There are two ways by which you can get a stable reserved IID. One by
reserving an IID block using an IANA registry and the other by getting a
stable MAC48 that can be used to create an IID. The only danger with
getting a stable MAC48 is that if you happen to have 2 MAGs in the same
broadcast domain, it will lead to issues.

Thanks
