Thanks - that's what threw me off as I'm used to Cisco where you would see the MAC.... ends up my problem isn't actually related to the MAC, rather it's my IRB configuration for some reason...
Sorry to change the topic, but does anyone know what's wrong with this configuration? I cannot ping any remote hosts but can see ARP entries: ge-5/0/2 { unit 0 { family bridge { interface-mode trunk; vlan-id-list 61; } } } irb { unit 61 { family inet { address xxx.xx.xxx.34/24; } family inet6 { address xxxx:xxx:xxx::34/64; } } } bridge-domains { vlan-61 { domain-type bridge; vlan-id 61; routing-interface irb.61; } } p...@core1.toronto1> show arp | match 5/0/2.0 00:10:7b:6e:64:2a xxx.xx.xxx.4 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ge-5/0/2.0 none 00:e0:1e:ee:ce:a2 xxx.xx.xxx.5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ge-5/0/2.0 none <snipped> Thanks in advance, Paul -----Original Message----- From: Ben Dale [mailto:bd...@comlinx.com.au] Sent: May-18-10 9:22 PM To: Paul Stewart Cc: juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: Re: [j-nsp] IRB MAC Address Question Hi Paul > I'm trying to figure out what MAC address an IRB assumes?
