I did try that long ago, and found it caused problems trying to give the same IP to two different ports. Even on things that really should be able to handle that kind of thing, such as a mobile phone using WiFi around premises with two access points, using the same SSIDs and passphrases, both connected to the same DNS and DHCP server by cable, they wouldn't do the desired thing. They'd always try to keep using the same access point. And on the few times they'd flip over, all traffic got halted and had to be manually restarted. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.36.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jul 21 11:57:15 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
