We are testing setting up an active/standby mc-lag for a customer, when we simply place the same IP on each member and fail over the lag to the other member L3 works right away, which is great, but I would of thought I'd have to statically set the mac address of the active member on the standby member since each MX uses a different mac address. Can anyone confirm this is fine the way it is or would I be running into issues later on?
## Active Member

}
mc-ae {
mc-ae-id 6;
redundancy-group 1;
chassis-id 0;
mode active-standby;
status-control active;
}
}
unit 3002 {

family inet {
mtu 1500;
