RE: EUI -64 to MAC

The 7th (second to least significant) bit in the most significant
(left-most) byte.

The 8th bit (least-significant, right-most) bit in here is that I/G one that
tells us individual (unicast) or group (multicast/broadcast)... The one
just left of that (7th bit) tells us U/L information or Universal (burned in
address) or Local (changed locally) assignment. That makes the first byte
02 instead of 00.

0000 0010 in binary in case you care! :)

hey guys, am trying to understand a scenerio, and would appreciate a better
explanation. task:--------------Conf. IPv6 addre.
2001:192:10:1:1234:56ff:fe:78:9abc on r1 fa0/0. The host portion be gotten
from eui-64.solution:---------------r1#int fa0/0mac-addre
1034.5678.9abcipv6 add 2001:192:10:1::/64 eui-64 their explanation was :
Invert the 7most significant bit, then remove ff:fe, this equals
1034.5678.9abc. Understandable, but the issue i have is: :when they say
invert the 7most significant bit, do this mean the 7 most significant bit in
the first octect?? regards, Uyota
