A2xx.yyzz.zzzz
Where xx.yy is a user-defined prefix, and zz.zzzz is an internal counter generated by the adaptive security
appliance. For the standby MAC address, the address is identical except that the internal counter is
increased by 1.
For an example of how the prefix is used, if you set a prefix of 77, then the adaptive security appliance
converts 77 into the hexadecimal value 004D (yyxx). When used in the MAC address, the prefix is
reversed (xxyy) to match the adaptive security appliance native form:
A24D.00zz.zzzz
For a prefix of 1009 (03F1), the MAC address is:
A2F1.03zz.zzzz
