Hello,
I'm working on a little security project in which multiple unicast MACs are required
on single ethernet interface. It looks like linux do not provide such mechanism for
handling more than one unicast mac address (at least I'm not aware of it).
Question is it still possible to use SIOCADDMULTI as a workaround?
I'm not sure why (maybe this is not longer supported) I couldn't made linux
to receive ethernet frames sent to unicast MAC address added to multicast filter,
ioctl returned without error, system was configured (i.e. output from "ip m"
confirmed that MAC was added as a "static"), but for some reasons I couldn't
ping this host from remote machine with static arp entry.
The same experiment but with mcast MAC succeed.
I wonder if anybody could explain if this workaround is still valid.
Regards,
