Yes, but you can change it.
For Vms (www.openvms.compaq.com) for example, when Decnet starts (before any
other protocol like Tcpip, Lat, Lavc, Amds or any) it changes the Mac
address from (for example 08-00-2B-.... to AA-00-04-00..., because it has
the Decnet address in it.
A Decnet address of 3.2 means (3*1024)+2= 3074
In hex, this is 0C04, so the Mac address will be (reversed)
aa-00-04-00-04-0C
