Thanks for the reply, this is correct. When I do show net vlan in my route domain, I get the mac address for the vlan, BUT, this mac address is the same mac address for the interface that is NOT related to the vlan. For clarity: Vlan_100 configured on interface 1.1, show /net vlan gives me 0:23:e9:5c:8c:9 Show interface shows me this mac is the same as interface 1.4 example: Interface 1.1 - mac address 0:23:e9:5c:8c:2 Interface 1.4 - mac address 0:23:e9:5c:8c:9 Lets say I'm troubleshooting a health monitor from a non floating ip address in vlan 100 and I'm checking arp on the host, I get mac address 0:23:e9:5c:8c:9
