The BIG-IP Administrator wants to provide quick failover between the F5 LTM devices that are configured as an HA pair with a single Self IP using the MAC Masquerade feature. The administrator configures MAC masquerade for traffic-group-1 using the following command:
`tmsh modify /cm traffic-group traffic-group-1 mac 02:12:34:56:00:00`
However, the Network Operations team identifies an issue with using the same MAC address across multiple VLANs. As a result, the administrator enables Per-VLAN MAC Masquerade to ensure a unique MAC address per VLAN by running:
`tmsh modify /sys db tm.macmasqaddr_per_vlan value true`
What would be the resulting MAC address on a tagged VLAN with ID 1501? (Choose one answer)
- A. 02:12:34:56:15:01
- B. 02:12:34:56:01:15
- C. 02:12:34:56:05:dd
- D. 02:12:34:56:dd:05
