2Wire Inc MAC Addresses
This page provides information about MAC addresses and OUIs assigned to 2Wire Inc. The Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) is the first 24 bits of a MAC address and is assigned by the IEEE to uniquely identify a vendor or manufacturer.
About 2Wire Inc MAC Addresses
MAC addresses beginning with 74:9D:DC: are manufactured by 2Wire Inc. When you see a device on your network with this OUI prefix, it indicates that the device was manufactured by 2Wire Inc.
The IEEE assigns OUI prefixes to manufacturers to ensure uniqueness in the global networking ecosystem. 2Wire Inc has been assigned the OUI prefix 749DDC (among others) for use in their network devices.
Common 2Wire Inc Devices
Devices manufactured by 2Wire Inc that you might encounter on networks include:
- Network interface cards (NICs)
- Routers and switches
- Wireless access points
- IoT devices
- Embedded systems
- And other networking equipment
Identifying 2Wire Inc Devices on Your Network
To identify 2Wire Inc devices on your network:
- Use network scanning tools to list devices on your network
- Look for MAC addresses starting with any of the OUI prefixes listed in the sidebar
- Use our MAC address lookup tool to confirm the manufacturer
This can be particularly helpful for network inventory, troubleshooting, and security auditing.
MAC Address Format
A complete MAC address consists of 48 bits (6 bytes) and is typically represented in hexadecimal format with each byte separated by a colon or a hyphen. For 2Wire Inc devices, the MAC address would look like:
74:9D:DC:XX:XX:XX
The first three bytes (74:9D:DC) identify the manufacturer as 2Wire Inc, while the last three bytes are unique to each device.
