My understanding is that HSRP creates a "Phantom"
router with a Phantom IP address and a Phantom MAC
address (Internetworking Handbook). I'm ok with the IP
address, that is software. My confusion comes from it
being able to make up a MAC address arbitrarily
without stepping on any existing IEEE issued toes.

Thanks
