IEEE Registration Authority
MAC address prefix 2C:16:BD is registered to IEEE Registration Authority in the IEEE OUI registry. Any device whose MAC address begins with 2C:16:BD has a network interface built by IEEE Registration Authority. This prefix (the OUI, or Organizationally Unique Identifier) is assigned by the IEEE and is the first three octets of the address — it covers every MAC from 2C:16:BD:00:00:00 to 2C:16:BD:FF:FF:FF.

FAQ
- Which company owns MAC address prefix 2C:16:BD?
- MAC address prefix 2C:16:BD is registered to IEEE Registration Authority in the IEEE Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) registry. Any device whose MAC address begins with 2C:16:BD has a network interface built by IEEE Registration Authority.
- What is the OUI 2C:16:BD?
- 2C:16:BD is an Organizationally Unique Identifier — the first three octets (24 bits) of a MAC address, assigned by the IEEE to IEEE Registration Authority. It covers every address from 2C:16:BD:00:00:00 to 2C:16:BD:FF:FF:FF, or 16,777,216 addresses in total. It is also written 2C-16-BD.
- How do I find the manufacturer of a MAC address?
- Take the first three octets of the address — in 2C:16:BD:00:00:00 that is 2C:16:BD — and look that prefix up in the IEEE OUI registry. If the second-lowest bit of the first octet is set, the address is locally administered (a randomized or private MAC), which belongs to no manufacturer and will not resolve; modern phones and laptops use these by default on each network.
- Where is IEEE Registration Authority located?
- IEEE Registration Authority is listed at 445 Hoes Lane Piscataway NJ US 08554 in the IEEE OUI registry entry for 2C:16:BD. This is the address the organization registered with the IEEE, which may differ from its current operating address.
