The University assigns itself a prefix to use for locally-administered MAC addresses (Wikipedia: MAC address), which can be used to create unique MAC addresses for various devices. The most common applications are for virtual MAC addresses for systems, or MAC addresses for virtual systems.
The prefix is:
02:82:9f
which is based on "02:", plus the first two octets of the institutional IP address "130.159" converted to hex.
Sub-assignments may be made to organisational units or projects within the University.
