Dear Buddies,
Have a question about switches if anybody can put some light on it,
Can a switch advertise more than one mac address, for ip communication. In our network we observed the following.
Pinging and checking the arp table resulted in different mac addresses from different segments. The same ip address was ping from two different segment and on checking the arp table we found that the mac address related to the ip is different to both segments.
The inference I took out from the same is that whether two different interfaces on one pc/router/or networking component could share the same ip address.
Please correct me if I am missing some thing.
Thanks in advance.
