[afnog] Difference between mac address on interface and mac address in the arp table

[Christian M]

Hello.We are trying to set up an Ethernet over SDH link across multiple ADMs  (from different vendors) linking on one end a cisco 6500 and on another a cisco 4500. We have been successful in getting the MAC address learned across the end points of the link. 
However on the c4500, the mac address learned is the one on the physical interface of the c6500 (the same as the one on show interface) which is different from the one on the arp table. I have put the show command below on the c6500 which is on my end.
GigabitEthernet4/14 is up, line protocol is up (connected)  Hardware is C6k 1000Mb 802.3, address is 0024.9798.3e25 (bia 0024.9798.3e25)

Protocol  Address          Age (min)  Hardware Addr   Type   InterfaceInternet  10.10.10.2              -   0024.97d2.bf00  ARPA   GigabitEthernet4/14Internet  10.10.10.1              0   Incomplete      ARPA
interface GigabitEthernet4/14 ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.252

I need help figuring out why the c4500 on the other end of the EoS link is learning 0024.97d2.bf00 instead of 0024.97d2.bf00 (which is in arp table) in how I can make this work.
Thank you,Christian
