Procurve 2510 Static-Mac

[MikeMayfield]

Trying to assign a static-mac to a vlan/port to get around issues with an NLB cluster's virtual IP addy. My command is as follows:

static-mac 03bf0a7c7c09 vlan 11 interface 16

and the error is:

value static-mac is invalid

Is this a syntax issue, or am I missing something else?

[cenk sasmaztin]

your mac address format is wrong

please test
,

(config)#static-mac 03bf0a-7c7c09 vlan 11 interface 16

I tried damn near every format i could think of; including that one.

I think the issue is it's a broadcast mac, which it doesn't seem to like. I ended up switching to a Unicast NLB and carving out a VLAN for it; works now. There were some references in other threads that I found that suggest that HP ProCurves do no support static ARP.
