Explanation:
Each router keeps a unique MAC address for its interface. This MAC address is always associated
with the unique IP address configured on the interface. For the virtual router address, HSRP
defines a special MAC address of the form 0000.0c07.acxx, where xx represents the HSRP group
number as a two-digit hex value. For example, HSRP Group 1 appears as 0000.0c07.ac01, HSRP
Group 16 appears as 0000.0c07.ac10.
