Mac addresses

I am seeing "sequential" MAC addresses on my network in the form of:

02-00-00-00-00-01
02-00-00-00-00-02
02-00-00-00-00-03
02-00-00-00-00-04
02-00-00-00-00-05
02-00-00-00-00-06
02-00-00-00-00-07
02-00-00-00-00-08
02-00-00-00-00-09
02-00-00-00-00-10
02-00-00-00-00-11
02-00-00-00-00-12
02-00-00-00-00-13
02-00-00-00-00-14
02-00-00-00-00-15
02-00-00-00-00-16
02-00-00-00-00-17
02-00-00-00-00-18
02-00-00-00-00-19
02-00-00-00-00-20

These are only a few ... I have about 100 of them.  They only exist in
my "BlachHole" VLAN -- no connectivity to anything else, no routers no
nothing.

I can't find any documentation on what these MAC addresses are.  I am
guessing that they are some sort of LLDP MAC address, but it seems
weird that I don't get any search engine hits about them.

This is not one machine spewing out multiple bogus addresses, but many
machines .... one to one?  Not sure.

Ideas?
