Reiner, Referring to: "(...) Universally administered and locally administered addresses are distinguished by setting the second-least-significant bit of the first octet of the address. This bit is also referred to as the U/L bit, short for Universal/Local, which identifies how the address is administered. If the bit is 0, the address is universally administered. If it is 1, the address is locally administered. In the example address 06-00-00-00-00-00 the first octet is 06 (hex), the binary form of which is 00000110, where the second-least-significant bit is 1. Therefore, it is a locally administered address. Consequently, this bit is 0 in all OUIs. (...)" Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address#Universal_vs._local and my earlier remarks about functional MAC addresses, it could also matter which address you are using as your locally administered address. Jk.
