Client-ID is a neat trick, but it's got some not-so-hidden limitations. That trick works because you're depending on the layer 3 fixup code in the OSA to sort things out, since in that situation all the guest frames have the physical MAC of the OSA. The second one of those interfaces has to talk to something outside the box on a layer 2 VSWITCH, then the MACs have to be unique. Debugging this leads to a lot of pain and head-scratching on your part, and much invective from your networking people. This is one of those avoidable problems, better to just make them unique to start with. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
