In the netmon daemon configuation, there is an option about the source
route bit in physical addresses. The choices are none, report, and ignore.
Choose ignore. The events will no longer be generated. The only case in
which this event is useful is in detecting when a device has a new nic, or
when an address might have been stolen by a different device. But it also
occurrs for the reason you stated, and so frequently in today's networks
that I prefer to just turn it off. But you should know what you are turning
off.
Cordially,

Hi again,
What do you do with Intel print servers that report through snmp a
different mac address than they are really using and NetView is finding out
because it is getting the correct mac addresses from the router.
