hi there,
you’re not alone. i see this error message at (just) one place, where an PM G5 Dual 1.8, equipped with an additional APPLE ethernet gigabit card, runs Mac OS X Server.
Nov 29 23:31:16 mail kernel[0]: bond0 duplicate IP address 192.168.1.5 sent from address (own MAC address)
the errors were at least there, since 10.4.7, cause i updated yesterday to 10.4.8. bang, had bad luck with password server not working afterwards. apple had a knowledge base article, which helped to fix this. even though, i had to modify that script, cause of network differencies.
well, at that client the setup is as follows:
server is connected via 2 network cables to a netgear gigabit switch. the setup for the network is changed, so that i have a new network interface called bond0, as apple recommends it. so the server has the (theoretically) double network throughput. there’s no need to change anything on the switch – apple says.
at another client of mine, a Xserve uses the same setup as above, with the only difference in being, that the netgear gigabit switch is set to bind those two ports, where both network cables from the Xserve coming are connected to, to one port. at this place no such errors occur.
at the client plotted as first one here, i was not successful in combining those two ports at the netgear switch. the switch doesn’t accept the bonding, why ever that is. i tried all to my knowledge.
