Odd vmkernel log line?

[matthew_commers]

Any ideas why i keep getting a lot of these in my kernel log?

Apr 14 06:29:21 machine vmkernel: 1:01:31:58.305 cpu0:1084)Net: 4203: unicastAddr <unicast address removed>

?

One of your VM is broadcasting on a multicast adress, and the VMkernel is informing you of it; it can be helpful for security reasons.

If the machine is not configured to be multicast by purpose, you can reconfigure it to what you expected but here is a kb describing what each mode does and determine from there. Its being use when you configure NLB cluster
