I have an strange one that has me scratching my head.
I have the following MikroTik items in my network
RB960PGS (hEX PoE) - The main router and CAPsMAN
RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT (hAP ac) - In CAP mode
2x RBD52G-5HacD2HnD (hAP ac2)- In CAP mode
I have been having issues when trying to connect to either the hEX or one of the hAP ac2 via MAC in Winbox, where it seems to get confused and not connect me to the right one.
I have just been dealing with it and connecting via IP, but a few other issues have had me looking deeper into this and I have found that the hEX PoE and one of the hAP ac2 appear to have the same MAC addresses on their interfaces. Albeit they aren't a direct correlation, but you can see below that the same MAC addresses are still present on the ethernet interfaces none the less.
I have never seen this before, and I have no idea how it has happened.
Is there anyway I can fix this? I have had a look around WinBox, tried the "Reset MAC Address" under each interface, but that made no difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
