Question on MAC address manipulation in the lab

What is your opinion on changing Mac addresses on LAN interfaces in the lab,
for example setting the MAC of all interfaces on router1 to 1.1.1
router 2 to 2.2.2 et'c

This looks very promising for saving major time on IPX.

Even more important - since we have no hosts in the lab (I think) and use
only routers, why not
assign MAC addresses with only 'magic numbers' to all interfaces related to
translational bridging, if the MAC is made of only double 00,66,99,FF for
example then everything turns into a real no brainer, using MAC
6666.0000.6666 for example makes easy time of translational bridging.

Anyone can think of any problems with this ?

Omer.
