It looks like you have two equally valid source addresses for it to use (.29 and .24), and the system is just arbitrarily choosing one of them. Can you describe why that's a problem? It looks like the system is doing exactly what it was asked to do. Did you mean to set "deprecated" on e10000g2361000, perhaps? -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
