How to resolve duplicated MAC address on Solaris server?

Hi folks,

I found out the following:

Code:
provadm@BKP_LIV_NPPGW_02:home/provadm%/usr/sbin/arp -a
Net to Media Table: IPv4
Device IP Address Mask Flags Phys Addr
------ -------------------- --------------- -------- --------------------
ce5 BKP_OnM_NPPGW_02 255.255.255.255 SPLA 00:14:4f:44:e0:86
ce4 BKP_LIV_NPPGW_02 255.255.255.255 SPLA 00:14:4f:44:e0:86


The duplicated mac address was found on ce5.
Can you advise me how to remove ce5 from that mac address without causing any service impacts?
I wanted to remove the duplicated mac address and keep one for ce4.
Thanks in advance
