I have multiple MC-LAG deployments at an extreamly large site. Occasionally I need to track a MAC address to an access port, so I get the MAC assosicated with the devices IP address off of my firewall then login to the access switch and do show ethernet-switching table | match <MAC>. The problem is some MAC addresses associate with the aggergation interface (ae0.0) instead of the physical interface then I have no idea what acesse port I need to look at.
So my question is why do some MACs in the ARP table associate with the logical interface while others associate with the physical interface? WIll MAC address associating with ae0.0 cause problems? And is there another way to see which MAC addresses are connected to what interface?
(Example)
pack-plc 00:07:af:e6:be:a0 D - ge-0/0/7.0
pack-plc 00:07:af:e6:c7:b0 D - ge-0/0/18.0
pack-plc 00:07:af:e7:49:00 D - ge-0/0/10.0
pack-plc 00:0c:29:0f:0b:b9 D - ae0.0
pack-plc 00:0c:29:1c:86:a0 D - ae0.0
pack-plc 00:0c:29:52:25:66 D - ae0.0
