Hello,
does anyone know how the system selects the MAC/ether adress of a
newly-created tap0 device ?
ifconfig tap0 create
has this:
tap0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=80000<LINKSTATE>
ether 58:9c:fc:10:98:02
groups: tap
media: Ethernet autoselect
status: no carrier
nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
How is that selected ?
We had a case where two devices selected the same ether/MAC...
