avoid conflict with MAC addresses that are generated by the VMware Workstation and
VMware GSX Server products. Thus the maximum value for a manually generated
MAC address is
ethernet0.address = 00:50:56:3F:FF:FF
VMware ESX Server virtual machines do not support arbitrary MAC addresses, hence
the above format must be used. So long as you choose XX:YY:ZZ so it is unique
among your hard-coded addresses, conflicts between the automatically assigned
MAC addresses and the manually assigned ones should never occur.
