can you please help me to know what is the 1a after point mean in the following MAC address? Also why it starts from 01 and after that MAC address starts.
Many thanks!
0174.b2ba.c585.1a

That is not a hardware address, but rather a client identifier.
Many DHCP clients will use a client identifier to require an IP address.
Most client software construct this by prepending “01” to the hardware address.
In your example, the 0174.b2ba.c585.1a is 01 and the hardware address 74b2.bac5.851a.
