Hello!

On of my friends has a problem with a C7609. On all interfaces there is the same mac-address (see below). Do you know why this is happening?

Thanks!

By default, Catalyst switches come with the same MAC address configured on all interfaces.

This is not a problem. Try removing the ip address from the interface and make it an L2 port. you should see that the mac-address chnages

Hello,

Could you please explain me how to do it by commands

I faced the same situation in the past & I've set manually new MAC addresses for the interfaces that I want to use (I've add +1 from the Built in mac address)

Tarik,

Actually the way you adopted is the right one cos it may not be feasibel for you to chnage a L3 port to L2 port based on your topology

In terms of commands, its just turning an L3 port to L2 for eg.

interface fa 0/1

no ip addres

switchport

Have a look here

Please correct me if I am wrong, but cisco 7609 is a router not a catalyst switch.

I faced an issue where two of my router ports(Gig7/0/0 and Gig8/0/0) are connected to switch ports(Gi1/0/26 and Gi1/0/27) respectively.

Multiple dot1q sub-interfaces are configured on the router ports.

Due to some misconfiguration same vlan 10 is assigned to sub-interfaces gig7/0/0.10 and gig8/0/0.10, which lead to continuous macflap for vlan 10 on switch.

This macflap lead to bgp session flap which created a havoc in the network.

2xGE V2 SPA cards are inserted in module 7 and module 8.

Why the physical interface on the router does not have unique mac address ?
