| 6.3.2 |  | The virtual router MAC address |

The MAC address used by the virtual router is made up of the following three components:

- Vendor ID – Comprised of the first three bytes of the MAC address.
- HSRP code – Two bytes (always 07.ac) indicating that the MAC address is for an HSRP virtual router.
- Group ID – The last byte of the MAC address is the group ID number.

To display the virtual IP and MAC address use the command show standby in privileged EXEC mode.
