ce0 and ce1 have the same mac address

i have ce0 and ce1 online, on 2 different networks. im getting a message that says one nic is trying to assume the others IP or something to thta effect.

I do ifconfig -a and i see they have the same mac.

How do i deal with this?

Solaris 9 i beleive 04/04

Thanks,
Brian

Don't know if this works on ce devices, but setting eeprom parameter local-mac-address?=true will allow each interface to have it's own MAC.

local-mac works on every interface on sparc, the mac-address is usually build based on the hostid(M). if you set your local-mac-addresse? to true the nics will have its own MACs. but anyway "one nic is trying to assume the others IP" does not depend on the MACaddr. post the message and your ifconfig output, it seems that something else wants to get the same IP, or perhabs you have a bad IPMP configuration...
