Actually, 00:11:22:33:44:55 is a perfectly legal (universally
administered) MAC address:

Just enter 00-11-22 for the OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier).

In any case, 00-11-22-33-44-55 is an often used as a
_locally administered_ MAC address.  Such usage is definitely
illegal as can be seen by referring to:

No doubt this is what you were referring to when you said
"00:11:22:33:44:55 is not a legal MAC address".  A better,
easy to remember locally administered MAC address would be
02:03:04:05:06:07.
