MAC address vendor

ADD-Engineering BV MAC prefix: device identification Unknown

Primary prefix
28:F5:32
Block
MA-L

Summary

// what this is
ADD-Engineering is registered to MAC prefix 28:F5:32 in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with 28:F5:32, that block was registered by ADD-Engineering — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
// analyst note
This assignment identifies a registry prefix only. A match does not identify a particular device, operating system, vendor deployment, or security state; the 16,777,216 suffix possibilities are not an observed device count.

A MAC address beginning 28:F5:32 identifies an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to ADD-Engineering BV; the supplied records do not establish a device category or product for this prefix. The assignment is evidence of registry attribution, not a particular device, deployment, traffic pattern, or safety status.

28:F5:32 is a 24-bit prefix, leaving 24 bits for suffix values: 16,777,216 possible values. That is a mathematical address-space count, not a count of devices or shipments. For this exact prefix, the first octet 28 has Group bit 0 and Local bit 0. Those bits are fixed by the literal prefix; changing either produces a different prefix. (RFC 7042)

Device identification
Unknown; no device category is tied to this exact prefix in the supplied evidence [Unknown]
Prefix length
24 bits, with a 24-bit matching boundary [Confirmed]
Suffix space
16,777,216 possible values; this is not a device or shipment count [Confirmed]
Group and Local bits
Both are 0 in first octet 28; either bit changing creates a different prefix [Confirmed]
