After enabling DECnet routing, the interface MAC address turns to 
something like this:

GigabitEthernet0/2 is up, line protocol is up
  Hardware is BCM1250 Internal MAC, address is aa00.0400.0a04 (bia 
000b.bffd.fc1a)

And you'll find

AA-00-04   (hex)                DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION

in the list. I don't know what 02-07-01 is, but I guess that could be 
something similar: The OUI belongs to a company, but they don't use the 
addresses to burn them into interface cards.
