  Forgot to mention one thing in the previous mail though. It is not
  recommended to configure the mac addresses, using this method. If
  you flash the same u-boot image on multiple boards (which you most
  probably will), the ethernet controllers on all the boards will end
  up having the same mac addresses, which is something you don't
  want. You can configure the mac addresses through the environment
  settings, for each board. Check this,

  I'm not sure what you want to do, but AFAIK, you have a single
  ethernet controller which is active, set by the 'ethact' env
  variable. This is used to send/receive the traffic. So i'm not sure
  why you require multiple ip/gateways and serverip's to be set.
