Hi I guess my first question is while using Nmcli to configure you networks what tools can you use to view the configuration of the network cards. I know ipconfig is no longer used. ip a is presenting me with a duplicate mac on some servers and not on others
So here is the situation:
OS RH7.3 Latest fully patched Physical server
need to create a bond with LACP using two network cards
As we are forced to use the terminal as the server is physical we manually type in the commands and it works. But when we look back at the server after a reboot we notice the MAC addresses have duplicated on bond0, nic0 and nic4 the mac address is nic0 address. We have it hard coded into nmcli for 802-3-ethernet.mac-address:
Is this a known bug should we be worried about it?
When we do a nmcli ed show nic0 we do see the mac address and it is correct, but when we do ip a we see something different. Shouldn't the bond create its own mac address?

thanks hope this all makes sense. These are enterprise servers as well.

By RH 7.3 do you really mean the ancient RedHat version or did you mean instead RedHat Enterprise Linux which is RHEL rather than just RH?

ipconfig is the DOS/Windows command. The Linux command is ifconfig.
