Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (CCNP SWITCH, legacy) — Question 35

In the hardware address 0000.0c07.ac0a, what does 07.ac represent?

Answer options

• A. vendor code
• B. HSRP group number
• C. HSRP router number
• D. HSRP well-known physical MAC address
• E. HSRP well-known virtual MAC address

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The segment 07.ac in the hardware address 0000.0c07.ac0a indicates the HSRP well-known virtual MAC address, which is used in Hot Standby Router Protocol for redundancy. The other options do not correctly describe this specific portion of the hardware address, as they refer to different concepts or identifiers unrelated to HSRP's virtual MAC address.
