Description Mateusz Piotrowski freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-06-26 09:52:53 UTC 
FreeBSD has a MAC address prefix set aside for its use. Details are available here: https://macaddress.io/statistics/company/17619

I am not sure what would be the best place to document this.

bhyve manpage is missing this information as well that the MAC address has to start with this prefix or bust.

>> FreeBSD has a (undocumented) MAC address prefix
> bhyve manpage
May I?

Except, i think the appropriate place to document freebsd vnet mac address is vnet(9).
