Hi All,
=20
There are some instances, where it is required to assign multiple MAC
addresses to an interface.
e.g. I am trying to implement VRRP on Linux, wherein we have a different
MAC address for every VRRP Router.=20
=20
But after surfing through the web , I found that no card (?) is there
which support multiple MAC addresses.
=20
Is there any workaround available for this problem. Can it be possible
to assign multiple MAC addresses to an NIC card?
=20
Thanks & Regards,
Narendra
