Hello,

I read about the site 'dhcpinterfaces' attribute that:

"To disable the genesis kernel from being sent to specific interfaces, a
':noboot' option can be appended to the interface name. For example, if the management node has two interfaces, eth1 and eth2, disablegenesis from being sent to eth1 using: "eth1:noboot,eth2".

What I experiment is what looks like as side effect of this. For a Management node with :

- with "dhcpinterfaces","eth0:noboot,eth1",,

and a node which

* PXE boots on nicA facing MN's eth1 (and swith/swithport attribtues relating to nicA)

* and which also have nicB facing MN's eth0

-> I end up in the mac table with only nicA mac address.

- but without the 'noboot' paramenter

-> I end up with the following entry in the mac table :

"node","<nicA mac>","<nicB mac>!*NOIP*"

- how does genesis know that <nicB mac> belongs to "node" as node.switch and swichport relate only to nicA facing port ?

- what should I do to have dhcp generate en entry for nicB (in addition to nicA) when the node gets discovered ?

PS : I'm talking about different subnets here

Thanks you
