All fine comments, but I don't think we should spend much time tweaking
the current GUI since there are new interfaces coming down the line
shortly.

The assigned MACs are already saved in the database. I believe the main
purpose of this tool is to take in a list of MACs that were collected
via some outboard means, like polling from the switches or other such
things. It isn't intended to back up the MACs that have already been
dealt with.
