The MAC is supposed to be world-wide unique to each interface. There are a couple of situations where this can accidentally happen, like VMware using the same poorly-chosen random MAC for two VMs that breaks everything on that vSwitch, but that's the only one that I've ever encountered. Having the same MAC on two interfaces is not legal, so you should expect to break something on any router or machine that I can think of. If it works, then that router is broken. > > -- > > John Mellor > _______________________________________________ Many years ago we have a problem with the Cisco gear. Two of their boxes had a identical MAC. The MAC is supposed to be world-wide unique to each interface. :-) BR, Bob _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
