The CEF adjacency table essentially contains the ethernet header to be used for sending frames out that interface. So in this case, the following applies:

Source address = 00605C865B82

Destination address = 000164F83FA5 (the first 12 characters of 000164F83FA50800)

EtherType = 0800 (which is the EtherType for IP traffic).

Pls do remember to rate posts that help.
