ADVAN — MAC prefix identifies registry assignee only
Summary
- // what this is
- Advan is registered to MAC prefix
5C:15:15in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with5C:15:15, that block was registered by Advan — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Exact
5C:15:15matching uses the first 24 bits; the remaining 24 bits yield 16,777,216 possible suffix values, not an observed device count. In this prefix's first octet (5C), the Group and Local bits are both zero. Changing either bit changes the prefix and does not match this exact assignment. A match identifies the registry assignment only.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning 5C:15:15 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to ADVAN; the supplied evidence does not identify a device category or product using this prefix.
The assignment covers the first 24 bits of a 48-bit MAC address, leaving 24 suffix bits, or 16,777,216 possible suffix values. That is a count of possible values, not a count of devices, shipments, or observed addresses. A matching address establishes the registry assignment, not a device’s maker, current operator, or security status.
For 5C:15:15, the first octet is 5C (binary 01011100). Its Group bit (01) and Local bit (02) are both zero. This exact prefix therefore has fixed individual and globally administered bit values. Setting either bit changes the prefix and no longer produces an exact match to this assignment. RFC 7042 describes the significance of these MAC address bits and the structure of 48-bit identifiers.
