3. An implementation that has only PPP links might have no previously
configured Media Access Control (MAC) that can function as an
IS-IS System ID. In this case, the System ID is formed by adding
a randomly generated 14-bit leading number (in place of an OUI) to
the link's unique LCP Magic Number. The Magic Number MUST be
unique for all links and all known link peers. This pseudo-MAC
MUST have both the "locally-assigned" and "broadcast/multicast"
(group) bits set to 1; that is, the least significant two bits of
the most significant octet are both set to 1.
...
Operational Considerations
Although the probability of conflict with another IS-IS System ID
is minuscule, each implementation MUST have a configuration option
to override the System ID.
