Mac-address of Primary selfip was retain when failed over to Secondary

Hi ALl,

 

We have the following diagram:

 

F51 is connected to N7k1 F52 is connected to N7k2

 

NK71 and N7K2 is running on HSRP

 

When F51 is active, primary selfip and floating selfip have same mac-address. When F52 is active, secondary selfip have unique mac-address but mac-address of floating ip is still the same as primary mac-address

 

is this normal? F52 when using the HSRP floating IP is unable to ping internet.
