How to assign MAC address to specific network when using multiple networks

I did test it now.

I get the same result, If I use the mac address from your example. Though, if I use a different mac, it indeed works.

I used: 02:42:05:96:eb:99 and it worked right away.

It depends on the mac address whether it works or not:
10:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ ok
11:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ error
12:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ ok
13:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ error
14:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ ok
15:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ error
16:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ ok
17:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ error
18:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ ok
19:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ error
1a:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ ok
1b:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ error
1c:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ ok
1d:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ error
1e:ab:98:82:eb:51 β†’ ok

I have no idea what makes it a valid or invalid mac address…

Update: so apparently you can’t use every random mac address, see: networking - What exactly are the specifications for a valid mac address? - Super User

You can assign any hexadecimal character to every position of a mac address, except the 2nd character in the first block, like the example from above shows.
