Huh? Am I misinterpreting? The MAC is supposed to be world-wide
unique
to each interface. There are a couple of situations where this can
accidentally happen, like VMware using the same poorly-chosen random
MAC
for two VMs that breaks everything on that vSwitch, but that's the
only
one that I've ever encountered. Having the same MAC on two interfaces
is
not legal, so you should expect to break something on any router or
machine that I can think of. If it works, then that router is
broken.
Mac=Macintosh rather than MAC=Medium Access Control?
