They are not really used. An Ethernet switch (a bridge) doesn't have a
mac address per se, or only one for its administrative interface over a
virtual IP interface. Some bridge implementation use either a randomly
generated one or the one of the first added interface.
It means we need a layer 2 router implementation (an Ethernet switch)
below everything else with virtual Ethernet interface support if we want
more than just a bridge.
