[c-nsp] mac address question

[Joe Maimon]

Take an old ethernet card, copy its mac address and throw the ethernet 
card out.

Use that mac address.

Realistically, the TELCO is actually asking for what to put in a layer 2 
access list.

You want to be able to connect multiple routers, for example with an ATM 
switch, so tell them a mac address with the last two hex digits masked to FF

That way you can connect a couple hundred routers without involving them 
again.

So long as the mac's arent going to conflict with any of your customers, 
you shouldnt ever have a problem.
