I don't get your point about the MAC address being for "in the first place"... MAC addresses are for ensure L2 connectivity. L3 is only relying on L3 addressing, i.e. IP, whatever L2 you're using. If you use the wrong IP address, then the device has wether to drop or route the packet. Period. Speaking of unicast IP addresses, of course...For instance, I have a few IP cameras around my infrastructure... If I add a static ARP entry for the MAC to some arbitrary IP (that's still on my subnet) I can use that arbitrary IP to access the unit's HTTP configuration... works just fine.You're lucky to be facing theses non RFC compliant devices :)))
I was disapointed by the same behaviour some year ago with network printer from Hewlett-Packard. Now, i know it's not RFC compliant! thank Cedric. -- mzongo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Audit your website security with Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner: Hackers are concentrating their efforts on attacking applications on your website.
