Technically the right most is multicast bit, the 2nd right most is locally
assigned, it doesn't imply randomisation, it is unknowable how it was
assigned.

I think that is a randomized address. Look at the second character in a
MAC address, if it is a 2, 6, A, or E it is a randomized address.  Per

Hello,

I have something I have never seen before and was wondering if anyone in
the community has seen something like this?

So some active directory accounts are getting locked intermittently and I
had to do some sniffing and I have an IP address showing up in a non-used
subnet 10.1.2.x
And it shows an unrecognized MAC address. This virtual machine is in a
Nutanix environment.

I am trying to figure this out without bringing in paid outside help.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
c2:ea:e4:c5:57:e6
is the MAC in question. I don't fully understand this request. 10.1.2.18
is the mystery ip that doesn't ping, 10.1.3.9 is the DC.
AD Audit provides nonexistent machines making the requests and even blank.
