In my network configuration management software I am seeing frequent changes to the "HW MAC Addr" line when the show invetory command is run. I see some strange values here as well, sometimes they are not even valid mac addresses.
-# HW MAC Addr : 00:0b:86:b7:25:cf to 00:0b:86:b7:25:161
+# HW MAC Addr : 00:0b:86:b7:25:cf to 00:0b:86:b7:25:ce
What does the HW MAC Addr line in show inventory represent? Why is it changing?
