Hi, When using DECnet, the MAC address is changed depending on the DECnet address. You need to use the HSRP use-bia feature with DECnet. HSRP then uses the DECNet MAC address.
From http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/decnet.htm DECnet hosts do not use manufacturer-assigned Media Access Control (MAC)-layer addresses. Instead, network level addresses are embedded in the MAC-layer address according to an algorithm that multiplies the area number by 1024 and adds the node number to the product. The resulting 16-bit decimal address is converted to a hexadecimal number and is appended to the address AA00.0400 in byte-swapped order, with the least-significant byte first. For example, DECnet address 12.75 becomes 12363 (base 10), which equals 304B (base 16). After this byte-swapped address is appended to the standard DECnet MAC address prefix, the address is AA00.0400.4B30. --- "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" wrote: > Greetings all, > > I've a 6509 with 2 sups and MSFCs, running hsrp > between both MSFCs. > Routing 5 vlans, two of those 5 vlan are also > bridging decnet.
