If you think about this for a minute, you may come to understand why I don't consider assigning random MAC addresses a good idea in the first place. Regards Ansgar Wiechers
Hi, If you practically look at the chance of two nodes having same MAC address, it would be very rare considering that most networks at data link layer would have less machines connected. And if a network has lot of machines on same broadcast network, it would be considered bad network design. In that rare event, if you have same MAC address as that of someone else on the network, you would know it in few minutes as the connectivity would keep on losing as the MAC address table entries at the switch/router get overwritten. Then again you can change MAC address to some random value!
