The switch will only see the port number change for the source mac-address. This wil usually result in very bad "connectivity", and it can result in STP-reconfigure messages send to the backbone switch. (If bpdu and other stp packets are forwarded as-is :-) ). So: check you configuration if you are actually doing mac-address masquerading, you *really* need it! If you wonder why it does work on cheap linux routers with built-in switches: those switches almost have IVL. -- begin LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.txt.vbs I am a signature virus.
