I have seen Belkin routers do that while booting, are you sure the rogue MAC addresses don’t time age of the radio bridging table or go away if you reboot the radio?

Other than the MACs showing up in the wrong place, it works fine, Id never seen that before on a functioning device. Is there some magic new protocol out there that would need a MAC to show up there? I would assume the router WAN can see it to, and Id guess that would cause a little confusion for the device, but its not. Its quite possible that Belkin has resorted to sorcery.

Likewise, when Apple routers see a private IP on the WAN interface, will by default go into bridging mode. Most other routers that I know of just do routing. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 2/16/2015 1:39 PM, That One Guy wrote: Is there any good reason this customer router would be bridging the internal device MACs? Theyre showing up on the bridging table in the canopy radio, but as best I can tell theyre getting their DHCP address from the router and not actually causing a problem. Is this some sort of witchcraft on Belkins part? -- All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer. -- IBM maintenance manual, 1925 -- All parts should go together without forcing.
