The radio MAC address equals the MAP base
MAC address.

All radio MAC addresses are dynamically
allocated by the WX switch after the MAP
boots. MSS allocates a unique block of eight
consecutive addresses to each radio. Each SSID
configured on the radio uses one of the
addresses as its BSSID.

MAC allocations are not persistent across a
restart of the MAP, and a MAP might be
allocated a different set of addresses following a
restart.
