esxi 7 same mac shows up in multiple port groups

[RaySperle]

I have esxi set up with multiple port groups and noticed I have the same mac address in different port groups. Any ideas why? I checked in the vm sections and the mac is only assigned to a single port group

any help is greatly appreciated

AFAIK it's a GUI/display bug in the ESXi host's Web client.

Much appreciated! I'm using a dell esxi load, going to check if there's an update.

Update to u2 didn't fix the issue, still have same MAC in multiple port groups. Even reconfigured all nics into common port group, then reassigned them back to intended port group and still same same. It moves the same nic into multiple port groups.

Anyone know a fix, and does this impact the actual networking of the vm?

VMware ensures that MAC addresses are unique within a vSphere environment. What counts are the MAC addresses that show up in the VM's settings. The GUI/display issue doesn't affect anything.
