Hello everyone, I assigned a 00:00:00:00:00:00 MAC address to one of my interfaces on a mac= hine and tried to ping the peer machine. The ping did go through fine. I can the see the request and reply packets on the packet capture. I am won= dering if that is legitimate and if not, who is supposed to check that. I m= ean, the stack or the driver on the sending machine or the receiving machin= e. Basically, I am trying to test a statistics utility which keeps track of pa= ckets with invalid MAC addresses. Are the packets with zero MAC addresses = be classified as invalid? Thanks a lot Adarsh ________________________________ This message and any attached documents contain information from QLogic Cor= poration or its wholly-owned subsidiaries that may be confidential.
