BTW - You can also restore the original factory MAC from either the GUI
or the CLI.

You can also accidentally cause this between two hardware-identical

myself in the foot a few years ago before I knew what was going on.

Freaking hell, I just spent 30 minutes trying to unravel a router

Ended up that both of my CCR Mikrotik routers had THE SAME MAC
ADDRESSES between them!
They are identical. Every port had a consecutive MAC number, but they
were the same numbers for both the SFP and GigE ports across the two
routers.
I'm guessing they flashed them both at the manufacturer the exact
same, then didn't make it through a MAC renumbering.
Or is this common with Mikrotik now days?
I'm sure I've encountered it before, but like once every five years.
Just a FYI for all y'all who use Mikrotiks.
Watch your backs (I mean MACs)!
