Is it possible to use the same mac address for each vip on the same partiton as the routed ve interface has ?
Hi ivdouden,
Yes, it should work like that way by default.
Here is the example:
I have 2 VIPs (.14 and .15) on the eth2/ ve56 (MAC: 000c.2953.20b9).
vThunderADC#sh run | incl slb vir
slb virtual-server Web14 10.0.56.14
slb virtual-server Web15 10.0.56.15
vThunderADC#sh int br
Port Link Dupl Speed Trunk Vlan MAC IP Address IPs Name
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mgmt Up Full 1000 N/A N/A 000c.2953.20af 172.20.15.101/16 1
1 Up Full 10000 none 56 000c.2953.20b9 0.0.0.0/0 0
2 Up Full 10000 none 1 000c.2953.20c3 10.0.255.101/24 1
ve56 Up N/A N/A N/A 56 000c.2953.20b9 10.0.56.101/24 1
On my upstream router, i see both VIP with the same MAC address:
GW>sh arp
Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Interface
10.0.56.14 N/A 000c.2953.20b9 Vlan10, Ethernet46
10.0.56.15 N/A 000c.2953.20b9 Vlan10, Ethernet46
10.0.56.101 N/A 000c.2953.20b9 Vlan10, Ethernet46
Hope it helps.
