Hello,
Instead of using Proxmox’s default prefix of BC:24:11, I would like to use a MAC address pool provided by IEEE.
In my environment, a full 24-bit OUI provides too large of a range and is expensive, so I prefer to purchase a 36-bit MA-S assignment.
(see https://standards.ieee.org/products-programs/regauth/oui36/)
However, it seems that the current version of Proxmox only supports 24-bit OUI as a custom prefix.
It would be incredibly helpful if Proxmox could support custom prefixes longer than 25 bits.
I believe this feature would also be useful in cases where users already own an OUI and want to utilize only a portion of it in Proxmox.

I would appreciate it if you could consider implementing this feature.


Thank you
