I'm in a corporate environment with a DHCP server with static assignments for my server. I have one physical nic with several sub-interfaces. I statically assign different MAC addresses for each sub-interface to get another IP address from the DHCP server. For some reason, my server is not taking the static MAC addresses. You'll notice that ifconfig shows each interface with the same MAC.
How do I assign unique MAC addresses to my sub-interfaces?

You can install macchanger 
Then execute like following,
sudo macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 <interface_name>

Multimac can do this. (http://www.primianotucci.com/os/multimac)
Alternatively you can use "ip link" to add veth interfaces.
In both methods you must then bridge veth0 to eth0 using brctl (bridge-utils).
Each interface (tapX for multimac or vethX for veth) can then have custom mac addresses
(ifconfig hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, interface should be down.)
