It appears the way that the box addresses items that use the same mac address but have different ip addresses is not a working function. It appears that the box was not able to add two devices that have different ip addressed but the same mac address. Just wanted to give a suggestion that maybe there could be a provision to allow for this specific type of adding a device.

That won't ever work. ARP resolves IP to a MAC address. You can't have duplicate MACs and be successful. The only possible way is with a multicast cluster MAC. I doubt the ZA will ever support that.


Don't go riding on that long black train.

Did you ever get the bridge to work?
Truth be told a device should not have the same MAC address for anything... thats really not a good thing... even virtual ip's usually do not share a MAC...
