We have done this, and it is working just fine. What OS, FW-1 version, etc,
are you running, and what type of Cluster? Pure HA, load balancing... one
of the multicast modes or legacy mode? This makes a difference in how you
need to set up the switches, etc.

| Subject: [FW-1] virtual mac address
|
>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Has anyone changed the virtual mac address of a cluster, and if so, have
they seen any issues ?
bit of background;
for reasons of hardware constraints, I have two clusters patched to the
same vlan, and as the virtual mac appears as 00:00:00:00:FE:00/01 for my
two cluster members. However, this is the same for both clusters and it
causes the cisco switches to spot the same mac on different ports and
complain, and possibly misdirect traffic, so I'd like to fix it.
I'm going to change the fwha_mac_magic parameter to 00xfc on one cluster
pair, but was curious if anyone else had done so.
thanks,
ian
