+.. 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``.
