>>> Cisco's expression of a MAC address is wrong anyway. Correct notation >>> for a MAC address is separating each byte with a colon.
>> Doesn't matter... It's widespread and Cisco isn't the only one to use it. >Just for my own edification, who else besides Cisco do you know who >uses that notation for MAC addresses? I want some convincing before >I'll accept the claim that it's widespread. Windows displays macs as dash separated hexified bytes (ie, 12-34-56-78-90-AB) which is incorrect. Given how widespread and pervasive the Microsoft Windows Virus is, I'd call this widespread and pervasive.
