941 for details. Reference: RFCs 4291 and 4941.

### info(self) | source code
Returns: A record dict containing IEEE registration details for this EUI (MAC-48) if available, None otherwise.
