Installation and Image Management

.. note:: This is most likely only relevant for virtual installations:

When installing VyOS ensure that the MAC address selected for your NICs is
not a locally administered MAC address. Locally administered addresses are
distinguished from universally administered addresses by setting (assigning
the value of 1 to) the second-least-significant bit of the first octet of
the address:

Example: ``02:00:00:00:00:01``, where the second-least-significant bit
(``02`` in hex) is set to ``1``.
