<br></div><div>Is there a "555" style best practice for MAC addresses? I'm mucking around with programming electronics and writing Ethernet bits and pieces and while it's commonplace for me to hardcode 192.168.0/24 addresses to projects, I also need to code MAC addresses. Is there an OUI equivalent of 172.16/192.168/10.? or does nobody care because it's not relevant outside a layer 2 domain...</div>
