This seems like a bug that should be reported to Microtik.

is FE:... a valid OUI?  if that is consistent and invalid, it could filter
based on that.  

> This way it won't dynamically change and RANCID won't be emailing you about it.  In my opinion, this is much simpler than writing code to systematically ignore the changing MAC addresses, even with 100+ Mikrotik devices.  Kudos for your efforts, though.  Hope this helps.
