[9.191] MAC Addresses are malformed in logs

Hi,

This is not a new bug, but imho it should be fixed, and it would be a very small fix:

Leading zeroes and repeating zeroes in MAC addresses in the firewall and IPS logs are removed, making searching & reading the logs confusing and difficult.

example:
MAC 00:0c:29:0e:1e:b9
is logged as
0:c:29:e:1e:b9

please see Mantis ID #15361
and https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/53/t/34183
for more examples / info

Thank you & Merry Christmas!

+1, yes this would be a good fix. MAC-addresses are not IPv6 and so leading-zero compression is very unusual.

Managing several Sophos UTMs and Sophos XGs both at work and at some home locations, dedicated to continuously improve IT-security and feeling well helping others with their IT-security challenges.

Sometimes I post some useful tips on my blog, see blog.pijnappels.eu/category/sophos/ for Sophos related posts.
