It all has to do with the Ethernet hardware type. Anything running the old Lan
ce Ethernet hardware,
like the 2500s, could not support multiple MAC addresses. This is a limitation
of the Ethernet chip
itself. Using HSRP with DecNet, and MHSRP are all related to the Ethernet hard
ware being able to
support multiple MAC addresses.
You can determine what kind of hardware it is running by a 'sho int (interface
name)'. Here is a
sample output from a router I am working on.
Router#sho int e0/0
Ethernet0/0 is administratively down, line protocol is down
Hardware is AmdP2, address is 00d0.5835.9340 (bia 00d0.5835.9340)
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 10000 Kbit, DLY 1000 usec,
reliability 252/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
The 'Hardware is' line will tell you what it is.
This is on a 2600, in case you were wondering.
