We have yet another case (which at least for Lenny for the past 2+ yrs): Lenny: n1672:~# ipmitool lan print 1 Set in Progress : Set Complete Auth Type Support : NONE MD2 MD5 PASSWORD Auth Type Enable : Callback : MD2 MD5 PASSWORD : User : MD2 MD5 PASSWORD : Operator : MD2 MD5 PASSWORD : Admin : MD5 PASSWORD : OEM : MD2 MD5 PASSWORD IP Address Source : Static Address IP Address : 172.27.16.72 Subnet Mask : 255.240.0.0 MAC Address : 00:30:48:9a:5a:18 SNMP Community String : public IP Header : TTL=0x40 Flags=0x40 Precedence=0x00 TOS=0x10 BMC ARP Control : ARP Responses Enabled, Gratuitous ARP Disabled Gratituous ARP Intrvl : 2.0 seconds Default Gateway IP : 0.0.0.0 Default Gateway MAC : 00:00:00:00:00:00 Backup Gateway IP : 0.0.0.0 Backup Gateway MAC : 00:00:00:00:00:00 802.1q VLAN ID : Disabled 802.1q VLAN Priority : 0 RMCP+ Cipher Suites : 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 Cipher Suite Priv Max : Xaaaaaaaaaaaaaa : X=Cipher Suite Unused : c=CALLBACK : u=USER : o=OPERATOR : a=ADMIN : O=OEM n1672:~# ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo 2: tunl0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN link/ipip 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 3: gre0: <NOARP> mtu 1476 qdisc noop state DOWN link/gre 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 4: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 100 link/ether 00:30:48:9a:5a:18 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 172.26.16.72/12 brd 172.31.255.255 scope global eth0 5: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:30:48:9a:5a:19 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.10.16.72/8 brd 10.255.255.255 scope global eth1 Thus same MAC, but different IPs (and yes, that's working....)
