What can happen to IPMP if local-mac-address is set to false?

Does it cause packets to get dropped or lost?

Probably depends on the topology. As long as the ports are on separate networks and the same switch can't see both ports, there should be no problem.
If both ports go to the same switch, then it might get confused about which is which and make poor routing decisions.

Since this is IPMP we're talking about the MAC addresses would be used within the same VLAN. Might be a different switch, but still the same VLAN.I wouldn't do it. Just set the OBP param to "true".Cailin_Coilleach at 2007-7-6 15:07:06 >

Thanks for the replies. I do set it to true but I have found out that there are some systems in our network that have not set it to true and was wondering what are the side effects. As Cailin_Coilleach mentioned, they are on the same VLAN but different switches.
I am thinking that this might cause packet drops/loss/re-trans. I just need to confirm this.
