In fairness to the original poster, different manufacturers, and even within
Cisco, different product lines, have different ways of entering/configuring
MAC's.
True, a MAC is 48 bits, and true, there are different ways of representing
them. Most books I have read use the .. format. some sources
might use colons instead of periods.
But in terms of configuration, on a Cisco router the configuration format is
1224.5678.abcd while on a catalyst 5000 switch the format is
12-34-56-78-ab-cd
The guy who posted the original question noted that on 3com garbage
equipment the format is 12:23:56:78:ab:cd
