[nsp] 7206vxr assigns 0000.0000.0000 to IO-FE-TX
7206VXR with IO-FE-TX & 1 PA-H card and 2 extra FE cards.

The machine is running 12.1.16.

On bootup, the machine assigns a random MAC address of 0000.0000.0000
to the FA0/0 interface. This seems wrong (besides causing problems in
pinging some other devices). Any help is appreciated. The output is
shown below.

Thanks

This is a bit long shot, but you could try to specify the MAC address by
hand with 'mac-address' command under the interface.

MAC addresses on the 7200 series are stored on the chassis rather than the
cards - so it sounds like unless you've done something else to force all
the cards to have MAC addresses of all-zeros then you have a broken chassis.

This happened to us once on a 7507. After we hot swapped a VIP, the FastE
modules on it both showed 0000.0000.0000. We power cycled the router and
it came back up fine. (This is part of why we no longer hot swap.)
