I'm running Red Hat 6.2 on an IBM server with 4 Ethernet interfaces.
I have heard that the Linux O/S has the ability to detect problems on an Ethernet interface and send an ARP to the network assigning the troubled interface's IP address to the MAC address of a functional interface. I have witnessed this from the network view point, seeing the same MAC address assigned to 2 or more IP addresses of the server.
I have looked and looked for documentation explaining this but have not found any.
Can anyone give more detail on this behavior?
