I'm trying to make a list of all MAC addresses that are reserved, do not exist, should not be used, should only be used locally etc. (Just like the list of reserved IP-addresses on Wikipedia, but for MAC.) Basically I want to loop over all MAC-addresses from a switch and filter out the "real" ones.

This page suggests all addresses starting with 00-00-5E or 01-00-5E are reserved, but when I look them up it seems like 00-00-5E is also assigned to the Information Sciences Institute (part of a university in California).

So 2 questions:

1) Is there any place I can find a list of reserved MAC-adresses?

2) What's up with 00-00-5E? Is only part of that range reserved, or is there some reason they assigned it to ISI?
