Hi folx,
a hardware address of 00:00:5e:00:01:55 is "translated" into:
Ethernet II, Src: IETF-VRRP-virtual-router-VRID_55
^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^
That's 3 times "Virtual Router"!
from: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3768.html :
7.3. Virtual Router MAC Address
The virtual router MAC address associated with a virtual router is an
IEEE 802 MAC Address in the following format:
00-00-5E-00-01-{VRID} (in hex in internet standard bit-order)
The first three octets are derived from the IANA's OUI. The next two
octets (00-01) indicate the address block assigned to the VRRP
protocol. {VRID} is the VRRP Virtual Router Identifier. This
mapping provides for up to 255 VRRP routers on a network.
So the complete 00-00-5E-00-01 is assigned to VRRP and
there's no other VRRP in wireshark-1.2.9/manuf .
Therefore it should be save to shorten the description into
VRRP_VRID or even only VRID .
