FAQ
- Which company owns MAC address prefix 4C:74:BF?
- MAC address prefix 4C:74:BF is registered to Apple, Inc. in the IEEE Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) registry. Any device whose MAC address begins with 4C:74:BF has a network interface built by Apple, Inc..
- What is the OUI 4C:74:BF?
- 4C:74:BF is an Organizationally Unique Identifier — the first three octets (24 bits) of a MAC address, assigned by the IEEE to Apple, Inc.. It covers every address from 4C:74:BF:00:00:00 to 4C:74:BF:FF:FF:FF, or 16,777,216 addresses in total. It is also written 4C-74-BF.
- How do I find the manufacturer of a MAC address?
- Take the first three octets of the address — in 4C:74:BF:00:00:00 that is 4C:74:BF — 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 Apple, Inc. located?
- Apple, Inc. is listed at 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino CA US 95014 in the IEEE OUI registry entry for 4C:74:BF. This is the address the organization registered with the IEEE, which may differ from its current operating address.
- How many MAC prefixes does Apple, Inc. own?
- Apple, Inc. holds 1553 OUI prefixes in the IEEE registry, of which 4C:74:BF is one. A device made by Apple, Inc. could carry a MAC address from any of them.
