Take this setup for typical example:
Internet-----Router----aPPO-------aB-----Client PCs
In newer firmware from 0.01.04 onward, it is multimac with remote
management and it does Mac translation for every packet that is sent out
to the wireless interface. It will put with its own Mac with the IP
address of the PC remains unchanged.
So to the Router, it will see the packet appears to come from the aB and
with different IP addresses. The ARP table will have the following
entry:
Eg. 00301A00EBBA 192.168.0.100
00301A00EBBA 192.168.0.101
Hope this clear.

Subject: [smartBridges] MACs changing with SB kit
Would it be possible for SB to produce a diagram and/or a worked example
or
two that illustrates how the IP/Mac "pair" changes as a packet travels
from
a client's computer out to the Internet and back via a number of SB
units
(ABs and APPOs)?
We are frequently having to swap IP addresses if clients "mess around"
with
different computers into an AB and the arp table somewhere gets confused
(also happens if/when we are testing with our own computer at a customer
site), and I would like to understand much better exactly what happens.
Thanks
