@mjomha what about filtering our multicast IPs and/or broadcast MACs?

Good idea. Let me give that a go and update the query. I was filtering within the Live Ops Gui, let me try adding that to the query.

Updated the query now it filters out broadcast and multicast addresses.

@mjomha you left off the HAVING count(mac) > 1 from your original query. Was this on purpose?

Thanks Jneslon for noticing. Accidentally deleted the last line.

 

Re-added it.


Thanks!
