i've seen this done for testing purposes, when running hardware through a quality check harness which needs such static configuration. what is the IP? (publicly route-able or internal only?) what is the MAC OUI prefix? (valid vendor or some arbitrary unallocated ident?) answering these questions would help identify test vs. backdoor intent... _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
