Looks like the printer might be sending out broke frames. One of those "MAC" 
addresses has text in it:

68 70 2d 50 43 4c  = hp-PCL

We've got a few A2s, but mostly 7H4284-49 DFE Platinum blades.

We have maclock first-arrival set to zero.  Each host is added as a static MAC 
entry for the port it is on.  We did this by first learning the MAC addresses, 
then moving all dynamic entries to static entries.  Then, we set the 
first-arrival on all ports to zero.

The switches are performing exactly as expected.

I am just curious if anyone else has seen these wild MAC addresses from HP 
printers and would like to confirm if it is the other network protocols that 
are active on the printer that causes it.  In the meantime, we will see if our 
admins can shut down all unnecessary protocols on all printers.

The goal here is to eliminate the false MAC Lock Violations.

Hi,

what switch type do you use ?
On our N3 and A2 nothing like this, but our configurationis is only maclock 
first arrival....

[enterasys] MAC Locking, strange MAC addresses from HP jetdirect







Classification: NATO UNCLASSIFIED - RELEASABLE FOR INTERNET TRANSMISSION

Hello,

We just engaged MAC locking across our whole network.  We have seen a few 
strange MAC Lock violations from ports with HP Jetdirect printers connected to 
them.

Here are the strange MAC addresses we got as violations:

2C 00 1B 78 EC 0B

68 70 2D 50 43 4C

These addresses no not decode to any known manufacturer and are not the MAC 
addresses of the jetdirect cards.

I think they are generated on IPX/SPX, or perhaps AppleTalk, which IS enabled 
unnecessarily on these printers.

Has anyone else seen HP printers throw wierd MAC addresses like this?
