Understood, but why would this system be trying to make a connection there? I has no reason to be connecting and we 
just noticed it which raised a few questions.

Guys,

I did a snoop from our tech sandbox (xxxxxx) to port 389 using
the following command: 'snoop -v port 389' (without the quotes).
The attached file shows a segment of the results. Notice the line:

     ETHER:  Destination = 0:0:5e:0:1:1, U.S. Department of Defense
(IANA)

Why should a connection be made to US Dept. of Defense? Any Ideas?


Hi Craig,

Ethernet OUI's are maintained by the IEEE, rather than IANA :
