Our p4200 is sending out ethernet packets using protocol 7030.
Both the source & destination fields appear to have the first
three octets of the p4200's hardware address plus three zero
octets.

For example, an arp shows:
	pro (192.31.154.9) at 2:7:1:1:b9:f2 temporary

and the packets we are seeing look like:

   dst            src         proto	
2:7:1:0:0:0    2:7:1:0:0:0    7030   

With the first part of the data looking like:
	0001 0203 0405 0607 0809 0a0b 0c0d 0e0f
	1011 1213 1415 1617 1819 1a1b 1c1d 1e1f

Total data length of 60 bytes.

Frequency of these packets: every 4 seconds

Now, if I didn't know better, I would say that the p4200 is learning
to count.  

I would appreciate any information about what is happening.

Thanks in advance,
