the above 2 lines are on the host running bhyve (server?) and the MACs belong
to the client, and they are identical,
there is no complaints.
(BTW, did you change the ip’s?)

this is on the client, where the MAC are different (it’s of the hosting
computer).

I do want to know if there are ip/mac issues, it usually happens when more than
one host has the same ip,
which is not the case here :-(
