When you team nics on a server wouldn't it make sense that the server only be shown to have single ip address? As an example one of our servers has 3 nic cards that are teamed together as 10.0.0.70, however because they are different nics they all have different MAC addresses. When running wireshark earlier I noticed alot of entries stating duplicate ip (because of the same ip with different macs). Is this normal?

The only ones Ive teamed are Broadcoms built into the Dell servers. I beleive they had a new MAC just for the team. -

HP's also add a new MAC that's one character off of the actual MAC addresses.Good luck to all! -

They are IBM blades (HS12). I figured it would be something like clustering where they get a virtual ip and a seperate mac. So I guess it is odd that there are "duplicate ip addresses".
