Cannot add host with interface mac address in e3:xx:xx:xx

Description
in 1.21.3
When I try to add or modify a host with a network interface in e3:xx:xx
I received message : "Some of the interfaces are invalid. Please check the table below."
In the interface, I see this message : "must be a unicast MAC address"
It's a Dell PowerEdge Mac Address
- Triaged changed from No to Yes
Well technically speaking it is a multicast MAC address: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address#Ethernet
However I agree that this should probably be just a UI warning and not hardcoded in the database checks.
WORKAROUND: Edit lib/net/validations.rb method multicast_mac? and always return false in there until we implement a React component that will do warning properly so we can drop the check.
BTW how did you get such an MAC address? Is Dell shipping you these, or someone from the team changed it in BIOS?
