70:BD:D2 MAC Prefix — Adva Network Security GmbH Assignment
Summary
- // what this is
- Adva Network Security is registered to MAC prefix
70:BD:D2in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with70:BD:D2, that block was registered by Adva Network Security — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 70:BD:D2 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment registered to Adva Network Security GmbH. That identifies the registry assignment; it does not establish a particular device, product, deployment, or current operator. The supplied company history describes network security products, but does not map any product to this prefix.
This is a 24-bit prefix in a 48-bit address, leaving 24 suffix bits and 16,777,216 possible suffix values. That arithmetic describes possible values, not a device or shipment count. In the first prefix byte 70 (hexadecimal), the Group and Local bits are both zero. An exact match fixes both bits; changing either produces a different prefix. RFC 7042 explains the significance of these bits and the structure of MAC prefixes.
The company’s history says it was established as an independent company in 2022 and describes its operation as a wholly owned subsidiary under a zero-trust model. It also documents a 10 Gbit/s network access device with Ethernet encryption and 400 Gbit/s crypto-agile encryption capability. These are company-level product details, not evidence that those products use this assignment.
