Thanks in advance

In very simple terms, Magic MAC is how clusters who are connected to the same network identify they are part of a given cluster.

The Magic MAC also determines the MAC address that the appliance will use for their CCP packets as well.

All members of the cluster will have the same Magic MAC.
