Yes, but look what he pasted as the output:
GigabitEthernet7/1 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
Hardware is C6k 1000Mb 802.3, address is 0021.5693.b800
Internet address is 212.74.70.7/31
GigabitEthernet7/13 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
Hardware is C6k 1000Mb 802.3, address is 0021.5693.b800
Internet address is 212.74.70.205/31
i.e. they're in layer3 routed mode, and thus they inherit the MAC
address of the MSFC (as the MSFC might have to receive packets, and the
MSFC has a limited-size MAC filter)
If you set them back to be "switchport" they'll go back to having a
per-port MAC address; I've just done this on our test chassis:
core-spare#sh int g9/10 | inc address
Hardware is C6k 1000Mb 802.3, address is 0015.2cbf.1000 (bia
0015.2cbf.1000)
core-spare#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
core-spare(config)#int g9/10
core-spare(config-if)#sw
core-spare(config-if)#switchport
core-spare(config-if)#^Z
core-spare#sh int g9/10 | inc address
Hardware is C6k 1000Mb 802.3, address is 0021.55d7.558d (bia
0021.55d7.558d)
